  1. new world record set by Mark Chisholm in the footlock at the hawaii ITCC of 13.8 seconds, heres the vid! http://www.freeworker.de/hawaii/movies/marcchisholm_13_8_sek_footlock.WMV
  2. cracking day here today....i almost caught myself moaning about the heat and had to remind myself how crap it has been the past few months and made the most of it, think i even got a tan!
  3. mark, this is something that has been discussed severeal times. the best one ive heard yet was i believe from peter. if you have secured your footlock line ie with a butterfly run up to the tip, you need only tie your friction hitch to the secured end of the doubled line. sounds confusing i know, do you follow?
  4. look like typical council specs to me!!!!! jp, that falcon rescue job sounded cool!
  5. welcome tom. good to have you on board!
  6. i agree.......im sure you did the maths on your original figures and were happy with the profit margin thor...stick with it i say!
  7. hi baz, welcome to the site. i think the internet is the way to go regards selling, why limit yourself to one area? the forums are the best place to find out about new equipment, in fact each year the arb shows are never so fun anymore, i already know what new is going to be there!! i'd advise you to go to some shows next year, AA and APF, watch who is busy and try to see why!
  8. good to have you here puwer
  9. i dont know what the specs were but ive been on a few jobs in the past where a double row of staggere cones had to be in place
  10. if the customer isnt prepared to pay the money for proper TM better to just price it high and walk.....who needs the headache?
  11. ifs its a busy road im inclined towards subbing the TM out to a professional company.....too much liability involved these days! if its something you think you can manage yourself you will(or should if you want to be legal) have a full chapter 8 road sign kit which you'll be looking in the region of £500 for, then the extra staff to man the road. oh you said it may need a closure, in which case you'd need to divert traffic aswell. one big headache!!! you do have to contact the emergency services for sure if theres going to be any possible holdups
  12. saw lees truck yesterday for the first time, its the nicest arb truck ive yet seen.
  13. please post here any bugs you think need ironed out. ive changed the pic settings, you can post jpg pics up to 500kb now
  14. i seem to recall posting something similar when this vid was originally posted
  15. sad news, not heard of him myself
  16. stick a pic on tomorrow if you can then
  17. your best bet is to save it all up and got to a craft fair one day!
  18. pics would be good.....it might be a straight forward tree, but i'll tell you now, you wont find a responsible arborist who will tell someone with little experience how to go about doing it!! post the pics though!
