  1. They were also marketed as Tasco if you see any offered.
  2. Used a small SIP for on farm repairs etc...brilliant little thing....well worth having.
  3. A good read and good that you both got out !
  4. 69 less entries than 7th Jan at Orston though .........
  5. Think the forecast storm may have put many off that one !
  6. Maybe feeding on GM seeds !
  7. Think they`re missing a trick with no swb model but I think their biggest was abandoning British manufacture in the 1st place.
  8. Don`t think you`re right ,there are lots of farmers who would rather have their Isuzu trooper/Daihatsu Fourtrack /Defender commercials etc,as they were capable and compact/manoverable whilst still good towing machines.The current bloated pickups are not handy for many peoples uses.
  9. Unfortunately as we all know,theyre making vehicles for people who mostly will never use them for the supposed purpose the things were made for and subsequently diluting the product...even the useful Dacia Duster is now being sanitised for the road biased market,and look what happened to Skoda 4x4`s after the Yeti.....
  10. Remember them having some interesting guns etc , sort of gunshop that was worth visiting !!!
  11. Thanks,that`s the name I was trying to recall !!!!
  12. Can anyone remember the name of the gunshop that was above one of the shops in the centre of Eastriggs ,possibly the Post Office ???? We used to call thewre on Solway expeditions many years ago. Thanks.
  13. ..think they were designed for work offroad despite the price ,Landrover have the posing market well covered really.
  14. Very little money for what is a top quality competition gun......built to last forever too...
  15. Excellent write up ,took me back to the woods !!!! Proper rifle too.Congrats.
  16. I don`t think rearing is the issue with Greys as much of trying to drive the little blighters and make any sort of bag !!! As for reared duck,well ,least said the better......
  17. Yep,that`s early S687 engraving,think the game scene pattern came in about `80.Hth.
  18. I would think that they`re slowly dying the death of many gunmakers before them . Who is buying their product ? Very,very few here and from what I`ve read,similar in the USA . Sad but irreversible I`d think.
  19. Extreme actions bring about extreme reactions and we`re now seeing the reaction across Europe by the look of it and it will probably not be a good thing for anyone .
  20. Bought a few guns off them spread over last 35 years,in person and RFD`d .Always faultless and sensible to deal with.
  21. Made by Zabala Hermanos I think.
