Got to be honest, the Iveco legally carries some 750kg. Go big. I'd even consider a proper truck that has been shortened so you can still fill up an Arb body but be within capacity. I once went into looking at the Ford EuroCargo sized 7.5 but halving the length!

Ova, The, Wurst Tom's struggle continues at Rocky Mountain Race Week, the car has a bust piston. Someone Hadham spare, second hand one that might be a match so he fitted it in the car park on his own then drove the 350 miles to the next strip!

Owe, Verse, Sear. Tom called from Tulsa. 1700 miles in his drag car and one plug goes bad too often so it is hurting! His right tight budget is busted after his credit card got cloned so he has run out of money. One of the organisers of Rocky Mountain Race Week has stepped in to pay for the fuel while others are feeding him. Top community spirit!

Looks nice out from here! Caz back from Malta later. Tom found that Napshack has expensive issues so may be back early as the cash needs to be raised. Eye, Key, Dough.

My family cut pit props in their mill back in the day, thousands of lorry loads through the 50's upto mid 70's but the Elm ran out and more steel shoring was used. The asked us to start cutting again before the strike but the timber was too expensive, transport too dear and labour costs had risen but their rates had barely moved. Half of the Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire pits were propped up with Barrowcliff props!
-
They left most of the engineering kit in the pits I was told, too expensive to get it out for scrap! Nice from were I'm looking, good enough for a walk along Stonebarrow this morning! Queue, Brute.
