  1. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MeiwLLZjDo&NR=1&feature=fvwp]YouTube - Damien Walters Showreel 2009[/ame] Amazing!
  2. I am no good at haggling..but since its going to cost me 21,000 i suppose i better.
  3. Its an extra £1000 if you want 150bhp. Just wandering if its worth it...will i really need an extra 25 bhp for £1000?
  4. I am in the midst of buying a 3.5 ton . med wheel base canter Fuso. I don't know what BHP the get . either the 125 or 150? Anyone know whats best?
  5. Looking into getting a canter myself. 3.5t Though. Dam expensive new..but i reckon there worth it.
  6. thanks or all the replys. I phoned mercedes yesterday and the going to give me quote for medium wheel base with single cab with tool box on back and chip box fitted. Going to be expensive...but i want a van that won't break down all the time. That looks good fo costumers and i can spend money on sign writing it. My Ldv cost me just under £4000 when i got it about 18 months ago. in that time it has cost me about £3500 with all repairs added up! that means £7500. anyone want to buy and LDV for £1200. 60,000 on clock . and full service history?
  7. looking to get one within the next 2weeks (3.5t) Does anyone here have one or have owned one in past? would like to know the Plus and negatives? Thanks, M
  8. how long is a piece of string?
  9. ha, Thats the most ridicilous invention ever! Its like one of those stupid inventions that some numpty takes on Dragonsden..and dragons have a look of disbelief ..thinking...WTF!
  10. I come on here lookingfor a sensible answer mate
  11. yeah i don't do much site clearance work. i do get big jobs but can handle with van and chipper. Mog is out of my league just now
  12. thanks . buying new moter is expensive and i don't want same problems i had with LDV Was looking at the new 4x4 daily. but at 30,000 its just a dream. pro end up going for transit.
  13. Had my ldv for about 18 months now. and every single month you can be sure you will have to repair something. bought it for 3,200 and spent far more than that or repairs. Anyways after it gets out garage i am going to sell get rid of it. I have between 12,000 and 16,000 budget for new van. Any reccomendations? transit? Daily? thanks
  14. I am based i Glasgow. that any use?
  15. the prob is that lots of compnays have unimogs and stuff on finance..and need to make there high monthly bills. I look to make couple hundred a day ..sometimes i make 100. sometimes i make a loss. ..but if you got the work why price to get it..price what you think its worth to you.
  16. Yeah thats what i am after if all goes to plan. if i price a job and the expensies are 2000. then i want to make just under 4000. we ain't cutting grass! tree work is skillfull.
  17. Something i struggle with is pricing. Ok For example if your expensies for a job are 200 for a day..then you are not going to be after 100 profit. around 350 profit is better i thinks! If you your expensies for big 3 day job are going to be 3000...then you are going to be wanting more profit than usuall. prob around .2000. I price day all small one day jobs on day rate, but bigger ones where i have to empty my account and wait 2 months for payment...i want to make it worthwhile. Is this the correct way to price? does anyone have a pricing system they use?
  18. cheers mate. yeah don't you love paperwork.
  19. anyone got some i can copy? virus has knacked laptop and can't seem to find my own.
  20. I have had mine for 2 years. crewcab tipper. Convoy. bought it for 3500. Has had couple probs with it...but it has done me well. Doesn't tow much and really back aching seats.... but its a little workhorse and has a Great tipper on it.
  21. used to work with a tree surgeon. His quote for pruning was ...'If its in your way cut it off ' :ohmy: Sure wasn't the best best arborist i have ever worked with.
  22. I was busy for a while..now nothing at all . just making my weekly minimum at present. ( though i do have low overheads ) Going to start praying for storms this winter. :001_smile:
  23. lucky! I would have put a bigger mouth on it .... more control in direction of fell.
