Here they go again...

For those who've missed it, once again some in the 101 club seem to have trouble with arses and elbows.

I did like Les Adams contribution though...

Hmmmm.....
Yes.
Some time ago, someone in the 101 club sent me an email. In this email he said "In the 101 club, a lot of the members are handbags." I have no idea what that means but I am beginning to.
They certainly are a strange lot. I put it down to cultural differences.

The servo unit described in that thread, I refer to as the brake booster. I assisted Alien in fixing the brake booster on the Inter. Seemed a pretty straight forward job.

Handbag is a good description. Stuffed with their own self importance.

Small minded, happy to bicker at the drop of a hat, they lurch from committee meeting to committee meeting with their sole worry in life being what variety of biscuits are being served at those meetings.

Very amusing. Have also been following this, what's more amusing is that said 'Hand Bag' is not currently a club member!!!

I am a member of the club and encourage the 101 owners I meet to join it. There is, however, a committee member who is undoing my efforts and driving people away.
There are a few people in the club and on the forum who are sullying the name of the club by carrying on in such a way as demonstrated in this thread. Who would join a band of tossers?
Before the end of the membership period they had over four hundred members. So far in this membership period, less than half have rejoined.
I reckon, if we got all the 101 owners in Australia to join, we'd be just about half the membership. That'd give the moaners something to post about.

Yeah, it's not rocket science, and if you can get the thing apart you've done the hard part. You would think the way they were carrying on that someone was replacing the drums with saucepans...

Nice thought, but I won't be spending my hard earned there again. The fact they lock up most of the forum unless you are paid up is stupid as well. As unfortunate as it is, while they carry on like this, their days are numbered...

I'm sure that some of them must check out this forum and see that we are talking about them like this - why don't they wake up and smell the roses.

If you were to use Le Cruset they'd look smart... You have a choice of red or blue too... Deeper than 101 drums so we could use truck shoes and have better stoppers too.....

Oh, hang on, we'd have modified it from standard... That might invalidate the warrantee, cause concern for the insurers, and upset someone!!

Jokes aside, it is a pity as there is a lot of good info there, some that I'd love to add too, and some I'd like to know more about!! Still giggling about the saucepans.. Wonder if Jon's upgraded master cylinder would keep up with them!

Red would look good...

Maybe I'm wrong here, but how would anyone know you have even changed the booster anyway? My insurance company had to google 'Land Rover 101' to know what they were going to insure, even though I'm pretty sure there are more than 1 101's insured by them.

Even if the vehicle was involved in a serious accident - unless a brake failure had caused it, then the investigators wouldn't even worry about it - they check the brake system, if they find it was in operable order, then they move on.

Complete paranoia in my opinion. I will be doing a booster upgrade at some point - who will I upset by doing that?

Red ones make em go faster...
