    Well what's the problem then? 😛 I've eaten crocodile. It was ok, but pickles are better. 👌🏻

    Oh i love a gherkin. Or more often a cornichon. I get the jars of Turkish mixed pickles. Cornichons, pickled white cabbage, peppers, carrot, garlic. Delicious!

    Looks like it's about to piss down!

    Like a 6' tranny in heels? 😂

    Garden music? Gardening music? Either way, it's good and relaxing.

    Oregon oil that bad? I've only used Stihl Ultra, Husqvarna XP and pre-mixed Aspen/Husq 2T. Place i used to work used Stihl HP and it seemed ok.

    Idiot i used to work with filled his old Scirocco up with petrol/diesel mix we drained out of a customer's car. In his bizarre logic the mix would "clean the carburettor". It didn't, and he ended up rebuilding the carb as the diesel ate all the seals or something.

    Was expecting you to point out how useless my 525's bumper spike is! 😛 They all sit on a shelf drained down and unused now anyway. ☹

    Yes! My world! No, i'm just pedantic, picky and have nothing better to do while job hunting. No different to my full wraps, big felling dogs, display saw. I'm just a picky person and i wanted the auto-return switches.

    They did a 3-litre V6 Amarok, and they do a BiTurbo 3-litre V6, 320bhp & 650nm. Would've been a great combination, and no bigger or heavier either.

    Looking forward to all the comments on all this being useless and unneccessary. 😛 My T525 never came with bumper spikes for some reason, although they're meant to come with them in the box. The nice people at L&S Engineers sent me a set: Tah-dah! I love this saw, it's a little powerhouse! Then i wanted to fit auto-return kill switches to my 390, 395 and 3120. These are T540 kill switches. The 390 is a direct fit as both use spade terminals, but the 395 and 3120 use a spade and a ring terminal on the kill switch. You can either cut the ring off the wire and crimp on a spade terminal or open them up and swap over the contacts: The inner gubbins are interchangeable so there's no issue swapping the ring contact into the 540 switch. And fitted into the 395, looks exactly the same but you can't forget and leave it in the off position.

    + barn doors above the tailgate. The less anyone can see, the better.

    Same here, they take it and leave it somewhere quiet and low traffic for a few days. Came out one morning to find the quarter glass removed from my van and chucked on the cab floor, they'd pulled at the dash panels but seen my ignition switch guard and left it. Bloke across the road with the same van had his nicked. He had a tracker and found it a couple miles away parked near the woods. The car cost 3 times as much as the van, but never worry about parking it anywhere. If they don't nick the whole van they'll nick bits off it.

    😂 Definitely one way to get the week off to a good start.

    Or did you just think they were your best? 😂 I used to work next to some Hungarian carpenters. They had all kinds of stuff on hand, their workshop was like a rave, you could hear it a mile away. Incredible productivity though!
  16. Moose McAlpine
    Hold on, you're not meant to take a couple Es before you smash out leylandii removals? Oh...
  17. Moose McAlpine
    36" on a 550. It was only for the pic, it doesn't actually fit. You should be fine with an 18 on yours.

    This is about 3.5L: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000V1QDBI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_ND46EA6RSZ6FMR48HA78

    I was watching that saw too. 😂
  21. Moose McAlpine
    I'm sure. Going by my 390 and 395 i bet this is quite a beast. 😍🤤
  22. Moose McAlpine
    I need it.
  23. Moose McAlpine
    I'm getting the same pain lately, lower groin. I've already had 2. 😕
  24. Moose McAlpine
    Fill it up with fuel cans! If the customers i went out to on the AA are anything to go by, you can get to the moon and back on 5 litres! (Well, they thought they could.. until they ran out on the M25 and muggins here went out to rescue them.)
