  1. That truck is the guv'nor mate ! Signwriting is tops too ! bet that gets the phone ringing...its great when theyt start with " I saw your truck....." :wave:
  2. Well, I got a little U900, so it'll go most places ! I dont do much domestic stuff really. I Got a little Mitsubishi Canter tipper for that, its a good un too ! Your main benefits with Mog are PTO's, pulling ability and lack of restrictions !
  3. You know its crap when they start with " hello sir...how are you today "....I answer with "get a proper job mate "
  4. Get a Unimog and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it ! Mine has got me enough work to pay for itself witin 6 months, it pulls like #@*k and .........its a joy to drive, cheap to run (ish) and helps justify higher prices !....well,thats my excuse !
  5. It was a off the cuff buy which I'm prone to ! I used it a few times but not enough to warrant the expense ! This guy saw it and made me an offer I could'nt rufuse ! I find that signwriting things has a duel benefit - security and people ringing you to offer silly buy it now prices ! How much....I find it vulgar to talk money !!!
  6. She's very obidient, if she sees a squirrel or something there's no stopping her though ! Dogs have stronger characters and are harder to control. They're very intelligent and absouloutly fearless.
  7. Yeh I tried one of those ! good fun ! I recommend (as a qualified personal trainer) regularly climbing trees for all round general strength inc. the hands ! Thats why I started doing the job !
  8. They rang me the other day, i :thumbsdown:laughed at them...what a lame way at trying to extract money from people ! A fool is easily parted from his money !
  9. Shes 3 and a half ! puppy time !
  10. You got to make money guys ! The fact that you enjoy the work is great but Unimogs, tipper lorries, fuel, yards,insurance etc costs fortunes !When all your stuff is f*$#ed where will the money come from to replace it ? Id rather turn it in than sell myself short !
  11. I set it at that because its at the lower end of what all the firms here are charging ! Cambridge/Newmarket area !
  12. I charge £850 + VAT for 2 men and kit per day
  13. I sold to to a guy in Dorset !
  14. This is Molli, the border terrier ! These seem to be the official tree surgeons dog ! Right size to take to work and good temperament, love catching Fox's, rabbit, rats and squirrels ! She will be having pups May time this year......Steve gets first pick on here though, they're best mates !
  15. I think you need a licence for that ! And dont run it on red, either !
  16. Oh thats where it ended up eh ?
  17. Ive worked in the industry for a few years now and weed smokin' is rife, I'm sure you'll all agree ? I threw one guy off a job a couple of years ago for puffing at breakfast time ! Compulsory testing would cripple the industry I think ! Too many car drivers are stoned as it is - thats the place to test people - on the roads ! Im a pro' sporstman and we get testsed randomly, a few people fail each year, mainly for coke - weed stays in your system for about 30 days remember !!
  18. Yeh, I'll give it 6 months and steve will be lending money to bill gates and rarely leaving his mansion.....
  19. cheers steve, see you then all being well ! Remind Colin not to forget my glasses !
  20. you've got till tomorrow to remember then ! And im the one that gets punched in the head.... !!!

  22. Unimog U417 Mitsubishi Canter 3500 Tipper Gibbs 4.0 12" drum chipper
  23. Count me in gentlemen....:wave:
  24. Can you beleive that was almost 2 years ago !!!
