Topic : Van on skipton road |
|
| greengrass |
What are them yellow blocks for? Does the hand brake work or not  |
|
| pumbajunior |
dunno but i presume your refering to the vw camper its been there on and off for ages yup im guessing the faith in the handbrake is minimal |

I actually thought you were joking! They're called 'chocks' as in "chocks away!" Quite sensible for a large vehicle parked on a hill, better to be safe than sorry. Although you'd think being that sensible they'd pick a better place to park, glad I don't live next door, wouldn't want to look at that out my window everyday. |

Hey chocks away its one off them german planes you know one off them fokkers |
|

Actually those yellow things that look like chocks; are for leveling the van on uneven ground! Although if that was the owners intention on Skipton Road he will need some that are a fair bit bigger. These will neither level it or stop it running away. |

If there plastic thats not so bad but if there METAL well i think its about £260 a ton there not safe some body will have em  |

I think the chocks are to keep the fridge inside the van level not to stop it running away |
|
| pumbajunior |
Ahh yeah didnt think of the fridge being level good point |

This topic was brought up a few months ago and the van was moved later that day ,Its all about parking so many metres from a busy junction when you are trying to emerge from the cobbles on Elm Grove |

Its the parking of the van thats the problem not the chocks |
|
| greengrass |
