Mmm. Looks handy for camping, and the exhaust system is nice and accessible.  :y

"What does she rev to, mister?" ;D

When it's cornering on rails does it have 5 reverse and one forward gear?   :)

....... and as regards the phone conversation earlier all I managed to rescue was a brand new genuine series front bumper thanks to an over zealous parts apprentice, a skip and a bin lorry arriving today instead of Monday.  Was lots of assorted switches, lamps and lenses, ball joints, seals engine parts etc etc. Now all destined for blooming landfill!

Thats a shame Broccie but, anything is gladly accepted as the above is by far the 'newest' of the fleet!

We use it mainly for weed killing the line, its a simple case of fit a large water container in the back, add some spray booms we have and off you go!

It also has a tail lift which si very handy.

No idea what it revs to, no rev counter but it has a turbo (and badly needs it with all the weight).

It corners like the Titanic though.  :o

Does the 22k mileage include the distance covered on the rails?  ;)

I have a feeling this thread is about to go off track.
