The SVT Might not make it to SZ!

[TheMexicanJob]

put on some rally tires, foot to floor, and give it hell. :laugh:

 

[Lord Stanley]

LOL ... IIRC, those are water pipes. He'd also be cutting off the street's water supply and creating a nice big flood next to his house's basement.

I knew that already, I never said it was a good idea :blackeye:

 

[BloodyTomFlint]

What a pain in the ass. Good luck with that. And no, I don't want to go swimming.

 

[ElKy]

i seriously think the construction crew believes that everybody in the world drives 4x4 vehicles.
if their equipment can drive over it every other vehicle must be able to.
fuggers

 

[BloodyTomFlint]

So I guess you just have to add a bulldozer to your fleet of vehicles.

 

[zorrex]

yeah there was some talk of our wastewater making its way into the Merrimac river.


wanna go swimming?

Yeah but who cares. All that waste has to go somewhere. Waste doesn't disappear. It is likely that there isn't even a sufficient sized wastewater treatment plant to treat all the wastewater that you'd be piping in. In fact, if a WWTP gets backed up and can't handle the flow, it DOES just pump right into the receiving water. So what is the difference?

But what's really important here is getting the SVT out. :laugh:

 

[loc0gring0]

just go sideways across it

 

[frenchblueC2]

just go sideways across it

That's one of the extreme angles he was talking about.

 

[elraido]

Looks like a typical Mn road to me. :laugh:

 

[ElKy]

just go sideways across it

the problem with that is the amount you sink into it, i should take some more pics and show you how messed up it already is after 2 days.

 

[TheMexicanJob]

run it over a lot, then get some plywood and lay it over top.

 

[rouar]

I want to see video of a hearse burnout over the water pipe. :laugh:

 

[dairdevyld]

Have the construction workers lay down in two lines over that and use them as a ramp. Anyone that makes such an idiotic inconvenience for people they're supposed to be helping can' be any more useful than two planks of wood.:laugh:

 

[zorrex]

Just thought of something...Could you maybe dig a smallish trench in the remains of your lawn next to the drive way and tuck the water line in, and then ramp yourself off the curb instead? I think this will work well

 

[BOMBdig]

air lift it out :shrug:

 

[BloodyTomFlint]

Air lift your boobs out? Oh wait, wrong thread.

 

[FrozenSection]

What's the diameter of that pipe? My admittedly naive and overly simplistic suggestion would be to use some plywood leading up to the pipe from the side of your lawn, buttressed underneath by scrap wood. :shrug:

The entire situation does suck, though. Regardless, with the sheer number of engineers in NE-CEG (by far the highest in any of the car forums I visit), I feel absolutely comfortable betting that the SVT will indeed make it to SZ.

 

[ElKy]

the pipe is about 6" in diameter.
i have pics from last night on my camera and i will put them up in a few.

tonight is going to be fun, its the first cruise night of the season that i want to take the hearse to.
it is going to sink all the way in that crap.
not fun!

 

[ElKy]

here is a pic of what the mound looked like last night.
i also just realized that it is so soft because it has sand under it!

 

[bishop375]

Wow.. bunch of friggin' rocket scientists working on that, eh? I'd say go with a ramp, myself.

I can't believe they couldn't find a way to run it along the curb, though.
