It is, but he said they work in Gibraltar but live in Spain. We no longer can just live anywhere in the EU, so i'm wondering how it'd work. I suppose you wouldn't need a work visa to live in Spain, but not work there.

How does that work now post-Brexit? I love Spain, but the place i can stay at is closer to Malaga.

Me too! Not that any of mine have been used for months. 😕

Gustharts, FR Jones, Honey Bros, Skyland all show it in stock, not hard to get hold of.

I believe there's no way unless you're an authorised dealer as it's an online system, so you log in every time you use it.

I've never forgotten it, but i haven't heard that one for about 25 years! Merde alors!

More like drunk in public.

When i worked for the AA (The other one.) i sang it on jobs where cars' wheels had come off. Sometimes got a good reaction, often didn't. 😂

They all work, doesn't mean they get used. 😛

No it isn't.

Had this for 3 years and love it. Very quiet and comfy, reasonably economical (40+mpg on motorway) for a big V6 diesel and 4x4. Ticks all the boxes for me, drove it to Spain and back in absolute comfort, but just as good commuting. Had a MK 4 Golf wagon for 5 years before this. Love estates, wouldn't have anything else now.

You've got a 572XP to buy next. Then a 592XP.

Blimey, you feeling alright?

They're like 8 quid. If in doubt buy a new one. I keep a couple spares in my saw toolbox.

Maybe price. 365 was a cracking saw for the money, a lot less expensive than the 372. Yeah, suppose so. Will be interesting to see the pricing on them when they're released. Haven't used any of mine for months but i still want a 592..

Pretty good going. Would like to compare it next to a 390XP and 395XP. Wonder why they even bothered to make a 585 as well as the 592. 🤔

Bar length 24-36" Sound output 118db Weight 7.4kg excluding fluids Displacement 92.7 cm³ Chain speed 30.6m/s Power output 5.6kw/7.6ps (horsepower) Max bar length 90cm/36" Bar mount Large Chain pitch ⅜" Tank volume 0.86l

Ohhhhh yes please. 😍 Does look like a slightly overweight 572. Not the brutal funtional look of the 395. Will have to buy one at some point.

Everyone gets so wound up over this stuff. There aren't even many 3,500kg vehicles that can tow over 3,500kg. Trailers over 3,500kg can't have overrun brakes, so that also rules out most 3.5t vehicles from towing them anyway. My van has a GVW of 3,500kg and a GTW of 7,000kg. My trailer has a GVW of 3,500kg. I have a B+E licence so i'm covered for what i drive. Getting C+E so i can drive whatever the hell i want and not worry about the minor ins and outs of lower licences.

Blimey, and i thought my Sprinter was bad. It's only a 2.1 so the Shogun has a fair bit more power but this was today pulling a loaded 3-axle trailer at 60. (On the scales at ~5,500kg GTW.)

Were diesel Mazda's troublesome? I went to very few when i worked for the AA and for a few years Mazda was officially the most reliable car brand here. (Quite possibly still are.) The Mazda's the best-looking of the 3 by a country mile. CRVs are boring and covered in typical over-the-top Honda design and also a hybrid like the RAV-4, which is a combination of 2 technologies done badly together. Always find Toyotas a bit plastic-y, almost cheap and nasty. Of the 3 i'd have the diesel Mazda.

What type and brand of chain are you using, and is it sharp, with the rakers/depth gauges taken down correctly? If the saw's not being overworked in terms of bar length, and it's taking a lot of force to cut (and as such needing bigger spikes to dig in for leverage) maybe it's just not cutting well? When the chain's sharp you should be able to dog in the spikes and give little pressure on the handles and it'll work its way through easy. Does it cut well just pushing in the cut and not trying to lever it using the spikes? Saw and logs in that pic, i'd just sharpened the chain and it was eating through that log very quickly using almost all the bar length and i could cut using just the back handle and very little upward pull on the handle. So i wonder if the chain is not sharp enough and that's taking more effort to cut? (Granted that's a much bigger saw, but it's also a bigger bar.) If you want bigger spikes you can send me your existing ones and i can cut 'n' shut weld with some spares i've got off bigger saws (will have to check what i have.) but bear in mind that an extra inch of spikes means one less inch of useable bar length.

Got my HGV theory in a week, then doing Class 2 and Class 1. 😬

Thought you were a bloke, didn't know you were a good looking woman..
