  1. You cant miss mozza in a crowd, hes the one who looks like hes standing on a box, even though he isnt...........
  2. I dont know what mine holds, I'v never filled it up! Probably 195 litres.....
  3. Velocity doesnt milk very much anyway in my experience, in fact most samson ropes seem to milk very little.
  4. Supermarket car parks can be dangerous places for shiny vehicles...........all those shortsighted middle aged women who have trouble parking. I'd steer clear of all public car parks if i were you!
  5. Because its been dry or because you have been standing over them cracking the whip?
  6. Er, how would you know how fast its going anyway, do you drop a weight tied to a piece of string out the window and count the knots?
  7. Hockling and milking are two different things, milking is where the cover stretches and you get a bit of empty cover appearing at the end of the rope. If your having trouble coiling it up, it sounds like the rope is hockling, where it gets lots of kinks and twists in it. You need to run it through a figure 8 and push all the twists out to one end of the line.
  8. No, not at £3500 for a retro fit. Be cheaper to buy another crane that already has it and trade mine in.
  9. Absolutely not officer!
  10. Handy for reaching over fences and grabbing out other companies log piles in the middle of the night too...........
  11. 25 foot ish, 30 something straight up....
  12. A very expensive and unusual (over here) crane that folds up with the grapple on
  13. I'v got a big truck with a handy lifty thing and i can still overload it!
  14. If you get enough overhang you could cut the chassis off and hinge the tipper bed in the middle, and you wouldnt even need a ram to tip it! Just pull the catch and up it flips! That would be a weight saver!
  15. Sweet! An entire family of refugees could shelter under that!

    Jo came third, dont know who won the ladies.
  17. How does an elephant get down from an oak tree? Sits on a leaf and waits for autumn
  18. How does an elephant climb an oak tree? Sits on an acorn and waits for spring

  20. I wouldnt worry about parts for the ldv, there will be plenty at the breakers yard!
  21. Are you shortening the overhang then?
  22. White horse walks into a bar, the barman says, hey we have a whisky named after you! The horse looks confused and replies, what, Eric?
  23. My stein has gone on the poles too, but the new faltheimers arnt as good as the old ones either.
  24. Its cool.
  25. 56,000 miles?! Its probably been around the clock twice!
