There used to be an old fella at motocross (retired and 66yrs old), he was last every time and was usually lapped by a lot of the field, he wasn't dangerously slow or wobbling about, he was doing ok but he wasn't at race pace.
Fing is, you're all crap right? Unless you're international level (which we're not) there's always someone out there better than you. So demonstrably you're all doing it just for a laugh.Potter wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 4:08 amThere used to be an old fella at motocross (retired and 66yrs old), he was last every time and was usually lapped by a lot of the field, he wasn't dangerously slow or wobbling about, he was doing ok but he wasn't at race pace.
Some of the lads would take the piss, not to his face, but they'd make the odd comment, and I'd always counter by saying that I hope I'm fit enough at 66 to last a full race distance on a motocross track, I had nothing but respect for the bloke.
Welcome to my world!! Can mostly manage now, but still can’t lift a glass to drink from

. Not a bad think as I’ve not slept properly for about 5 nights. 
Critical but stable in ICU. Starting to move his legs and left hand a little bit and also open his eyes. He is breathing unaided but unfortunately has a bad chest infection
Great big pond in the middle, a couple of nice little coffee and ice cream huts. Loads and loads of tree planting and wild meadow making. Only a stroll from the High Street. Some local benefactor allowed/sold some land adjacent to be developed and the park was the quid pro quo. Warms the old cockles that not all house building is just for profit.
Because it's got a paltry 650kg payload. I looked at them briefly earlier in the year, in the end I decided to keep the van, it's got more than double the payload and many times the volume. It does spend most it's time carting bicycles around but I've got some stuff to move later this week which will be 2 trips in the van, lot's of trips in a Ranger Raptor.

All black ranger raptor, 10sp auto thingy. It's got an info screen bigger than my telly!
Head and shoulders better than the last one, and she's getting 35mpg towing 2t around.
If I had more money than sense, I'd have one!
Can't see how any self respecting builder would be without one.

a friend up here has ordered one, in orange Delivery date currently November but he's not convinced it will arrive then!!I have been wondering about that, even before you mentioned the actual payload! He's used to working with a HT LWB Transit - HTF is he going to work out of something so (comparatively) small!! LOLPirahna wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 5:10 pmBecause it's got a paltry 650kg payload.
