  1. this DB 990 i came across by chance at a local farm when i was a farm contractor ....... i found it abandoned and looking somewhat sad in the corner of a field thus after coaxing the engine to life ( had to use easy start AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH) and paying the farmer scrap price it found its way to my employers yard where after a 4 hour steam clean it looked thus ...... twas at this point i wondered what the hell i had let myself in for it was more a case of what actually worked than what didnt ... no hydraulics worked, no power steering sytem working ( yes i did liken it to a damn tank and after a rather hair raising road test decided i really should do something about getting some work started on it ), the brakes were somewhat useless and the seat was about ready for the scrap my ever present father just shook his head and walked away

AAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHH TOOOOOO MANY QUESTIONS my favourite model has to be my powerfarm TW35 MIB since its nigh on immaculate and just so damn sweet ive been on the hunt for a powerfarm county its taken me a while but i think ive found one that fits my very very fussy bill * just need to sell my soul and i can own it *= im extremely fussy about the condition of the boxes and toys ... anything less than a C8.5 - C9 has no place in my collection
