Well Done bignose... looks like a prper family day out  ;)

Did you travel far  ???

It was a great day mate thanks.. and ALL the family enjoyed it... except Alfrid (the dog)... he had to stay at home as I've got a bad back and Mrs F can't lift him in the trailer... he is very old and suffers from a weak hip so he couldn't make the jump... poor lad  :'(

We did about 10 miles at a guess... but it took us all day.. which suited me down to the ground really... that's what Sundays were designed for really in my opinion.

So waht rubbish tip did you get the sofa off :D :D

I bet you had Mrs F and the kids scared when you tried doing handbrake turns on the way home ;D ;D

:D - mates skip next door... lucky find that... I said... Oooo I'll have those thanks  ;D - will save them for next year I reckon too... Mrs F was well impressed with them  :D :D

I only took the kids on the run in the trailer Colm... too many nutters in a hurry around here to take them without the protection of an escort and 20 tractors in front and behind me... I did however accidently hit the odd pothole at the side of the road when travelling on the run... and accidently speed up for some speed bumps  ;D:D :D

no a new one just wont look right behind her mate, start trawling ct mag or cheffins, you will find one, even if it needs a little work, woodern sider might look even better, less resto work ,especially for a wood worker like you

It's the vintage sale at the weekend mate.. I'll keep a look out I think then

You did the same to me when I said the words John and Deere in your living room!!

I ca't believe I've neglected Mavis so much she's on to page two now  :-[ ....

I've been out on her today... just having a look around out local area at work.... here she is... still as beautiful as ever... and still sporting pretty much the same hours that she had when I bought her 10 months or so ago  :o

Mark, there is a pony paddock near me and they have a tidy Marshall 804 or something, unfamiliar territory for me. . . . However, there is also another Marshall slightly obscured by post and rail fencing which I swear is a 240 in disguise. . . . Any light you can shed?

Mavis, she's a little tinker. :)
