What vehicle and gear did you start off with?
Sam Thompson replied to button1803's topic in General chat
Completely off topic, but "Play up! play up! and play the game". What a piece of writing. -
White... ze flag of surrender! (All banter dear Frenchies )

Definitely visiting soon!

Only because it's the same colour as their flag...

Just thought I would share my latest bit of kit. I've started using a dictaphone more and more now - easy to carry round, used in all weathers and withought having to lean on something. Then you just type up when you get into the office and bobs your uncle. I struggle making sense of the notes I take while out on site sometimes, so it makes that kind of thing 10 times easier as you can speak quickly and still know what you mean. If you're not hugely literal then I think it would be a big help quoting jobs etc.

Go Gransfors or go home

Not strictly tree related but countryside related

Fantastic stuff mate. Should be more teams like that around the country! -
Where's this mate? I'm over in Bangor quite soon, looks well worth a visit! Sam

Are you high? Not my thing but could look cool I suppose. I'd go 200tdi if it were me - it's the most bombproof of the lot according to those in the know, plus you can still work on it yourself. I think that's what I'll drop in mine. I'd also paint it Alpine white and black chequer plate the wings, sills and corners

Stevie, can all mogs take a plough etc? My Dad loves them as an agric engineer, used to say that they are worth 3 tractors, but if everyone had them there would be three times less mechanics! He's always wanted one, and I fancy one too, in orange.

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/members-only/42378-public-apology.html Apology above, there isn't much else to say from me I don't think, other than I Have PM'd Chaffey regarding him collecting it from me. And once again, sorry.

Once I buy a winch, up until then it's in the shed

To be honest I don't know yet mate, not great money wise until the summer and I can start working again It'll probably not be a Warn though, they cost a bomb!

Second the above, my family is into rowing so we follow it quite closely, the bloke was just a pillock with a chip on his shoulder.

Fantastic idea, though not much use to me!

Haven't you got Christmas tree's to plant or something?!

:lol: Sit on the roof you dirty minded so and so!

Copying Andrew T's idea. Would anyone be interested in communal transport down to the APF and/or Justin's? Either in car or minibus if there is enough people interested.
-
Mogs are ace, no doubt. But if I had only one truck, gotta be a Lannie D. I bet the DC10000 will go down really well in the dogging scene
-
I suppose. A mog is still only useful for certain things, a landie is the ultimate multi tasker.

Today was the first part of fitting a sound system. Bought some genuine land rover speakers from ebay and fitted them in a custom made () housing in the back, I hate cutting holes in dash boards/headlinings, plus one of the in-windscreen aerials - just waiting for the head unit to turn up now and we are cooking on gas.
-
You can't compare a Mog to a landie any more than a tank to a shotgun. Horses for courses.
