  1. Landrovers are the best, most capable and smoothest towing 4x4s out there pretty much.(the landcruisers are phenomenal). They may not be the fastest tow motor, but they are very stable and capable...at least the 110 and 130 are . Cant comment on the 90s- i wouldnt ever have one as for me they are too small to be any use.
  2. I dunno Reg- devon has some mahoussive trees!!
  3. MIx what you like. I regularly have different brands of oil mixed with used veg oil aswell. Its oil. It lubricates the chain. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I have it on fairly good authority that most of the brands are re-badged castrol anyway!!
  4. Crikey Reg, really sorry to hear that. I am sure things will work out for the best. Time is, as they say, a great healer, and you obviously had a calling. I feel a bit weird about the comment i made now:blushing:
  5. All my saws and most of my kit lives in my van, parked right outside my dwelling, about 6 foot from the door. This is due to the astranomically high crime level perpetrated by the local transit site about 1/4 mile away, which about a year or two back became a local crime wave. If i put them oin my lock up every night they wouldnt be there in the morning.
  6. Although I cannot speak for the poster to whom you replied, but as you have mentioned wanting to hire out your machine, surely his post is highly relevant and constructive to your question? Are you after advice about the pros and cons of building a processor, or simple yes or no answers in the style of a poll as to the numbers who have got one? YOur thread title wasnt 'have you built one', but 'have you got one'.
  7. Just been watching this on grand designs. Impressive place!
  8. Well it depends how fat it is:001_rolleyes: 12mm is a touch thin, but this stuff is very cheap.
  9. The 130 double cab hi-cap butt isnt as big as the 110 hi-cap butt, and 130 truck cabs arent classed as the hi-cap (HCPU).
  10. Awesome Reg. The pic of the 200 is stunning. I take it you have absoloutely no regrets then......?
  11. sorry Rob, but i think you are a bit on the low side there too. I would have said 60-90/ cube without any pithiness of the wood.
  12. Sierra cosworth? An asian dude i knew up in the midlands had one of those.....he bored it out to 2.8 litre and Turbo Technics shoe-horned a turbo the size of a dustbin into it......it wasnt slow!!!
  13. Like Joe says TCD- total waste of time for your application. You would be spending all day tyeing knots in it where it breaks. Dyneema Bowrope is what it can be called i think BTW. Polyprop is what you want. Cheap as chips.
  14. NIce one TCD. Stuff the respray, get some of the old 1.9gti alloys instead, they were cool as a cool thing.
  15. yeah sounds like it. I heard that someone touched tha line in a MEWP and assumed it was a cutter. Sad news either way.
  16. I heard today that a UA cutter had lost his life this week working out of a MEWP. Does anybody know if this is the case? Condolences if so.
  17. I would have said a steam cleaner too. Not tried TFR, but may well do now!
  18. Bristle cone pines are pretty slow growing...........
  19. Dave angel......? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X01o7SsUU]Dave Angel: Eco Warrior - YouTube[/ame] Sorry....I couldnt resist.....
  20. ALl i can say is that you want to make sure that customs dont think you bought it abroad when you come back.
  21. Not a bad film at all. I am watching the effects of Virola Theiodora on the mind though......
