Dont think they are rare ,thought they was done slightly cheaper more for children to play with and used up chassis they had , i got 4or5 about here somewhere used to get them from car-boot sales and then use them for conversions

This is the pickup hitch that i stripped down on bank holiday monday as the latches often would not be in right place when lifting to lock ,the spring is tucked up underneath which i found was broken so i suspect thats the problem ,ordered a new one from Does at Framlingham on Tuesday and picked it up today . Not fitted as yet as been on other jobs ,might get done tomorrow if not friday as it talks of being a wet day ,hopefully it will fix the problem

Yes the size of company is insane,Guy and his sister sold his last company for 80 million and set up this one , his son Jake used to ride his moter cross bike on a track we had on the farm when he was about 12 years of age , i asked him last night if he could remember it and he said yes , he set up the concrete plant on site because of the ammount he was going to need to do a big part of the yard

Yes good to bump into you as well ,i was miles away looking at the view out over the lakes with the swans swimming in the background and a row of grey Fergusons parked up on the edge of lake ,if you had not called out i might have missed you . Its a wonderful show and a perfect setting the show gets bigger each year . last year the show organiser's donated over £18,000 to local charities .
