  1. i recon with all the bits, axles, suspension (i want a fast tow) swivel hitch metal and tyres it will still cost about £600 to build my own, but im quite specific as to what i want, tandem swinging axles, fast tow, under 750kg so i think i have tracked down all the bits i need

  6. Matty have you had a bad relationship with a landscaper in the past that has left you very bitter? do you need to tell the group, let it all out i have just bought myself an argos hedge cutter (dont ask) might go and do some renegade landscaping work
  7. that looks cool, i have been meaning to knock a seat up for a bit now but just not got round to it, might have to do one tomorrow, especially as i have cleared some nice oak today that will just go for logs otherwise

  11. i had a giant wood wasp come out a privet hedge i was cutting today scared the hell out of me, nearly fell of my ladder, it was huge and making a lot of noise, i couldnt decide if it was a hornet to start with so took evasive action with the rake and got it pinned down, so i could see it better, fantastic little beastie
  12. we just have an old stainless milk tank with two pallets as a raised floor, will hold 110% of the contents easily and can be drained easily through the bottom plug, and its locked in a shed, it meets the requirements of various farm assurance schemes which are pretty tight normally the only dedicated stores i have seen have been small shipping containers with false floors, roof vents to prevent build up of gases especially if storing fuels in it

  21. probably the best bet would be a garmin gps 12xl, you create a non linear track log then use the calc area function,
  22. D reg peugeot 205 1.1l which within 6months had cooked the engine due to a 10p o ring failing, engine repair cost more than the car was worth but had the head skimmed, carb fettled with and it was a beast, could smoke my mums rover 216gsi easily but didnt have the street cred i needed, so progressed to a peugeot 106xs special edition job, it had a 1.4l 8v engine, low geared box, and i fitted pipercross induction kit, which made it sound like an f1 car, it weighed the grand total of 690kg and was the fastest accelerating car i have ever owned, i crashed it into a tractor head on, on a slippy back road, but just got it sorted and loved it, i want another one. It would eat my mk3 golf gti for breakfast, less said about the golf the better,
  23. i bought my 084 from canada and paid considerably less than £400 but that said it will probably make silly moeny as all the big saws seem to be now, its listed power is a good deal more than the 084/880 though and only just lower than a 090,
  24. i recon about 9150
  25. does it include internet spiders?
