pavman Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 after a few trips I concluded the MKI was over engineered so this is MKII comprises just 3 parts and fixed by 8 bolts, can be transported in car if required and fitted at farm, 12volt lamp outlet plugs into caravan 12(S) tow bar socket so is always live, useful on a sit out, am testing tonight for first time, you get 360 deg area of shot and a very stable stance due to shooting off a bench type set up which allows the left fist to steady elevation, it takes just 5 mins to fit or take down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jef Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 How about a wee upstand on the alluminium to save your mucky boots kicking the back door on that nice freelander? Looks the business though. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, tell a lie, I thought that seat covers and a sun roof would be much more of a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The lengths some people will go to just to shoot a fox Now you can thank me for that bright idea about an all round shooting platform! Don't know about the VW toe rag though, think you could shoot your own aerials off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 That reminds me of that Honda advert where a long and drawn out series of components and contraptions integrate with one another in a very long winded and time consuming and costly exercise which culiminate in the boot of a Honda being closed and a flag dropping down from the ceiling. See >here< That ad begs the question of why all that effort for a relatively simple purpose / outcome...... Not knocking it mind you - it keeps 'em off the streets of Ipswich of a night time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking it mind you - it keeps 'em off the streets of Ipswich of a night time Mung there’s an advert running for social workers, no experience necessary but a compassionate, understanding and caring nature with an ability and desire to help others is prerequisite, Please don’t apply as rejection can be hard to take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
