    leaks? my three dont leak, apart from water getting in but thats me either leaving windows open or missing glass.. funny how all my old jap pickups only stopped leaking when all the oil had run out..

    always thought grafting could be a way to let the mischievous inner beast have its fun, for example whilst pruning a tree you could pop a graft somewhere in the crown to have a branch flowering/fruiting differently to the rest.. maybe a weeping ash graft onto a tall skinny ash? i have no idea exactly how its done but one day i will. :aetsch:muahaha.. did hear ages ago the most different grafts on one tree is over 100.!

    they all get stomped by me, dont care if i have bare feet, they arent going to get away to scare me ever again.. or if they are on the wall i use the womans trainers (haix are too awkward) and leave them stuck to the wall to ward off evil comer-in spiders..

    of course we would.. but only with a full load on board, them hi-caps float for fun if they aren't weighted down:thumbup: chris that's the seesaw at robinhoods bay isnt it? thats a fun site, saw a S3 roll down the quarry followed by two new discos on road tyres dragging their sidesteps over the rocks..

    Hi dean, the 190 is the one with the same engine as the 150 but built not to a 750weight spec, mines 1050kg, unless you're talking about the 150?
  22. armchairarborist

  23. armchairarborist
    what rears springs does it have rob? standard or with helper coils inside the big ones? looks like the rear tyres are going to touch arches on full articulation.. (mine catch occasionally)looks awesome though:thumbup:
  24. armchairarborist
    mines got less than 350hrs on so fingers crossed.. or is it worth changing them before they go? i think the manual says something like change every 2yrs if its getting constant heavy use..
  25. armchairarborist
    and try not to get them dirty again.. could use a product of some description to pretreat them against stains, i couldn't possibly recommend anything but the idea's there for free..
