It's ok, I take them out first :ha ha!:

It's Tris. It's 03:45. It's bales for Wales!! Honk honk, all.

Not another Tesco problem?! Bottle of Boost. Mars Duo, Twix King Size. Breakfast sorted!

Can't say I heard it whilst I was leaving through the fire exit....

Erm... Now you come to mention it.... I did forget something!

Don't know how it could possibly have happened bud, all of a sudden there I am, putting a new tv in the van!!

Thought I'd pop in Currys on my way home from work for a nose at televisions as the DVD in our little one packed up. Came out with a 32" Toshiba and a Sony DVD player..... No idea how that happened!!

In his hay day, eh Mark? Have you contacted the owner of the image for a print?

Jeeeeesus!!!!!!!! On all three counts!!!!!! Nice Yank metal popping in for a visit, proper wrecker that. Not a cheap bit of kit by any means, these big American wrecker trucks. As for the home fleet, very impressive. The fleet is its own advertisement and when everything is all matched and carries a theme like those three (and the baby) do it just shows the company invest in top dollar gear to do top dollar work. Appreciate the updates, Mike.

It may well be worth searching for diecast and/or 1:50 scale models or Forums. I am not a member I'd any myself but presume they must be about.

Looks A ok, Sean. It doesn't want a lot, just enough to dull it down and age it and looking at the results, I'd say you have achieved that look just nicely

Oh John, what a tease!! You have taken some superb photos of your collection. What a lovely way to show them off too on a nice little site like that. Very nice viewing, very nice viewing indeed :)

Well, that. .... That would be telling!!

Logs this morning, six deliveries. Netting logs for local hardware/ironmonger/outdoors shop, boxing up nets of kindling for same customer. Back to Dads for a cuppa and pick up all my SCALOOX packs. ...

I like this a lot as it is so individual, what luck for the graphics hardware to still be on file. It isn't just the decals though, by the sound of it this was quite an engineering project too. It has all been worthwhile though as you have something really special there. Will you do anything with the steering 'space satellite' Duke managed to whack on the back of this toy? PMA/Artisan had that grain tank extension at the show in Zwolle back in November, kit form or ready built and painted. We asked if the bigger extensions were coming and they already had them drawn up and planned for making so it sounds like they got the job done in good time if they are to be available in February like they told Paul.

Anyone on the M6 last night?

I'll try later if it isn't dark mate, keep an eye on my work topic for an update.

What a little cracker it is too! Ideal for the grassland and veg crop jobs and working on ground where the big boys make a mess. We have a '96 310 Turbomatic in the yard now, its alnost immaculate, only 4k hours on the clock!!

I thought the chaser I used inthe USA was big, not to mention others I saw. That thing is huuuge!! Balzache maybe more appropriate!! Still, none of this kit is going to appear in Blighty for a long time yet. Kit like this I'd destined for Eastern Europe, Russia, The Americas and so on.

That is pretty big then! I bet it is a noisy machine, unlrss you are the guy in the Fendt

Still need chasers if the trucks cannot get in the fields as stopping to unload is money spent. So, cue the 2500 bushel chaser bin!

You have had more than us, Tim. What was forecast never came and what did, went! Had a trip over Shepton Mallet way earlier though and they'd also had a lot more which has stayed on the ground. I could have probably done the hay trip to Wales but last nights forecast on both Metcheck and Metoffice as well as the Tele made it sound very unfavourable. Nice to see a bit of snow covered scenery in your photos

Go on, get on the slide!!

There is no weight limit on the bridge but the village is not exactly artic orientated! I just looked at it and thought, "I can make that".

Keep an eye out, I'll let you know when I am heading your way again. Tim - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=208127880877144230801.0004d3e6aaa8fa72d7d5b&msa=0&ll=51.351629,-2.026978&spn=0.21013,0.617294
