time to hook up a slasher to the beddie, 4 tyres tied to the towbar will knock the grass down, looks good for a couple of days ::) ;D ::)
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer

Hey hotrod, I know the feeling, we have 4 acres where we are, I fitted hand controls to my ride-on mower, [ dont trust my wife, if you see her cars body ] it takes me 5hrs just to do the front, then I have the sides and the back, add another 4hrs to that the next day, and there goes the weekend. I came up with the ultimate way to cut the grass and stay out of the 43degree heat that we get. Make friends with your neighbour and let him put his cows onto your property. He walks his 2 cows down to our block and they stay for about 3months and cut the grass dead level all over, I stay out of the heat, and he does'nt buy feed for those 2 for 3 months. Great partnership, twice a year.
Regards
             George............... ;D ;D

Boy putting that roof lining back into the misses commodore was a mongrel of a job. :P Looking back now ,i think i wouldnt put so much fibreglass on one again. It didnt flex enough at first to just put back in ,so was there lying on my back with hands and feet everywhere trying to support it whilst fixing it in place. Finally got there in the end.. :D ;D

Hi Guys, I have just had the guys from novus out to pop all the glass in my beddy, it took them less then 10mins, they were a bit rough and ready, so if they want the job of putting the new glass back in after painting, they will want to be wearing kid gloves and treat my van  like a rolls royce. All I have to do now is book the van to be soda blasted, when they decide to answer their damn phns.
Regards
          George.........Happy vanning... ;D

got the van by the balls, its all downhill from here.. here's a teaser inspired by Dano's impatience..


I'm in the process of making up an introduction.. it's been going on all week, i'm sick of typing.. im sure it'll show in the read.. but im over it..
Plus doing this till 1am then getting up and working on the van is taking it's toll..
you better enjoy it or i'll be murderous..  ;D
