  1. Thanks mate, that's who I talked to in the winter. Prices were good. The lack of bed space has killed it for me, although I would definately consider one as a second vehicle at some point.
  2. Great find David, really enjoyed that. He is pretty damn cool, isn't he?
  3. Can't make this one unfortunately, but can vouch for this being a decent company to work for.
  4. Too much power for me mate.
  5. Talk about funstoppers though!
  6. Looks a lot of bike for the money! The weight is important to me when I am carrying round with punctures!
  7. Welcome back mate. Brave man doing a second stretch!
  8. Thanks Dave. The back capacity is the bother, because I would run it as my only vehicle. Regularly leave site with 5m3 or so in the Tranny. More if we have been drinking and taking drugs.
  9. The tipper version is much more of a work vehicle Tom. Less bells and whistles. Having said that, all the lads round here who have the standard doublecab have the old shape, not the gay new curvy one.
  10. What's the capacity like Dave? And where are the tool lockers?
  11. Towergate £885:thumbdown: Cornish Mutual wouldn't insure me because I am not an existing policy holder. Liverpool Victoria refused to quote 'because the vehicle is too high performance'! WTF? I might jack the trees and start my own insurance company. Can anyone recommend anywhere where I can get a lobotomy before I sort out my business plan?
  12. Back in the depths of the winter when my Transit couldn't go out in the snow I started looking at these. Supercab would mean all the saws and kit could be locked away on the back seats, and the legal weight capacity was the same as the Tranny. The small volume of the back put me off a bit. Anyone got any experience with them?
  13. Do it Les. Have an 880 running in the middle with the throttle tied down.
  14. Does anyone know any porn stars? Or worked for any? It's Friday night, let's hear your porn stories!
  15. We hoyed eggs and flour bombs and signed each others shirts and ties.
  16. Good call Rupe. I'm bikeless and semi-skint at the minute, and can get a Decathlon Rockrider (entry level hardtail) for about £300. I'm tempted. Anyone know anything about them? Purely for light rec on mainly woodland trails and suchlike, no hardcore stuff. It's not worth me spending much more, because I am crap on a bike.
  17. Own up, you were banned, weren't you?
  18. I hear ya Martyn. I overtrained for years. There's a similar Northumbrian saying - 'To be able to press a lot, you need to be able to press a lot'.
  19. I'd put a paper bag full of fresh dog crap on the neighbours doorstep, set alight to it, ring the bell and run. The sight of him stamping the flames out and getting dog mess all over his slippers will make up for your hassle. What a total and utter cock. Glad you got the money.
  20. I for one would viciously abuse the system to line my own pockets. By the time they caught up with me Kent would be a deforested dustbowl and I would be living on a big yacht.
  21. You lot are mental. What's wrong with playing video games and watching soaps?
