At one time laguna auto boxes were delivered with swarf in them....... No wonder your mate liked them You could also get renault megane 4x4 - rare as hens teeth though.....

My son started uni In surrey He had qualified at practical stuff at night school when he was 16 The degree was 5 hours a week ! 3 of those was subject he was qualified in, so they used him to teach it Stuck it till xmas then transferred to american university 40 hours of lectures a week If there was bank holiday they had extra lectures over weekend to "catch-up" Started at 8:30 am finished at 10;00 pm Dfferent work ethic in america ............

Could just use centre pop to deform threads and lock the nuts on Or better drill and use split pins Spot of weld would be best

People on other side of valley can't cut grass because it's full of snakes We never see them, but girl who trains her horse says she saw grassnake 3feet long, seemed a bit excessive to me ....

When I was assessing Combine harvester picked up crap and wrecked augers Farmers drove to east anglia to get parts and fitted overnight = long day First thing in morning Started combining and drove over toolbox

I remember Plant a tree in 73 Plant some more in 74

I always understood that the most dangerous career was being a poet So many of them commit suicide .....

Couple of keepers around here have litle suzukis and love them Say they will go anywhere I believe they were designed by Land Rover for suzuki Sod it just go for what will be most fun!

Guy was complete pr*** i believe they had another shoot and shot hundreds of ducks on the opening day of the season Totally gross .......... But then I'm a rough shooter ......

I bought v8 engine from states and that was here pdq too Some garage in birmingham wanted £10k to rebuild engine - bought brand new one in a crate for £3500 - that stopped them ......

Dunno - but he is rocket scientist - worked for Marconi Aviation before city boys trashed and burned the company .......

I'm in similar position to you but my woods are long standing I went for alpine tractor as my fields are steep and I scare easily More wood than I can handle Coppicing seems to be a paying proposition in sussex to dorset belt, and lake district ( plenty brass to pay for charcoal etc ) not sure about N Wales though - everyone seems to live on grant money here Going to get fergie out again as alpine too small for full ibc containers

When I was assessing went to farm He was feeding sugar waste to cows to get butterfat content up ( some grant thing ) He'd bought 40 tonne lorry full of condemmed turkish delight It was very hot and ddn't tip When nearly vertical whole lot went over sideways Never seen so many wasps

Used to be avid shooter / gundog person Sort of drifted away over last few years Wondering whats happened to keepering round here Someone has released 1000's of poults last week... Wandering all over the valley ....... Has he never heard of a release pen? Wonder how many will be around by October ? Might be guy doing about 60mph in new lwb land rover up a single track road couple of days ago - scared me silly, and god help anyone who meets him Last get rich quick shoot put 1000's of poults down and did a runner without paying for them ...i think they owed £40,000 I gave them permission to dog in as I didn't want his pheasants everywhere My wife went out and found them driving the birds across my land with paying guns on my neighbours ( he's an anti) with beaters climbing my fences They told my wife I'd given permission to hold a drive ( I didn't) They told my neighbour I'd said it was ok to hold a drive On his land ( how could I ?) They also left dead /wounded birds EVERYWHERE Luckily he believed me They opened up gate from forestry onto my land, and there were land rover tracks around my fields....... UPSUM. Absolute pillochs Shoot no longer welcome here

Whats he doing wrong to cause you so much grief? If he is total idiot with saw and endangering people he needs stopping If he is sensible cautious guy .........wtf

Range rovers $35,000 or £40,000+ Remember USA geared up for mail order ( they have to be cos its a big country ) so generally no problem getting parts shipped My mate worked in calfornia for ten years and brought loads of stuff back, when his washibg achine broke he got parts shipped in three days

What about old tractor Grey fergie or similar? Should get nice one for £1500 Could put saw bench on it too....

I had high hopes for the new dacia duster 4x4 crew cab pick up But they are not importing to uk..... Guess that renault/dacia/nissan relationship means they want to sell nissan pick ups for £25k rather than dacia ones at about £12k I might consider lhd one If price right

I've looked at these lithuanian/baltic guys too Wondered about going in with some friends and getting a load For ourselves to buildup a store Did wonder if there was a business renting a disused garage for six months on edge of a town and just putting firewood signs up - and sell off the forecourt for the winter - cash and carry logs Dead simple business model,

We ( well my missis) looked at this when we came out of Tir Gofal She said " we're not doing this , not worth the effort " I don't like leaving " money on the table " but I had to agree with her when I looked at it.... Tir Gofal was very good for us, but costs much more marginal with Glastir, and onerous about stuff like using aluminium (?) nails for bird boxes ......just felt I could see grief ahead Shame really

I've planted two Both died .....and not cheap trees either Mght try again this autumn There is street lined with them in paris -- rue de rivoli I think, if you walk towards bastille Trouble was fruit was v dusty .......

Watched documentary some time ago They were restoring stuff of this standard from couple hundred years ago They had guy recreating stuff and he was charging mega thousands Perhaps your dad should recreate antique deigns

I had multipla We all loved it Very different driving experience Kid in the middle, and roll along whilst you all chat Flat floor and range rover ground clearance too Only problem was noisy wheel bearing just before i sold it It's the car we look back on with fond memories Not best for long motorway journeys though

Is this related to deep vein thrombisis ?

Just got back from Gers in rural France Stumbled across brocant street market, loads of adzes for sale plus draw knives etc etc No riving tools though - limited in what I could get home Stuff was cheap too - typically 15€ for a draw knife
