  1. have been told the old ones are the better built ones....... just try before you buy. i flew over to ireland to try mine and mike large picked me up from the airport, took me onsite to meet the lads working felling trees, took out for lunch, shown round the yard, tried several machines and dropped back to airport. nice day out and bought a machine off him a few months later.......but it did have problems and have been very well looked after. we have not been without issues though with the machine but it does get fixed and runs well mine is a 42greenspeed
  2. :congrats: i thought it was just me!!! i sell 1m3 for £70 would like to get £80 should be £100 imo
  3. do you weigh that then?????:sneaky2:
  4. so what you sell it as is ""a single cab pick up"" what you should really do is measure the volume of the load area and sell it as ""a single cab pickup with a volume of ???""
  5. thats cheaper than i got them for
  6. as long as we are keeping you busy steve, then thats ok

  12. personally, cant see the difference in imax 3D and normal 3D to be honest i thought normal 3D was better..............cant go to cinema and watch 2D anymore........it would be like drinking asda cola and not the real thing
  13. its got to be 3D on the big screen...tv just wont cut it story line reminds me of Fern Gully, if anyone has seen that animated film
  14. took my 10 yr old on xmas eve to the IMAX 3D viewing, he was desperate for the toilet half way through and refused to go, he held on to the end and made it to the toilet, when i asked him what he thought of it his answer was the same as hucks.........best film i've ever seen and yes there is something strangely attractive about the alien girl:thumbup:
  15. keep his number on your phone for when he rings back....and he will, usually the following year when he thinks you have forgotten. this is the one single reason that would push me into taking card payments before delivery, just so i could charge for cancellations
  16. yes it can.......................but my sarcasm made me feel soo much better:thumbup: and she didnt get logs for xmas. her politeness would cost nothing!!!!!!!
