  1. Mate of mine had the Mazda for a short time . It got nicked ( or he had it nicked )
  2. Well I'm not too far from you AJ so yea .... its the same here bud .
  3. I always thought the rotary JPS Nortons ( Brian Crighton ) would have set a trend . They seemed to equate to about 600cc and were destroying the current 750cc bikes but it never happened .
  4. I think narrow tyre for slopey mud only if there is a hard base beneith the mud . If not then the wider the better as in floatation .
  5. 3 degrees tonight coming right back up to 10 or 11 tomorrow.
  6. If any one has the skill to steer this thread into something about fish we are off and running 😀
  7. To be fair what I can see in the picture would normally go strait in the chipper .
  8. When the crew come to tidy it up offer the boss a drink , and he might even drop it round to you .
  9. The corner of the telly is a bit close to the arm of the sofa ! 😀
  10. Its ok AJ , you can mention tools to avoid ! 🙂
  11. The story about marine 2t oil is the viscosity is different from " lawn mower " 2t because the out board motor runs cooler than say , a chain saw , as the out board motor is water cooled .
  12. I am pretty much exactly the same as you in this respect I have DeWalt kit that has been faultless for me . Its the very last of the Brush type motors and I was thinking of going all Milwaukee . I was told by a geezer " In the know " that there is Milwaukee and there is Milwaukee ! He said there is a range that they do for the " Screwfix " type market and the better version that you have to get from the Milwaukee site .
  13. So what ratio mix do you use , just curious as I would not use anything other than 50:1 .
  14. Just coz I have been curious and because the two main players seem to not be able to supply batteries , I bought a back handle 40v battery saw . Its a garden center/B+Q type of thing . Its called Yard Force . I got saw and 3x 40v batteries and charger for £180 . It has a 14" bar and narrow gauge chain , 'orrible tooless tensioner ( but it works ) and If you don't try and use it like a petrol saw it does cut surprisingly well . You have to let the saw do the work without leaning on it but you quickly find the sweat spot for max efficiency . The only thing I really don't like about it is the dead mans button . Instead of being where a conventional saw would be its on the side of the handle and you have to keep it pressed with the side of your thumb . I might wire it together so its always live .
  15. No you wally ! I thought I was replying to Doobin for some reason ! 😀
  16. Thanks for that I have always been a shit speller !
