  1. I always carry two three piece screens and always use at least one as I learned the expensive way. That was with just a 360sw
  2. Looks very impressive Mick - I’d just be very worried about not having screens around the worksite having taken out a customers double glazed window myself a few years ago. Didn’t think I needed to move the guard along a few feet and was wrong. That was only just short of where your Transit is parked. Will be interested to hear how it performs long term and reliability wise. Considering one of these or similar sized FSI once I’m fully recovered from my heart problems
  3. Welcome back - will be interesting to read your findings
  4. Where tf did I say that? You are assuming a lot there!!!
  5. Wherever he was born he needs dealing with appropriately- if he’s home grown scum or immigrant. Once this info is released then we will know either way
  6. Preventable - of course. Just consider if Axel Rudakabanas parents hadn’t been allowed in 20 odd years ago, those three little girls in Stockport would still be alive. As has been said many times, we have enough of our own home grown scum to deal with, without importing more by the thousands every month. How frequent do these attacks have to be before action is taken?
  7. Agree with you - the advantage of the 40 over the 26 is mainly the inclusion of an oil tank. mine hasn’t seen much use yet - had it a few months but normally grab the 161t out of habit
  8. I use my Henry to hoover up in the workshop
  9. The gta40 is better than the 26. Depends entirely on what kind of work you’re doing? I use battery 90% of the time but wouldn’t be without petrol saws for the bigger stuff/dismantles
  10. Wetherspoons- 1.79 a pint of ruddles which I would drink out of choice anyway. Range of bitters up to around 3.00 I think. Basic lager is also cheap. But that involves a bus into town and mixing with a wide cross section of society (that’s me being pc!)
  11. Essex - In my local of town pub my usual bitter is 4.20 but weekly guest ales range up to 5.50 for sub 5% and up to 6.50 for stronger/specials. I believe lagers are all 5-6 a pint
  12. I’ve seen the video of him in our local high street asking for directions to the train station - unbelievable 😡
  13. This was done in 2009 and it was a 1999 model originally fitted with all steel body and tail lift. I cut the body off right down to the tipper body rails and fitted an all ally back from a transit onto it. Fabricated all the mountings etc, then the towbar. Found some old pics the missus took while I was doing it - none of the completed article though. I remember the diagonals I put in were really heavy angle iron, and every bit was seam welded
  14. I did my research and this particular model, the Iveco dealer reckoned there was no way that an off the shelf towbar could be fitted - something about the anti roll bar being in the wrong place. If I wasn’t confident in my welding then I wouldn’t have made it. I accept your point though
  15. I fabricated one from box and angle onto a Daily chassis - had it checked by an ag fitter and he said it was so over engineered and strong it would pull a house over. Not sure if it’s part of the mot test?
