i had pretty much the same happen to me-in newquay on a piss-up holiday, most of the other lads had gone back to the hostel earlier, was around 4am, but hadnt been drinking as was on a promise (diddnt want to suffer from brewers droop) couldnt find her, so i was on my own, got a kebab, walking up the hill to the hostel when i get a full can of beer lobbed at my head, turn round two younger lads there, one punches my gut, the other nicks my kebab. the one with the kebab starts to walk off, the other turns round and warns me (holding knife)not to tell the police as hes 'well ard' and his 'crew' would 'get me'. i look at him, realise hes half my size, so i properly layed into him big style-lots of blood, end up knocking him out, and breaking MY finger! some-one had rung the police, i get aressted, lucklly it was all captured on a hotels front porch cctv-told me it was obvious it was self defence

mitsubishi l200 (hope i have made the right decision)
josharb87 replied to powcaddy's topic in General chat
see, i had exactly the same problems-but vehicles were reversed! my mk3 hilux required so much work and parts, it was a true money pit, but my landy before that only hada new battery, otherwise it was faultless personal experience i guess -
nice pics burrell, where were they? where abouts are you? company?

really does depend what you want it for, for a true go-anywhere work horse a landy, to do more motorway miles, and spend a fortune in parts, then jap crap had landys and hilux, looking for a landy again, suits me better! -

(not bothered about self tending, just like to be able to pull through slack easily every time-mine occasionally gets tight) whats the best hitch cord to use? whats the best rope?

sounds like a good idea, aslong as you explain youd rather work for little than have nothing. reminds me of a van i saw the other day- sign written, very professional looking, in large letters "discount topping . . . lol

if you feel most comfortable with stihl as a manufacture, go for stihl-i, like you prefer stihl, probablly as used stihl 95% time, just like some people prefer huskys. i just dont feel as happy with anything else. reading between the lines, 441 sounds like the saw you want
