  1. I knew it was either naturist or naturalist but ive had a beer so didnt care:wave:
  2. Yeh nice to get a pat on the back from jo public now and then!
  3. Ok then, i understand its probably the way a lot of our job is going, ie unjustified work and appeasing naturists, but why do it if it isnt commercially viable?
  4. Nice useful landy TC, is it 300tdi or td5? I believe they changed on R reg. Suppose i could manage something like that now i dont need a double cab!
  5. Oh, and its got a towbar thrown in for good measure- i wont tell the missus what i have in mind:driver:
  6. Wish it was Ed, gone a bot toooooo sensible, its the 100bhp 1.9tdi SE. Doesnt do too bad on the uptake i suppose but its only group 12 and £115 a year road rent:proud:
  7. And here is the one the Audi has replaced; And yes, it is for sale! If anyone is interested, let me know:wave:
  8. Ok, heres the new ride, gone a bit sensible i think!
  9. I will keep my ears open Ed I am very close to you but i think you know the story already. I do know of one guy whos looking for someone to work with, just set up but no work at all!
  10. Totally agree with you Ed about the manta. I had a GTE with a boot, trouble was I owned 7 different capris before i got the Opel. Learned in the end i suppose!
  11. Could never afford anything like that in my youth but heres one i did have- still coundnt afford it though; Bodean, this is pretty near to what i see an american muscle car, front engine, rear wheel drive, lots of power, but handles like its on packed snow all the time, and if you want it to stop, well thats another story.......
  12. Ok Ed, i see you have tried a VT also with the same problem. Just wanted to make sure that you tried adding a wrap to stop the problem? Being around 100kgs myself:wave: i found the same problems you have but always seem to go back to a triple wrap frech prussic with tending pulley. Have you tried that?
  13. Oh and yes its raining here.........again
  14. Treebogan, you may have lots more rain than us, but you live in a very nice part of the world- think that must make up for it.........
  15. Adam, i know of a 90 coming my way in next few weeks. Its a K reg tho 200tdi and very good condition, same company owned from new. I think the milage is good and it should be around £4-4500. I can let you know if i get my hands on it, if you want.
  16. Dare say thats a job anyone could take pride in, and get some respect and reward from, but, 19k- jeez!
  17. Andy, is that a sycamore you lads have grafted cedar branches to in the second pic?
  18. Looks like the week is a right off for us, then we`re sun bathing at the weekend! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2160
  19. Sure andy, i believe you:wave: Nearly as bad this morning as it was yesterday when i looked out! Never mind, going to pick up the new motor this morning.
  20. Had the same one! Thought someone was watching me:scared:
  21. On the other hand, there is always something satisfying about dropping big pops!
  22. Not picking fault, just a thought- why would they be felling the first two trees? Looks like a very mature setting- if you know what i mean. Oh, and his back cut on the first tree was a bit high:)
  23. Yeh, lots to do servicing etc, just frustrating when you got a book full of work but dont want to get pnuemonia either. Bit of a toss up.....
  24. Rain, rain................... Ok, lets be honest, who does keep working through this stuff? Personally i will go out if the weather is ok, but the forcast is bad and then keep working anyway. However if its like it was this morning when i got up NOOOOO way! How far do you "push it"?
  25. Another good use for a vid like that is for training purposes- giving a realistic view of what can happen always helps, at the end of the day like its already been said no amount of safety can make you invincible! Oh, and yes it did shock me, in fact i cringed, but i dont think that makes me a wuss!
