    Bike

    So you think you can ride a bike,
  2. Not worth much if anything at all, most beams need to be a good length and cut to fit, you don't get many homes using them now only the odd barn conversion, put them on ebay you never know
  3. Gray got, they don't sound to bad, keep us posted and well done with conversion, tops.
  4. The original production line for RB44 / Dodge 50 was moved to China when they closed the plant at Dunstable. They still make the Mark 2 model in china. One of the guys on the Dodge 50 forum is try to find out more but it may mean there will be new spare available which may encourage a few more buyers, which will be hopefully be transformed into Arb trucks. Will update on here as I find out more.
  5. I watched this and they had one truck pulling , two pushing and two spares, every truck was working hard to keep the thing moving. When it got the hill out side a village called Chilton on the way to Newbury, they were down to about 1 may be 2 mph. Ten miles of traffic behind it. Can't wait till they have finished stripping out because then we get the to see the power station being demolished, booooom

    what 4x4

    Single cabs are expensive even second hand, Mazda / ford ( same truck different badge) are the best, but 4 wheel drive work will wear quickly if used a lot, Toyota, good but the most expensive of the lot and most have starship mileage.
  7. Start on the outer edges and work in to the Center, works for me, get tough with it
  8. Sorry to hear, hope you get it all back in one piece. Last Saturday I was under orders from the wife to go shopping for a few bits !!!!!! Whilst parking up I noticed a nice 90 landy. Hundreds of shoppers about, come back to the car and there are the coppers talking to the owner the landy had been nicked. Just not know how they can do such a devious act.
  9. It don't make sense to cut down 20 acres of woodland to feed a boiler, I would look for other sources there's plenty around if you do some research. As previously stated I would consider contacting local tree surgeons to see if they would be willing to give you for free. Storage and fire, unlikely with a bit of care
  10. Depends if he feels his being pick on, some are more sensitive than others, lost a good worker this way myself.
  11. There is no such thing " as can you just" in my book, it does my bonce in when customers expect extras. I never refuse but even small things are costed and billed for, on the up side have never had any complaints
  12. Hi. A company called Logs for All may wanted it, their based in Garford which is only a few miles away, telephone number is 0845 269 0306.
  13. If you don't charge the going rate and it break who pays for repairs! You. If he won't pay £250 try and get as close as possible to it
  14. T and C's required to cover your back, you could try you might be lucky.
  15. Gray grit, hows the truck going, no brake issues, have you tried to get any spares or does the dealer who sold it to stock spare parts! I love these trucks and aim to get one to build my next house ( I need a toy really ), give use your thoughts, any negatives.
