Was the cab from an ERTL model?

Visit to Reaseheath College in Cheshire for an interview, lunch and beer in Nantwich, then back home.

"I said stop hold the phone This has to be cut to the bone To bad I see red, I see red, I see red.. Wow...

Searching the internet for ramps so I can load a ride-on mower onto the pickup. Or a suitable cargo trailer with a ramp.

Me too! It's been a joy to read, from start to finish. Keep up the good work!

Offered an interview at Reaseheath College for a farm apprenticeship with the Co-Op (I'm not holding my breath though as there are only eight places available this year..)

I presume the Landy was manual? I've never driven an automatic. I suppose it leaves your left hand free to swipe any rowdy kids in the back or eat a Dangerous Dave burger?... \

Helping (I hope) refitting a rear brake drum shoe to the David Brown after having the liner riveted. Then my first experience doing row crop work on a small plot, using the 784 to roll a couple of beds, then later weeding some spinach with a sort of home-made steerage hoe.

Very nice. I rather like the grill the colour it is. What is it like to drive, have you tried it off-road yet?

Sofa delivery men not doing their job

Fantastic, both pictures. I think this may need a separate topic, although such gems will be far a few between I'm sure!

Second that about the D22/Navara. I was poised to drive to Kent to get a nice 04 reg D22, when I read this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2008/10/pickup_a_problem.html

Ford 7910 4wd pulling an empty bale trailer (Thought it was the similar-looking TW series at first ), and in the distance a New Holland with yellow folding rolls.

Moving another sofa for the parents, this time to Wotton-under-Edge. It only just fit in the tub too

First job for the pickup: transporting an old sofa to a friend.

It's actually dark blue Bill but I'm sure the same applies

Will either of the new XL's be for sale does anyone know? Might try for Sunday, but I completely forgot about this

This takes me back to the sort of "open" set up I made when I was younger (but obviously with way more realism, and buildings I would have died for). Love the hedges (sponge and flock?), kinked track (poor Scania driver ) and wire fence. Did you construct this entirely yourself or are there parts from Mandy's shop? And (how) did you make the feed silo and silage clamp? Superb

Treat yourself to a 1:32 Mark, that's what I do in such circumstances... What annoyed me... paying £85 for a 60l tank of diesel!

Buying my new pickup

OUCH must have been quite an impact

Surely some mistake? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350325591130&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_500wt_1108
