hi mate, I think you should go for it! it's the right spec for your speakers and you will be able to add two more speakers if needed. put one onto each channel, don't let it hit the clip lights (basically red line) , and sit back and smile
that's quite cheap and warrior is a good budget make so you can't go wrong!

i use ocean poly, only because it came in the hitchclimber kit that honeybros had a special on a while back. haven't really tried anything else tbh, apart from the sirus on my second short rope, which performs much the same as the ocean.

i just shove everything in my stein hold all, when it gets a little bit wet/damp i hang the harness and rope out overnight. loving the new gear, mate.

nice! the lenses are for life, though, unlike the camera body which is likely to be replaced at some point (unless you change makes of course). we're canon lovers canon vs nikon is like the stihl vs husky of the photography world!

Do you have a <18mm lens for the wide angle shots or just a screw on adaptor? My GF needs one but if she can get away with a cheap adaptor it would be handy as she is skint

You can drive a transit full of chip (under the max load) and a trailer/chipper under 750kg on a normal licence. to tow a larger trailer or chipper, all you need is the trailer test ontop of your normal licence. I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Just wondering what your speeds are according to Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test I'm quite excited as I've moved into a new house and mine has gone up by nearly ten times (after completing the test, click copy forum link then paste into the reply)

please buy/have our old entec! it's so **** lol! keep saying to the boss to buy a new TW on finance - works out at just £25 a day for two years (with TW's 0% finance)! it would be rude not to!
-
Or do as i did (don't) - go to the pumps, fill up, then pretend not to have any cash..... They once took my skateboard as a deposit and when i went back to pay up, they had already sold the skateboard for £10 to cover the fuel debt! bastards!
-
beer and chainsaws, what a combo lol looks good - wish i had a van when i first drove, would of saved a bad back most weekends from sleeping on the front seat!

Big respect to him... "Corporal Harrison, a married father-of-one from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, killed 12 more rebels and wounded seven others. During an extraordinary six-month tour of duty he also survived a bullet that went though his helmet and a roadside bomb."

I love their bird song, it sounds like 4 different birds all in one!
-
I'd like to share my favourite song of all time. It sends shivers through my skin hearing Jimmy Page's guitar wailing. So much raw emotion in this - what a solo aswell Turn it up, close your eyes and get sucked in [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkjv9SscotY]YouTube - Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin[/ame]

they look really cool! i would love a smaller rope, but my hands are too girly for 11mm submitted some very manly names
-
VT/Hitchclimber 13mm rope and 8mm friction cord works so well and so much faster/easier than a prussik! in the dry it grips 100% of the time after tending the slack, in the wet you have to give it a bit of encouragement.

oh yeah, forgot to say we got one landy stuck on the nice lawn between the house and lake, and in the process of towing it out with the other landy, churned it all up he wasn't very pleased

We (me and SWB on here) did all the tree work at hedingham castle from september to october last year. will watch the episode later on 4od... the owner and his wife are very posh - they would always say 'yah' instead of 'yes' the gardener from eastern europe had his fingers sliced off by a circular saw last year, i think trying to cut some of the logs we cut i think he got a quick pay out from the castle owner and went back to his country!

Bit of harrowing from today
-
a splice will go through (almost) any crotch when retrieving, but the only way to get a bowline etc through most crotches, is to untie and then retie... i for one would never have the patience for that, plus you can't really use a knot with hitchclimber + vt.

Tomtom One XL is the one to go for - simple but it tells you where to go and that's what you want from a sat nav, yes? easy to navigate through menu's, clear maps, big screen and cheap.

you missed a bit sorry, kidding.... looking good as per usual
-
had a 10m marlow for fruit trees etc, but it's now a 4m marlow after putting my silky through half of it

no birds today! woohoo!
