No, was a lease vehicle, so every time it ended up in the garage they gave us a very expensive saloon/rep mobile as a loan. We nearly broke a few of them too Saws, combicans, climbing kit etc. in the boot, towing a tracked chipper on the trailer - those cars weren't built for it. Plus Stuart who I worked with liked to see how good each car was at J-turns

That reminds me I need to look up some good tyres for the winter, was slipping all over the other day in the field and I don't have a licence nor is it mine! Was doing a favour for me mum and she wants some good tyres.

My brother shagged his old car by putting too much gear (mountain bikes, loads of kit and a weeks worth of clothes for four people) in the back of his car. The suspension was higher at hte front than the read! Lease car though

Lease vehicles are fun

Passed my exam the other day for using a chainsaw. Was a piece of piss to be fair but it means I can now learn how to fell trees... then one day climb them! It is proper hard graft this tree farming lark.

Nice one firks!

How's your back?

 

[Firky]

Feels like I have been shagging. Few more weeks and it'll be alright, it isn't skeletal aches but the muscles ache where they have been worked. I may be built like a brick shit house yet

 

[_pH_]

Heh...you wait till you start climbing and have to do body thrusting on a prussik. That killed me and is prolly why I would be shit at climbing now

 

[Firky]

Bloody hell, this is the kind of job that turns you grey before you hit thirty. I have been felling trees today; in a blizzard. Soaking fucking wet, snow blasting down, sweating like a fat lass in a chip shop and muckle trees crashing down. It is ace

Heated handles are the best invention in the world.
