paulob1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I am off to Sammys to collect my stalwart with its newly fitted engine. She will have a new Name on the side...mine... anyway I will be travelling to Norfolk via the M25 and the M3 with a flat bed foden, if anyone wants anything transporting to norfolk let me know. I can carry maximum around 20 tons...truck is 12 tons..and the bed is about 30 foot long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fesm_ndt Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I had one drive past when I was last in the UK over Shropshire way Beautiful exhaust note Went over to have a look but the owner was packing up so did not want to disturb him so video would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibi boy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 How did it go? All ok i hope. So have you taken it out for a play yet? I spun mine around the yard the other evening at work, had to turn it round in workshop so used it as an excuse to play. Not had it down the road in the snow yet, think it would be interesting. When you do play, dont forget the pictures and video! We all love piccy's and vid's :cool2: Cheers Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 bar grips give me no confidence in the snow at all...scary even...but no i have to collect my foden beavertail hopefully today if the weather is workable then drive to norfolk to collect...I cant imagine that will be fun in this weather...would not take much to have me stuck, but the stolly is road legal, taxed and insured and could I suppose haul me out of anywhere, I will need a second driver... will take some piccies once she is back...and during the journey...

Amphibi boy Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yeh i know what you mean, i took mine round the yard at work and you can just feel the bar grips, not bar gripping! So thats stopping me taking it down the road. :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibi boy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Did you get her sorted paul? Although now you have missed playing in the snow! ( it seems to do nothing but pee it down over here at moment) Few weeks ago down in my village was few feet of water in the flooding, would only just about come to top of wheels on the stolly! But i was tempted! :-D Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 had the minor pectoral muscle moved from my chest to my arm to connect it to my weakened bicep to make it work. hopefully this is the penultimate operation, 5 so far, to fix my arm as best it can be after the stupid lady who pulled in front of me when on my motorbike,nearly killed me. I am lucky to be alive.....makes me even happier than normal... bad news is I have had an allergic reaction to something,pos the anaesthetic or the dressing and am now covered, whole body, in a very very itchy rash......

ArtistsRifles Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Looks nice Paul! Why the mis-match on tyres between the front/rear stations and the centre? Was this intentional or???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
