Real sad loss...despite what people think he was an amazing talent and songwriter,gave millions of pounds to the NHS who looked after his mom before she died. Grew up with wham and his music...have't cried so much for ages.2016 has been such a bad year for bad things like this happening, and it's not over yet so don't hold your breath. -
Cheers for that....o and by the way have you caught that rat running around the bits of pizza and sandwiches on the floor of your truck yet. Happy new year.

This is my 2007 Wildtrak

Got 2 3.0 wildtraks...tipper conversion 2007 for work and a 2008 for best..both fab trucks...before I had rear camera fitted sometimes I had to stop to check if my chipper was still on the back.lol it pulls great and flies at 70mph with a 750kg Chipper on and a load of chip...dont know why anyone would want anything else.

Forget the rest ...get a ranger and for £5k you should get a decent one...have had nothing but rangers since 2001 nothing comes close...have I been lucky? May be but you can't beat them...avoid Mitsubishi and Nissan,Isuzu on and Toyota over priced. You need to try a few before you buy.

Ha sing one Fitted on the 19th...not going to even try doing it myself...got one of company of eBay..got the night vision one and fits were mirror is...and it's got the camera fitted into the number plate...can be used when only putting in reverse or on all the time...having it fitted by professionals to be on all the time and either wireless depending on reception but probably go for cable connection just to make sure of it working all the time.

Nice various work done there josh...I would have had to remove that large limb on that lime though ..bugging me just looking at it...looks like the tree would still look balanced if you had removed it....any reason you left it? Nice pruning job.
-
It also needs to be able to fell a tree,cut it into logs and stack them for the price they are....I do like good kit but it's getting to the point of being ridiculous amounts of money just to climb and move around a tree..

Morning "Pete Hart" formally known as "yaffle" as if we all didn't know lol..anyway fella how are and your website very clear and informative and not over stated...I haven't a clue how to post stuff on here Pete..never took the time to learn as it's something else I would have to find time to do.

Had my mk2 130 for a week gave it a good blast yesterday to see what she could do...I didn't hold back and it's perfect for me...not just the way it chips but for looks,weight and tow ability and easy use it's spot on..petrol engine so smooth a quiet...

Can't see any difference for doing work for a church as opposed to anyone else...don't see any relevance to the quotation. I have mates who have done work on church hearing systems and mates who have done electrical work. But have't changed there business cards adding..I do work for churches.

I know no comparison but I've had rangers since 2000 I've just traded in my long base single cab and my 2002 double cab xlt for a 2007 3.0 Wildtrak with tipper conversion I also have a 2008 3.0 Wildtrak for best. And even though I love rangers I wouldn't buy any ranger that was made after 2011. The build quality for some reason went south big time and as for customer service that is down to more location then overall service.i wouldn't touch Neissen or Mitsubishi Isuzu has some questions to answer but improving,Toyota is what it is but so exspesive.shame bout new rangers as they look fab compared to all the others.fingers crossed they sort it before am able to afford a new one.

You have to prepare the ground differently for permeable paving as opposed to normal. You need to dig out the ground to at least 300mm for permeable and lay different size grades of gravel starting from 15mm to 20mm down to pea gravel for top layer and no kiln dryed sand.costs more to prepare then normal but no planing permission needed if you use permeable paving.
-
Unless the block paving is permeable block paving system there is no point in installing any kind of under ground drainage system and even if the paving is permeable it wouldn't work that well.obviously the guy has try'd to be clever and it has done a job for a while but now all the sharp sand has washed through and filled the perforated 4" ground drainage pipe. With out seeing the lay out it would be difficult to asses but eco drains are best used with standard block paving and run of into existing service drain if possible and if not a good constructed to allow run of to flow into.

Does it mean...your round next????? Cheers buddy..better late then never....only joking.
