Another astra vote here, my 1.7 has averaged 46.11mpg over the last 4000+ miles that's everything from town and country driving to motorway.

Yes i am VAT registered.

 

I am suffering from practicality vs looking good vs just getting from A to B

 

Many a MG owner would argue that its not a rover its a MG, but i dont really care. To me it does look very much like a rover 75.

 

It handles brilliantly, goes stops and turns so well.

Yes its rwd and if you turn of the traction control you can have a blast! if u have a min youtube clarkson driving it on topgear.

 

cheers

Yeah seen that top gear. It's like the monaro, proper engine an rwd, love it.

Ooh I always fancied one of them rovers, there rwd aren't they? What they like to drive?

Do a search for Israeli army women, very pleasing to the eye though wouldn't want to have an argument with one!

Nice one cheers mate.

Haha cheers for the sponsor Andy. I'll see how the training goes with regards to ppe

Thanks guys very much appreciated.

Haha it's a bit late now... So do I! What area you from?

I might know a guy who can do a set of 8 and a plate for about 70 quid. He's in Manchester tho

I pay 350 with trust

I'm not sure that NFU now insure you or anyone to climb at all above a small height. Might be worth checking for future work.

Yep they have a height restriction, I tried last year and they said 5m I think!

Bit if a word of warning some Velcro straps have a ring that you double back on means you get them really tight, but the ones I've got at the moment don't they dong get as tight. If I was buying some I'd be sure to get the ring ones

actually i think not, i can see a few wires about! handy setup.

It'll lift 500 kg it's got a little 12v winch on it that lowers the hook, but you cant alter the arm while it's got a load on........yet!

Had rob in on a job today. He's a sound bloke and good worker.

Loving that mate, nice set up, I well want a defender but I do some serious miles a week so I can't til I'm more local all the time!!

I used to do 100 mile a day in it, used to have to fill up every day, used to get loads of morrisons points though!

That remind me saw a red 90 in suffolk 2 years ago with a chip box on the back and thought what's the point???? Tool box then a chipper on the back, then tow a trailer any body got 1 or thinking the same and got any pictures.

There's was one at the apf the other year. Chipper and small chip box on back of a 90

Here's my current setup.

Thing is you either get a tow along and a tipper or something like my set up. As I didn't want the costs etc of another vehicle I did it this way. Plus you can carry more legally than a transit. Not sure I'd have this set up if I worked for myself fulltime as it can be a pain having 4" plus pieces that can't be chipped.

It's going out tomos so I'll get a pic of the new set up.

The Jo beau is about 120-150kg think it'll do about 3". I've got a little crane on the trailer now to lift it on and off. Yeah just use some ply sheets, wouldn't mind the mesh but it's not cheap.

Here's a pic of my old trailer it was 12' but got the 14' now and leave a space at the front of the trailer for the chipper.

Used to drive the 90 as everyday vehicle until recently, came in handy more than once.

A run a v8 90 and a 14' ifor when I'm doin my own jobs, have a Jo beau, chip onto the trailer then put the Jo on too.

Is it me or have they got there units the wrong way round?? 328 feet and100m
