  1. Do a tobacco run to france, buy your alowance and sell it on over here.
  2. Blowing here but no more than we've had previously. Would be greatfull for any extra work as ive just had a £1000 repair bill for my van
  3. Shhh When will you be offering the 201t for sale Justin?
  4. Pick up the local paper, and look what people are selling in the back. Theres always bargins to be had. Buy it and put it on ebay, always aim to double your money Will have to buy a few things but it will work, if you know what to look for. Buying and selling is always the easiest way to make money i find. Just gotta keep your eyes peeled for a bargin
  5. Buy and sell on ebay. May take 2weeks though by the time you've gone through paypal.
  6. I think tommer uses used vedge oil with great sucess on his saws.
  7. Use your 2/3k to secure finance against a new 125timberwolf. We have one at work, its great, twin feed rollers and it dosnt cost anymore to run than a diesel tbh. Because it was bought new it came with 2years free warrenty, so thats 2years trouble free ownership in theory...
  8. I just use the stihl saftey glasses, they dont fog but scratch up after a while, just replace them when they bad. My boss uses his oakleys, not officially saftey glasses but they dont scratch! I cant bring myself to use mine whilst working though lol
  9. I just edited my post to include electrical tape then saw you had said it to. Not just me on that one then
  10. Struggling to see how you managed to do that whilst cutting and holding? Take it your not good with blood if you nearly passed out? lol I never use a silky, 020 all the way, strangley i think there safer. Should of plastered it up and carried on Ive used electrical tape to tape up cuts before, proper sticky stuff.
  11. Pass your rope through the cambium saver without a knot, then just tie your knot. Then on retriveal just take your bowline out and put a granny knot in or use one of those toggle things on your rope to retrieve it.
  12. Did mine, tweaked fuel pump to. Boy she was fast, for a 200tdi anyway! Could of done with a bigger intercooler though as she went bang in the end, oops lol
  13. Exactly, if its in a school turn it into an educational thing! You could even do a talk on it Rob, might be good for buisness.
  14. My mum went Jon, said it was good! Traffics a nightmare though.
  15. Affraid i dont like that much either rob, would look better if the chip box only came up to the top of your sign as a maximum height. Shoveling is a PITA and slows up the day if your having to do a few trips in a day with chip. Like i said in a previous thread, if you cant afford a tipper truck then sell your car and use the truck as sole vechle until you can afford another car or whatever...
  16. I made sure there was a cheeky smiley at the end of that post. Didnt want people thinking i was being serious or anything!
  17. Could be a number of reason why this happened, like those mentioned in previous posts. Anyway, should have put them through the chipper, get rid of the evidence!
  18. eVan for me. Were cheapest by a long way. Been with them 2 years now.
  19. Hi all, JON here is the pictures for you, all the best TOM
  20. Ive got one i may be willing to part with Jon
  21. I think its his dads. Yh it will over load, but with the tail gate being so low compared to the high sides, your never going to fill it to the top with chip anyway, not even half full id imagine...
