If I'm feeling depressed, I cheer myself up by looking at garage forecourt kindling pricing. Makes me feel like a millionaire.

Don’t know. Who mustn’t be mentioned? You can mention them once I’m sure. In fact you must!

Is Trump Coin a value play now? Or is it a case of no point trying to flog a dead horse? Prices of meme coins linked to U.S. President Donald Trump have plunged more than 90% in a year, signaling that the meme-coin frenzy is cooling rapidly. The so-called "Trump coin," which surged ahead of the inauguration early last year, is now trading about 94% below its peak.

Didn't one of the citroen vans do that, basically a c5 hybrid platform, engine driven front wheels and electrci back? He who mustn't be mentioned would know.

Gold and silver prices going nuts. If you follow the markets, when this type of euphoria sets in its usually time to sell. Expecting a crash anytime, at which point the markets will hopefully diverge into crypto.

@markieg31 I’m not sure I’ve banged on about this recently but the way to build vans is internal combustion front wheel drive and electric rear wheel drive. Low load area floor, three wheel drive with effectively any degree of diff locking/slip on the back you like, electromagnetic braking. You could even make the rears steer since they’d only need articulation and not transmission. Hybrid clean in tight quarters and shunting about on electricity and internal combustion for full days’ working. Modern vehicles are already complicated and unreliable. Might as well make them good in the intervening moments. Fair enough about the cost of a round cab mog. That is actually a reasonable way for you to get low range.

Ah ok. I'm in the process of building another log store, so yes, maybe I should focus on unseasoned logs. I can't seem to edit the original post, so I may copy, amend it and post it in a different forum as I'm not sure this was the right one anyway. Thanks for the suggestion. -
Morning all, Hedge reduction in the rain today, then hopefully sorting kit ready for Loler. I once drove a Land Rover 110 with the family, towing a caravan the the Loire valley. Vinyl seats in the heat. The the caravan fridge packed up. Have fun everyone.

I’m led to believe that’s exactly how it works. You can put whole trees in one end, and if the arse-end is at a garage forecourt you can basically go on holiday for a couple of weeks and come back a millionaire.

After any kind of hardwood for logs - obviously the usual suspects are better (ash, oak etc), but I'll take stuff like poplar and willow if it's a small~ish load so that I can mix it in with the better stuff when burning. It can be dumped on the road outside my workshop roller shutter, and Ill give you £20 so you can get yourself a pint after. There may even be a jar of homemade jam/marmalade in it if that floats your boat. Please call or text before hand. Also, I work from home so am available most of the time during working hours and can help unload.

The round cabs are amazing, forget all the bla bla bla about spares and costs, who cares. I can close my eyes and take myself right back to sitting in my little U900, the engine noise, the feel of the engine right beside me, I can do this with every machine I’ve ever owned, I’d easily have half a million quid in the bank by now if I just cut trees and didn’t have a love for machinery but where’s the passion in that. It’s the whole story of vehicles. It’s like watching a Top Gear adventure. The drive to get it, the meeting of others, the excitement of paying, funding, scraping together what you need to buy it, selling of stuff you don’t need, the breaking down, the bits you hate about them when you first start driving them but by the end up, you know every quirk to start, to open a door, the gear that’s not happy changing down into but it’s all part of it. If you love that kind of life, buy a mog and Landy and have this job of cutting trees to pay for it. Cook bacon once on the silencer of a mog in a field or wood with your mate at work and a dog running about , that’s heaven right there guys!

Good Morning Why isn't it Friday? I'm goosed. I once drove my LR Series 2A to Reading. If it had a radio in it I'm sure I would have heard about the mobile road block travelling Eastwards on the A322. Then same on the painful return. Still a cake famine round these parts too. Have a brilliant and dry one.

I drove a Land Rover from Durham to Angouleme, all the time cursing myself for buying the bloody witch’s curse. Heater was working in fairness.
