I know of someone who fitted one of these to a gas pipe by mistake about 4 yrs ago, and it's still there
How can you do that "by mistake"?
Tom
Easily......if you only have two brain cells

Be warned fit it yourself and you have a fire as a result your insurers may not pay out, they are always looking for any excuse not to.
What, you mean like you do a rubbish dangerous job of installing a stove/flue yourself, burn your house down through your own stupidity or penny pinching, then expect your insurer (and therefore other policyholders) to pay for all that? Insurance is not a dustbin for people's Darwin Award efforts

Now safely back with his owner.
Did he escape or stolen???
I just heard. Absolutely brilliant news, it's been hanging over my head all weekend so God knows what Bob must be feeling!
I'm not sure of the details yet but appears he escaped from a 'compound' (so probably dumped
), and was found by someone who had seen it on Facebook.I told Buzz's mum (the bitch we bred Buzz from) the good news but she wasn't bothered as she had got fed up with the litter at about six weeks anyway

How old is the dog?
Just coming up to 16 months - born June last year.
-
We just heard this from the owner a few minutes ago - the dog was originally bred by us, he's a lovely little dog.
Thieving b@stards. I'll get a photo off Bob and post it on other forums.

Christ, I remember that song from first time around

Spoke to someone on a shoot who has one, he is getting calls weekly offering shooting as they do so little damage and go everywhere. I am so so jealous, what a cracking little shooting wagon
Noting your location, that'll be Will?
Very low ground pressure, the tyres run at just 5psi. Because it is a wider track than a Landie, I fill their ruts back in again
-
Nice toy but slow and cold. It would take hours to cover the ground.
Be good for feeding etc but i dont know about lamping unless the area is small.
Eh? It does 35mph. I've never needed to lamp that fast
hi mate nice motor. hows the semi auto beretta?
atb jim
Hi Jim
It's very handy, ta. It probably comes out of the cabinet as much as anything else!
-
mint and about £10k second hand looked at them before top speed 40 mph would be pain on road though
£10k? I wish........You won't even get an ex Witham vehicle that needs a lot of work for that :(
Does it swim David?
Yes. Around 700mm wade depth, then it floats. It has two bilge pumps, as the hull can't be 100% watertight. Outboard on the tailgate, and away you go
nice motor
,but i like things that keep the weather out......................and a heater.The radiator and oil coolers are under your seat. I was out on my quad in -15 last year, it's better than that
-
That'll need a lot of work.......
Mine came from here:

mmm nice ,road legal ?
Road legal enough for the Army
-
The quad is gone........long live the Alvis Supacat
Ex British Army, last saw service in Afghanistan, retired in 2010.
6 wheel drive, VW 1.9 TDI engine/auto box, front four wheels steer conventionally, plus it has skid steer.
Very light on the ground due to the flotation tyres.
There's a winch under the cover behind the seat in case I have to rescue anyone (or myself
).

New equivalent machine is now £7,300.

It's a shame you aren't closer......(I am in Suffolk).
I'm just about to sell my 2006 4wd TRX 350 ES.
Bought by me new in 2006, road registered (light agricultural class, tax £0).
Electric thumb gearshift. All as original, only used to pootle round our smallholding pulling a chain harrow/fertiliser spinner/for lamping foxes off. Nothing broken, nothing has ever gone wrong with it.
It has a genuine 163 hours/1327km from new, and the condition reflects that. Recently serviced.
Price £3,500 (the equivalent new today is £7,300). If you are interested I can post some photos.

I bought it around two years ago at a good price, I'm just not using it enough to warrant keeping it (I've only put around 250 cartridges down it since I've had it) and so not asking silly money for it now as no point in being greedy
-
i would think it choked at full and full,they normally are as the shot has to clear the end of the moderator,but I might be wrong
Wrong

Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 Tactical LR/T IR scope.
Illuminated Mildot reticle.
Target turrets.
Unmarked condition.
Fitted with Butler Creek front flip up cover.
Selling for an RFD friend as target scopes/shooting aren't his thing or client base.
I toyed with the idea of buying it and tested it at 700 yards on Saturday (hand held) against my MTC Viper, Bushnell Elite 4200 4.5-25x50 and Swarovski Habicht 4-16x50 to give a comparison right across price ranges, and clarity wise and sharpness on target at that distance it was up near the Swarovski. It really is that clear.
I need a scope to go 1200 yards on my .308, and for my eyes x25 mag was marginal for that, I'd prefer x32 so I shan't buy it.
Sportsman currently have these on offer at £1,414 (RRP £ 1,760).
No box or papers (the RFD originally saw them, and by the time it came in the chap's wife had thrown the box and everything else away ).
Hence bargain price £785 posted mainland UK.

I believe PU ******** the base off to the point they also wanted it closed, as well as Elveden Estates
.
As someone else that has shot there for over 20 years, the last time about a month ago (when more than half the traps were out of order) to be honest I am glad it has finally been put out of its misery.
