  1. Generally, those sold on eBay would be sold as show plates. Whilst they are a number plate the police and MOT tester can fail them, as they usually don't have the BS Standard logo, supplier details etc.
  2. From what I've always been told about old vintage cars, the vin plate was the important part as every other part is completely replaceable. As in theory you can build a car up from that vin plate, so would make sense to auction just the vin without the rest of the rot box. I think that's how jaguar, built a limited run of high end 60s cars, they had issued the vin numbers but never built them physically due to some issue at the time.
  3. Whilst they aren't politicians, I would still trust them over rishi. Between him and his wife that's 730million.
  4. I'm sure the Brandson and bezos say nah I've had enough every morning
  5. https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/109362-weight-of-ibc-cage-full-of-split-ash/
  6. On an old thread an ibc of loose green beech was 500kg and was hung off a scale.
  7. I think the key question should be is it lifting green firewood, if so it's a definite no on a 350kg machine. The 350kg lift at the headstock, would equate to around 250kg pallet lift. As an IBC is 1.2m3, so over a ton when wet, your going to need a decent forklift or tractor loader.
  8. Wouldn't that be something of an own goal ?
  9. Don't think you can contaminate steel production, it's more down to who is making it and to what price.
  10. Does that Torx driver come with a matching set of long handle forceps to pick up the lost screw that inevitably follows ?
  11. Bitcoin or using gold coins isn't exactly a practical solution either, nor is resorting to using the US dollar like Zimbabwe. Currency was created so we didn't have to lug around bags of gold or silver, hence the I promise to pay the bearer on demand phrase on our notes. That was one of the advantages of each country using a different currency in the past. A country's debt altered the rate, you can't do that with something like the euro to any degree which hasn't helped inflation. To a certain degree the real problems probably started when foreign companies started buying UK debts to make a profit, historically all debts were kept in house and so any profit also did.
  12. Cracking value for money, even delivered with the duties it's around £1.5k. Not sure how badly the tracks would damage the grass. What about a electric Flymo on a rope instead of 2 stroke, you can atleast collect the grass clippings.
  13. Think you'll be best making a tip site listing or speak with your local tree companies.
  14. You can't tar fox poo with that sort of packham stench
  15. If they're built anything like the basic Sip chainsaw trousers. My green ones are hot as hell, but built like a tank and get about 5 years a pair.
  16. Yeap, it certainly makes dog poo look tame. And has that ability to remain in your nose for days!
  17. Generally fox poo is shall we say fragrant in a bad sense
  18. There was me thinking it would be titled, 100 poos and where to find them. Maybe with a handy credit size ruler for scale and starting at elephant and working you're way down to woodlice.
  19. I've not heard about that, I do know that the reds can smell them and greys can't. Just presumed like most predators, they just move territory to a place with easy prey. The greys around me are wary for good reason but the buzzards are helping to keep a check on things.
  20. I'd go with something like a pine martin too, as they are very omnivorous plus the photo looks like a woodland area. Without knowing roughly where in the world you are, if it's pine martins you'll probably notice a reduction in grey squirrels population and or an increase in reds. Which is never a bad thing!.
  21. Plus it's tainted the axe, chainsaw and any other gear he's worn.
  22. It's perfectly safe to burn
