Buckster Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hope someone can help, I've done a search but can't find anything. There was a thread a few years ago about a lad that built his own punt and punt gun can anybody point me in the right direction please. Think he also had a web site about it. TIA.

Yes it is all coming back now you mentioned Mr JDog coming down for the grand start up , the smoke was something else , at first we thought the beet factory was alight , then through the network of grapevines that travel across land and water twice the speed of sound , it came over loud and clear that a man in Cantley who is a expert on Land Rover's was firing his engine up after a complete overall and I mean complete , once we heard that we could get back to normal duties and peace was restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
