  1. Where abouts in Sheffield is your job? May be able to help
  2. This is exactly why I don't cut full time anymore I have been waiting near enough 6 months for some payments! The last place I worked full time was brilliant but other machine operator's undercutting and doing it for next to nothing led to a loss of work! I now work part time as a support worker in my local college and cut on my days off! I have a regular income now and love getting back out in the woods! Back to the old when you have sawdust in your blood you can't get it out!
  3. Went yesterday was a fantastic day took my grandad he really enjoyed it too. The only problem is the people on the stalls are good at making you spend money 😀 it's the British stihl timber sports championships today! Have a good one folks!
  4. I'll b there Friday. Yes it's expensive but if you're into that kind of thing its well worth it imo.
  5. Hi Chris same around here they seem to be coming more popular that's why I was curious about them and main dealer is only about 10 mins from my spot.
  6. Eyup johny it's about that of a great wall cheers.
  7. Cheers for the info so far folks it's not looking good then. Think I'll have a look for a 2nd hand mainstream make then. Cheers again jim
  8. Evening all. Im starting to look for a new pick up, im a suby cutter don't do much towing, just throw saw and tools in back and go. Need 4wd to get me out off the sh!t and save a bit of a treck sometimes dont need a proper off roader. Does anyone own or have any experience of the great walls, good/bad? Ive notice that they have brought out the new tracker version. Im only a young driver and they come into a low insurance group which looks a bit of a plus already. Cheers in advance jim.
  9. So does this meen you can run your vehicle on red and class it as plant? Haha :thumbup:
  10. Martin seemed like a very nice chap I only met him briefly. Very sad news and a very sad loss to the arb community and his family! This incident happened only 2 miles or so from my house. I have heard of a few close shaves around my way recently STAY SAFE people!!!
  11. I have one there are a few good ones threads on here about them. Mine has no back seats and is boarded out. 2" lift kit and big muds on you wouldn't want to go on a long distance trip in it. I've got manual hubs on it as the vacuum ones can be unreliable and if your going off road/in woods the transmission supports want upgrading to heavy duty as the ally ones can snap. It's a good off road cheap to run/fix fun truck! KAP motor sports do good jimny's. Jim
  12. I have a jimny which is a van no seats in the back and all boarded out in the back. It also has lift kit and big muds on it as well ideal forestry vehicle for me! 👍
