  1. I think that’s unnecessarily harsh Pete. Justin and co. were also the best place in the SE of England to go to when it came to fixing kit. They weren’t some internet generated muppets. They were the first supplier to truly embrace the internet culture. I support my local dealers whenever I can, but when Justin could sell me a 660 for £660 all in, and my local Stihl ‘dealer’ were quoting £900 + VAT I decided on who was taking the piss.
  2. I’m offering Black Friday deals on my treework until the end of the year though. 20% up front gets you a 10% discount on the remaining 90%. Everyone loves a deal, right?
  3. Sadly true mind Dan!
  4. Just be careful mate, Ryanair will sting him for checking in 2 8x4 sheets of ply.
  5. Tell them they can have it over Christmas Mick.
  6. @Joe Newton?
  7. What’s the saying? Idiots buying shite they don’t need, with money they don’t have, to impress people they don’t like.
  8. Komet Butterfly 2 Harness - Landpower Machinery WWW.LANDPOWERUK.COM Komet Butterfly 2 Harness – 1011702 Light and ergonomic, the Butterfly II positioning belt has been designed...
  9. Mirrors are for pussies.
  10. Klou tine rake. £550 + VAT
  11. Brilliant, well done them. It’s hideous isn’t it?
  12. It was probably the Arabs.
  13. @Doug Tait, just pinched this off FB. Going through Hawick. That’s some blade!
  14. I’ve given up on them all now Will. It’s quicker for me just to accept the fact that I’ll f-up the measurements anyway and just go and buy more materials.
  15. I have a 12 inch penis. But I don’t use it as a rule.
  16. This is what happens when red wine isn’t involved.

    I totally agree with your take on the engine size issue. This planet-saving titchy engine bollocks isn’t going to work if the vehicle is written off after 10 years is it? Then you’ve got to manufacture a new one. That’s not very carbon friendly is it? Plenty of old 3l donks will still be chugging away doing the business after 30 years.
  19. Probably very true! Tbf, I don’t mind targeted sales like that when I have a genuine interest. I have no idea why all these big cock tablet salesman keep calling me though.
  20. The Klou rep rang me this evening. Kind of out the blue, he was just cold calling basically. Asked if I was interested in sweepers, which I’m not really, but then mentioned rakes just like Mick’s above, with tines. Apparently just about to launch. No headstock, just pick up with grab and go. Sounds a dream, it will probably cost too much, but Klou make quality kit, we’ll see. Watch this space.
  21. Having a cook up on Saturday on a batch my big twin and her mates picked up a few weeks back. I’ll get pics if I can.
  22. You’d probably get a game at the minute.
  23. It would also be worth contacting Natural England and asking about volunteering. They do plenty of woodland work down here in Kent.

    @Stephen Blair and @John Shutler have both run D-Max’s, so may be able to help out.
