Lord Ferguson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bought a Smart car for Mrs F... I know... I spoil her really.. and it's MF red as well :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 what so your the pick up man now then??? or tell us the truth the smart car Well mate.... I've got all three at the minute... my plan is to off road the BM in the winter... use the smart car to go to work and back (6 miles or so).. save some money on 6 months tax on the BM... keep it for the odd few summer days where you can have the roof down... and run the pickup as well of course... Diane doesn't like the BMW... but she likes the Smart and the Rodeo... so it's every man for himself in the mornings to get your choice of car keys first :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 i bet it is bud, be you first in the rodeo then?? or will you snag the smarty car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 i bet it is bud, be you first in the rodeo then?? or will you snag the smarty car I'm really not that fussed mate to be honest... I like them both really... I had a Smart car when they first came out (left hooker... import)... I'll be happy in either motor to get to work & back. I currently pay about £60 per week to run my BM to work and back 7 days a week... 12 mile round trip... tops ... Smart car is tax (road fund licence) free... cheap to insure and does 65 mpg so they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 sensible it seems to be honest, short journeys and crap roads you can hardly overtake on anyway at that time!......i can see you in the smart car with that hat you have, the one you wore on the 240 years ago!!!.....................at least now i can keep up with you! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I like your idea Mark. With the state of the roads in this country you can drive the Smart car until the suspension, tyres, rims and steering is all totally w****d out and then by that time you'd have save enough money to drive the 4x4 to work along all the what would then be 'dirt roads'. Ideal :laugh: Rodea eh, local NH salesman has one of them on an 07. Smart looking bit of kit too, not sure what the service history has been like but he near as damn itl ives in the thing so I expect it's a high miler but it looks well enough.

unkelfergus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 After 25 years of loyal service old "Wesley",...(our pressure washer/steam cleaner[the steamer packed up years ago]) finally got retired.. It was so bloody heavy that you either wheeled it around or moved it on the pallet forks.No one in their right mind would want to nick it. Its replacement however, needed a tad more security,..... Made use of an old 300 gallon tank,..and an hour with the disc cutter and welder. Took just as long to anchor it to the floor as it did to make it.....

PDC Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I picked up a rucksack today ready for my week walking on the Pennine Way next month, i had my heart set on Osprey bag which was £90........I got a bag with similar features but a little smaller in Lidl for £17.99 just got to put some miles on it full of stuff to make sure it's up to the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 paul i might have missed this, but the Pennine way runs next to my house, (in Liverpool) i thoroughly recommend avoiding that bit of it, I only feel safe if I've got Roxy (rottweiler x staffy) with me... failing that if you need a place to stay while walking that bit let me know...

robbo Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 A new strimmer for the garden, my old one was a Black and Decker and was handed down to me after my father died in 1999 so I suppose it didn't owe me anything. Got a Flymo version this time and I hope it lasts me as long ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
