GigGleR Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 at some point on the 10cr the finger tip on the ring finger of my right hand went numb and is still numb. I have been told that its down to the vibrations transmitted through a wood rimmed steering wheel rather than a padded one. Should I have done a risk assessment before the event? ;D ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ooh nasty! Try googling "vibration white finger" - it's a know malady! The worst thing is that it builds up from a cumulative effect. Extended power tool use can cause the same!However I can't see a wooden wheel transmitting any more or less vibe than most normal classic steering wheels that had minimal padding anyway? Is the old bus manual or PS? I thought Mk1's had a "donut" in the steering coupling anyway, which should allieviate that?If your vibe was bad enough to cause that, then never mind what wheel is fitted, you should look to identify and remedy the cause!

Jason Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've succumbed to a bout of 10CR Elbow - the quack diagnoses Tendonitis brought about by resting my elbow in the same place for long periods - it's bloody painful but at least the happy pills the quack's given me are entertaining - improved my flatulence to olympic standard (to be fair driving my modern and working at a PC also played a part in the tendonitis, I'm naturally blessed with the flatulence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigGleR Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Sorry, theres a slight misunderstanding here I think. It was my old man, the old goat and Steph in the Vitesse that this is about. He started the thread on my account ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Co Driver Ashley complained the metal from the MotoWheel came off on his hands. Pete and I did not have that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I wouldn't worry about it. One of my big toes has had little feeling for a few years now. I'll go down to the doctors to find out why one day but it's not getting much worse too quickly at the moment. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Me thinks the girl in the Luton Supermarket had something to do with it. Me also think she could make the toe, Foot, leg and so on feel much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I still have no idea who that was. You seem rather taken by her though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
