  1. Thanks guys for your messages and your PM's it's really appreciated! But all this palaver has made me realise that there are also a lot of good people out there offering chippers trucks etc.. Or just a bit of friendly support. Thanks :-)
  2. Turned up to site this morning to find that some little Toerag had decided to have a bash at my Unimog smashed two windows, slashed the tyres, smashed the dash and ignition, nicked the battery, nicked the snorkel and when they did this ripped a big hole in the wing, nicked bits of the front linkage. Nicked a load of pipe work (copper brake pipe) damaged the door. And lots more. Now the mog is going to be off the rd for a month or more and costing money as it not out working! Luckily my insurance company have been really good and been more than helpful. It just gets you down when people carry out this mindless vandalism and don't think about what impact this has on a small company!
