rich.new holland Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Oh, you've been to Shobdon collective. Not a bad little sale really, second Tuesday each month or something. Chap called Morris farms the land round there. Lot of spuds, you may have passed his farm on the lane down to the airfield, farm called Milton, nice kit. Kingspan's plant is just off the airfield too, where they make the rigid insulation, big place. The bloody OSR plays havoc with wy sinuses when it flowers!! Today I've been building, or more precisely, demolishing. Knocked the window out of one bedroom, moved it to the new one, took out the wall the window was in, drylined the walls & ceilings, put a new floor down, insulation......... loads! they have barley planted around the airfield now (well i think it is ) we went past that kingspan factory on the way in does that farmer have old jd's with sg2 cabs \ as thats the only one that i can remeber by there \ ,he looks like he's selling a load of his kit as it was all lined up in the field as if ready for a sale are you close to shobden then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a smaller farm on the other road with a few SG2 Deeres. Could be packing up? Will ceck the press! I'm about 20 minutes from Shobdon in the other direction.

Simon Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 There is the odd bargain to be had there, I've not been up for a long time though. Must go up again. Last time I was there we were drag racing the Range Rover and a V8 110 up the runway. How mature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 haha thats the way we had a bit of a race today on the runway but it was too rough \ man 7.5 ton with a bobcat and a 6 ton spreader on against a mercedes vito and trailer with boat but it was too rought but i think the man would have eaten the merc if it was smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 This was in the yard, not 3/4 of a mile down the bloody field, so stop your witty interruptions Mr Pullen! :D Mission complete Agent L E Kins. Used to see them alot when I was on the blocks up around Derbs mate, that's why it rang a bell Yeah they come here quite alot delivering the water pipes. They have some smart airbrushing behind the cabs. Dukes of hazzard on the one today, and Lion King last week. Nice trucks too, although they reckon they are very powerful.
