  1. Les, we worked for the Turner's, you are lucky to get the steam off their waste.....
  2. Morning Team, enjoy the Friday and enjoy the weekend better! Be good y'all. Partial desk day today. Mark, Bowling, Auntie, Wrecks.
  3. I agree. I had a V6 Ranger at GreenMech and that was a better ride and more/smoother power delivery and a great gearbox. The Toyota is a tad agricultural but it works well enough. Ineos did tell me that fitting a taco wasn't doable which kind of kippered that idea of towing etc!
  4. Up and getting sorted for sales meeting. Was incredibly mild yesterday, when I left the house, dawnbwas just starting, not a cloud in the sky and it was 10 degrees! Got to 15 at some point yesterday too! Think the same out now! Be good and return home safely! Delhi, Gait.

    New Hilux.

    Sorry Rich, I assumed at the mpg it was a 2.8, but it transpires that it is a 2.4.....
  6. Actually, it seems that my Hilux is a 2.4. I too, are surprised!
  7. Tom started going to the gym at this time in the morning, must be target rich environment! Sounds still out, best get a cup of Yorkshire finest. Be good y'all! Ure, Ayah, Heap.
  8. Nowt to say. I left for other reasons but was happy enough with the majority of the folk i worked with, was previously an owner of two of the brand and wish the staff at Greenfab well. It is hard not to get bitter and twisted after all that happened (or didn't) during my 27 years there and I'll always look over that fence too. But, my time there is done. Jensen (the factory) have always been awkward to deal with. This current patch of difficulties is not helpful for those who want to buy them or are already an owner or dealer. Every brand has its idiosyncrasies, as does every dealer/supplier. Hint....if you buy a machine and have issues, call the sales bloke. He had your commission and wants your next order, if he is any good, he will move heaven and hell to sort your issues. If he has any spine, he will 'sell' his own product/organisation without slagging off his opponents or their wares..... I think the lecture ends here.
  9. I thought that they went in to Admin as a co owner wanted out. A new owner was found but yes, supply has been hit and miss at best. I heard that Field and Forest had a delivery postponed from February to November over supply issues and the main rep has gone across to Groundcare as he was tired of dealing with the poor situation etc....good luck to them, decent machine but poorly supported from the manufacturers.
  10. Dangerous for new Dad's, up at night feeding the bairn and scrolling through machinery listing's looking for something to buy. Be careful Stevie! Up, had the tea, away down south to see people with big chipper hanging off the truck! Be good folks. Hoe, Mad, Dress.
  11. I've got a 74 plate Hilux which has got 3k added in a month. Impressed with the mpg out of the box. 29 not towing and 22 towing a 3150kg Ufkes chipper. Pretty well all on the cruise control. Bit agricultural in some ways compared to V6 Ford but it has done the job so far! BTW, 2.8 diesel, 4 banger.
  12. At the deskthen out casting my net apart from Thursday when we have a sales meeting! Be good y'all! Summon, Lyre, Cue.
  13. Megan reach out, through a flunky who authenticated the situation, to her father? Just how is that newsworthy and why is she given any attention?
  14. In bed still, tea and crossword while thinking that there is nothing really newsworthy in it. Who gives a toss to Megan Narkle getting some flunky to 'reach out' to her dad!!!? Unload logs and return trailer to mates place while she makes door wreaths. Attic, leak, off.

  16. Morning Team, in a hotel near Bracknell. Good night last night and feelma bit beery this morning! Case of rinse and repeat too I reckon with the wench wanting to get for a few tonight too! Logs to sort out this aft though.... Enjoy your Saturday! Spine, Hovels
  17. Decent clay shoot at Churchill spot, possibly the best in England, lovely supper and loads of booze! Left the youngsters to go to town but seem to be one of the last of the oldies. Thanks for the birthday wishes, it is appreciated! So would the help unloading/stacking 2t of logs in Retford tomorrow if anyone can swap beer for activity? Beer in Brewshed in town.?
  18. Works party today. Shooting clays in the morning and Xmas dinner in the afternoon with a few drinks and a night in the hotel! Enjoy your Friday! Come home safe! Cross, Aries.
  19. The tablets take a while to work and sometimes the dosage might need tweaking. Seek a visit with yout GP....be strong for your family and friends, take care Les!
  20. Looking at the title? I've had a few and met a few more since swapping rands/sizes......
  21. Steve Cropper. 84. Epic guitarist and writer. Booker T and the MG'S, Otis Reading, Blues Brothers to name but a few, Thank you for your talent Sir. RIP.
  22. Awake early and it is quiet out, no rain or wind, no snow but no motorway noise! Of t'north today. Meeting folk who are owners and would never see me previously! Singer, Your.
  23. Fantastic news! Put the thick quilt on the bed and too hot so had a rough night. Thin quilt going back on tonight! Balmy day here. Lair, Monk, Herd.
  24. Had some heavy rain in the evening but not expecting any today. Got some quotes to organise and need some info from the Ufkes factory so at the desk for the most part. Be good y'all. Hon, Key, Dory.
  25. Awake far too early, head full of work stuff and cannot get back to sleep. Happy 1st of the month! Supposed to be some wet weather coming to cause misery today so be safe and come back to your families! Harris, Tiles.
