Just popped over to Fuerteventura to pick up this bad boy from our enduro pals.
Now we can have trips over there. And will be cool when I go to Portimao in June.
Opens up lots of opportunities.
I brought a trailer over from UK but trailers here need proper paperwork.

Germany is the same for trailers. I've one I have to register, happily it's a shop bought one with a certificate of conformity. I see plenty of home built ones being used on the road so presumably there's either an inspection possibility or grandfathering rights.

You two live in nanny states! In Britain we have the right to a good old-fashioned home-built trailer!

Scrap metal should be secured with chains, not fabric ratchet straps

I was wondering how much of that was structural...

Dead to me.
Bud-fucking-weiser? Even at 50c a bottle I couldn't bring myself...
Hey lads. Gather round..
Look left. Looks right..
Good, the Cockney wanker banker isn't here.
It was shit. Taste was OK but was flat as a fart. Even poured 2 bottles into a glass and hardly a bubble.
Hmm.
Had same offer again and hoped for better results.
Wow. What a difference. Tastes just like I remember

It's all mass produced piss. I can't be bothered to Google who owns what but the original beer will be brewed to around 7%-8%. When it's bottled/canned etc, it's diluted to give it the correct ABV for that brand. Several different brands with different ABV's can come from the same batch of beer. An example of this for those in the UK is Carling and Madi, I bet you cant tell the difference in a blind taste test. The Bud in the pic is 5%, get similar beer from Aldi and Lidl and see if there's a difference.

I try all the beers. But it's nice to have a new one for a change

I sometimes buy Estrella damm, or should i say Daura Damm as its Gluten free. I could quite happily spend an evening on that stuff as its not like a shitty euro fizz lager, and it makes a nice beer batter. I find the higher the ABV the less the taste so stick to between 4 - 5%. I remember having a beer tasting session in Belgium and when you start getting up to 8 - 9+% its like a bottle of yeast.

I used to love Estrella beers and always drank them Spain where every bar around Tarragona has them. But lately i've gone off of lagers, as I find them all
tangy , so I mainly drink cider now.

A Horl 3 Cruise.
Picked it a month or so back for my new knives, between a store sale and my companies discount scheme it wasn't as spendy as it could have been.
Super simple to use, super quick results (albeit I'm only touching up 2 month old knives which have been used twice a day) can't fault it really.
