Large tropical hardwood beams; how to sell them...?
Mike Hill replied to nepia's topic in General chat
I dont know about the UK ,but if thats Lignum Vitae it would be worth huge money in Norway. A mate scored some heavy beams that had supported the engine in a wooden ship. He got over £5k for them.There were ¼ the volume you have. Go get them positively identified. -
How far do you travel,what will you be towing? Are you handy with spanner's,do you have a trusted mechanic who can do the work for you at very short notice? Mogs are great when only a Mog will do the job. They are half tractor and half truck,like any compromise they are not perfect. Cheap mogs can become astronomically expensive very very fast. Especially if they are your only unit and you have to hire something while its getting repaired. I do all my own repairs and have other wagons to fall back on if needed. Go find someone who has what you want and take a ride in it.

Eh?

Well you should get yourself over there and give ICE the benefit of your experiance. While you are there tell the officer that if she had run him over,there would have been no point shooting her since the assualt had already occured after all he should have let her go and ( hopefully not) run over someone else. Shut your PC Mick,tip out the wine. Go for a walk,touch some grass.

It looked like the woman had been instructed to stop several times,she must have heard the officers as her window was down. One officer in front if the car fired when she drove towards him and once as she passed her. She had been beligerent/ obstructive for a good while beforhand,as usual we see the videos that fit the narative. Its a different world over there and this is a tradgedy for everyone involved.

This is my Smith & Wesson " trippel lock" revolver in 45Acp. It was bought in 1915 by the British Government to replace losses on the western front. Only 5000 were purchased and not many remain. It was originally chambered in 455 Webley but someone has shaved the cylinder so it takes 45acp in moon clips. This revolver bears no commercial British proof marks so probably was dropped to the Norwegian resistance during the war,SOE dropped alot of non standard stuff early on.However you never really know,it could have been captured from the British Expeditionsry force over here or someone could have swapped it for a blowjob... Its a hello of a nice gun and its fun to think how it ended up here.

So if you aleady have the money and the time to go and see it,then why havn't you already found an exporter? Its seriously the easiest part. I exported two trucks,four chippers,a bulldozer a crane fed chipper and the trickiest part has been domestic haulage. As for most people having a paper trail,mate that might be the case with show trucks but anything else the receipts ( if any) get biffed with the Micky Dee's wrappers or was when I lived there.I guess you know your way around American wagons pretty well,I only have had 6 I dont know what you have been told about SA but if there is any way they can rob/ scam you they will be all over it. Just be very careful,go through a reputable firm and realise there wont be any garantees after its left the lot. All the best,I look forward to seeing pictures of your dream truck.

I would never import a truck I had not personally inspected,especially one from the third world. Fords rust like mad,so pretty much every old truck east of California would have experianced alot of road salt. On top of that some car's are rust repaired poorly,then registered in Cali then sold as a California car. Norway has a strong Amcar culture,after nearly 20 years here I have heard some horror stories and seen pictures of piles of body filler on the floor of a carwash after the first time matey washed his Mustang.The states dont have an MOT system so there is no repair standard and South Africa? I could probably get a box of corn flakes road registered in a day.

America in reality already controls Greenland. Denmark just has it as a teritory in reality. The UK and America store alot of tactical Nukes there,Denmark cant provide any defence capacity at all in reality and dosnt need to because of the Yanks and Brits as far as I know. My ex lived there when she was doing her masters.

My Grandad fixed aircraft in the Battle of Britain,he volunteer from NZ and paid his own fare. I have to apply for a E-visa in order to visit the country he paid to fight for.

My Sea Pattern Brown Bess. This was given to the Swedes amongst thousands of others back in the 1800s by the British when the Russians were getting sporty.

Or we have simply entered a new age of " gunboat diplomacy" . I.e. The little dog gives the big dog fleas,what should the big dog do?

Reading your post has made me depressed.

"Pretty tight" considerable understatement. I remember when the gearbox blew on Hammersmith roundabout blocking two lanes day before a bank holiday. We had lost second gear weeks before but fatty insisted it was just a worn selector fork

Yet Angela Merkel maintains that her policy was a success and regrets nothing. Blinding ignorance seems to be a strong theme amongst leftist politicians. None of whom are effected by their policy failures,they leave their positions to hop upon the gravey train as consultants elsewhere.

Years ago my ex-wife worked for the Norwegian government as a hygene inspector for resturants and anywhere that served food. Every now and again they would " raid" all the kebab shops in Bergen at the same exact time,Police,tax inspectors and immigration staff involved. Normally they would find evidence of meat smuggled in from Sweden,ileagle workers,cash etc. One time her co-workers found a chest freezer full of folding stocked AK's .

That does seem to be a strong Labour traight, Helen Clark and her manic world veiw steered Jacinda Arden's foreign policy.

Yup Tony Blair never did any time, all the while knowing WMD's were a hoax.
