Lady Ferguson Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well today I pretty much had the time of my life. Simon very kindly offered to let me drive a new Massey... and it was absolutely fantastic! This is the first pic I took of here.... she's just sooooooooooooooooooo beautiful and red Simon did the difficult bit and backed her out of the yard before we started And then we went to a nearby field and I climbed into the driving seat Now, due to my lack of forsight (and the fact that I felt a lot safer with Simon sat in the cab) I haven't actually got pics of me driving around field, but here is a view when I'd sort of got the hang of it and was allowed onto the road I'll let Simon report on how he thought I did, but I didn't hit the car that was behind us when he showed me how to put into reverse And then there was this one that I fell in love with And this one that needed someone to fall in love with it :'( A pic which Simon took (I swear after having a go at it with a screwdriver) in order demonstrate Massey build quality I found this behind one of the 'other' tractors: And finally a pic of my Fave Toy Boy with his own tractor... he is such a sweetheart * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
