nathan

did think that, buts its only a minor item compaired to the rest of the model mate, cant wait for his possible mf240 ,sure he said qd cab on it

think i was just being picky sean, it is a cracking model and i'm sure i will get one or two as i have driven them. 240 sounds good same its not a 290 as i have driven a few of them too.

shouldn't it have hi line on the doors half way up on the hand bar, mine did , but i might be wrong

being a chelsea house, i was imformed that my 2 girls are liverpool and want shirts \, bad enough my grandson and his dad are man u.

2/3 weeks here 

Three more front loaders for mods. Thank you Nathan.

Another Britain's limited edition 60th anniversary Series 1 Land Rover for a mate.

you also forgot to mention the farm master with a big bucket and the picture of the dung fork for it

many thanks for the info, another member from devon, great,paulali

there are a few of us from devon 

some great pictures there mate cracking work, really like the mk1 escort takes me back to when i had my black mexico as a 20 yr old

only a white wheeled TTv , the 10 year one. from westpoint on sunday.

that looks very good mate and an easy conversion for anyone else to try too.

the best thing i thought was going around before people came in . cheap coffee for traders to can't be bad , needed it after getting up at half five . \

i did speak to a few punters and  they had never heard of FTF ,so i told them about it and they seemed intrested so you never know.

Well you never came to see Mark and I and introduced yourself

sorry about that mandy i did pop down but you were not there i did meet mark when he was walking round in the morning. i will make sure i do come and see you next time. i did like your transit vans on your stall

well got back from the show today, and being my first i enjoyed it too, her in doors loved it to and wants to do it again . it was nice to put some faces to some FTF members too. well see you all at the next one.

The odd couple.   

Had a phone call yesterday from Farmer Ed who will be there with a lot of the new stuff, he told me that everyone may be warned that prices have increased. We knew this as it's been reported in the model sections of the various mags but Ed said that Universal Hobbies stuff has gone up by as much as 22% on all their models. Siku an average of £2 per model. Wiking have not as yet put up theirs. Ed will however be keeping his prices competitive on his existing stock. The new stuff which he had a delivery of last week, he had to pay the new prices. He asked me to pass this information on to fellow collectors to say don't rush to buy anything before you compare prices of stallholders as some of them may have hiked the increase of prices onto their older stock.   He's a really good guy and likes to help and certainly keeps me informed.

i know farmer ed very well as he lives 2 minutes from my house,hes a good chap, but hes right about the prices

well its tomorrow and i'm all loaded ready to go.

Let me know what isle and table number you're on and I'll come and see you.

i dont know the table number tim as steve took the booking over the phone,

just look out for the big chap with a goatie and a skidhead.

well i have had a look at the 2009 book and there is only the bits that blake put up on page one.

there is no picture of the MF as it reads actual machine not yet launched

for the ford fw 60 it reads  all new tooling for actual machine

all the other tractors show the real tractor

the combine header trailer is ok but i'm not impressed

bobcat is ok

the only one i like is the jcb416

it only shows the prototype image ,and its very good so far .

the jd 5430i looks good but lacks a bit in detail but for the price its very good.

well i've added the new 2009 prices ,  \ \ :'(

UH can stick it then!!!  :D

To be honest, I can't say I'm surprised though.... I always thought it was a touch cheap for the level of detailing, but I for one will certainly be putting buying on an even firmer hold than it is already....

trouble is its not only UH, siku going up 30% i was told on tuesday by the rep.

know what your saying barry, but a 9 quid hike on the deutz seems a little over the top ,specially if the rest seam to be the odd quid or two, nath how much more is the tucano now then??

got the new price list today, cor hell . the tucano RRP price is now £79.99, mf 135 is £21.99,

claas cougar £74.99 , well all i can say is poor collectors

thats one hell of a jump for the deutz you sure its not just a print error?? if all the others seem to be the odd pound same with the class, seems way over the top if not,certainly wont be buying so much uh if they go up like that

nope i rang them up and made them check it twice sean. same with the tucano which is a shame as its a great model. i'm waiting for the whole price list before i pull my hair out  :D

as it was my birthday yesterday i think i will treat myself to the tucano if it doesn't sell on sunday 

Would think exchange rates have a lot to do with it

would say alittle bit of that, its just some models are silly prices now .i'm waiting for the full price list to see whats going on.

yesterday i had a delivery for a show i'm doing at westpoint on sunday and when i opened the invoice i was shocked at some of the price jump. for instance

a deutz k100 was £17.99 RRP its now £28.99  :o :o

the claas tucano combine you need a morgage for !!!!  :o :o

every thing else is mostly a pound different

well i think this is mad , and with money the way it is at the moment.

Thanks for the update Nathan.  No luck with the dealer box version at Masons?

sorry i didn't get that far
