I was shouted at by Mrs Bg, apparently I have been told before. As it’s raining here perhaps you both have a point.

My humblest apologies. You probably won't hear the end of it now. Drizzle here now.

Used to take all the dung from a neighbours hen houses, he had a cabless Thomas skidsteer, hens were on a 14 month cycle which ment sometimes the houses had to be emptied with the hens still in, getting a runny one down the back of the neck wasn't nice!I used to go to that egg farm at Hough spreading and got loaded by a old chap with a cab less jcb with no back actor on it .

Okay so it's not quite new but I finally (slightly accidentally) bought myself a pickup.
It might take a few years to tidy her up but hopefully we'll see some sun next week so I can get the roof and doortops off and have a proper play

There's no doubt it's a toy but the business has paid for it and will slowly pay for a fairly major restoration so if the taxman asks then purely a work vehicle.
Changed it for you, based on experiences with Landrovers years ago!

Quite a strange wheel set up on that truck with the smaller wheels mixed with the bigger fronts.
How long does shipping take?

The actual boat bit can take as little as 3 weeks however cleaning at the port can take a lot longer. At present getting stuff on a boat is tough. The two I sent yesterday had been waiting 6 weeks.

You certainly wouldn't want too much dirty water running off the yard.
