  1. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL4g67IFptI]YouTube - Road Train going flat-out over a river crossing - Western Australia[/ame] no idea why i thought of this..
  2. but thats one of the reasons he will probably get away with it.. the guys who pretend to be in charge don't really know what they are doing:thumbup:
  3. cheeky wench:001_tt2:, its hopefully having a tipper conversion this year, it was over an hour there and an hour back with.. hmm, shall we say a relaxed approach to the climbing, many cups of tea with biccies.
  4. yup thats it, i have a towball ready to go on the back of the ifor williams trailer, short trips only but if it looks right you might get away with it. just rely on the new breed of plastic cops not knowing the law.. just make sure its all safe (cables/lights etc), its too late to plead ignorance but maybe get them into a fuel prices debate while your groundy siphons their tank:thumbup:
  5. i'd be more bothered about having it look legal, run a seven pin lighting socket to the back of the trailer to plug chipper lights into, erm.. i mean no thats a bad idea and you will get caught and punished.
  6. yup, might even be room for all your other marked bits of wood if you fancy doing two deliveries?
  7. its only a single truckload this time haha, bout 9ish? can you get to the yard?
  8. thats the one Lee, you busy sat morning? got a small firewood delivery:lol: to trade for them bits of yew if yr up for it?
  9. yeah mine had 2t on it the other day and it sat down a tad, maybe i need heavy duty springs too?
  10. cool, a pic of me up a tree, send it to me please tom? rob sorry about the sandwiches..
  11. the inner helper springs are £15 each and the fittings kit is £80 so £110 and you can load the beast till its full:thumbup1:, it took me half an hour to do the fitting on mine
  12. thats a road plough of a towbar on the hilux, chuck in a bucket of chip and you're grounded and stuck.
  13. one from the other week, i worked as a nightshift security guard a few years ago and in summer i could sit and watch the sun come up undisturbed until nearly 9am every day, very relaxing, just time to think
  14. feeling useless eh? i felt that way recently when i couldn't climb due to overenthusiatic prussiking giving me a torn abdominal (gone and strained it today too).. that looks like you put the back cut in while still anchored to the piece.. probably a clever illusion eh?
  15. i saw a 90hicap project in a landy scrapyard in bradford a couple of years ago, it looked proper stupid haha
  16. round here we call it the 'wrong side of the hill'
  17. late model wolf
  18. some days i think the customer can't remember who we are as there can be a few trucks on site all with different arb signwriting on,
  19. hmm, just found this on ebay haha 1985 LANDROVER V8i RACE PREPARED, ROAD LEGAL, on eBay (end time 24-Jan-11 21:25:38 GMT) reserve of £1000
  20. ...women drivers, again in the nicest possible sense haha:001_tt2: i mean they do look hot behind the wheel of a large vehicle but its usually not for the best:thumbup:
  21. 1st rule of business.. The customer pays for everything
  22. english man, scotsman and an arabic man walking through the desert, a hot brunette woman runs up to them wearing only union jack bikini bottoms, 'aha' says the english man, 'the english flag, she's mine' and rips off her underwear, to his dismay she is wearing another bikini bottom underneath with the st andrews cross on the front, 'och aye' says the scotsman, 'tis the flag of bonnie scotland.. she's mine' and promply rips off the underwear, immediately the arabic man points excitedly 'see, tis the beard of allah, she's mine..'
  23. cool fell, loved the saw celebration at the end.. i usually edit mine out as they look scary:thumbup:
  24. once had a 2001 corsa:blushing:, and the carpet got a litre of fresh orange juice spilled and then forgotten under a coat for a month behind the passenger seat, pulled all (unfastened carefully) all the centre trim, belts, seats, airbag connections, side trim etc out till carpet came out easily, then a quick hot jetwash cleaned the carpet pretty good then refitted easy. if your van is leaking then its time for the hosepipe test while you sit inside looking for leaks getting in, or just put up with steamy windows all the time and get some wellies:thumbup:
  25. the crane splitter? no thats worse:blushing:
