Bit like ironing board sledging in Iowa, Mike.

That'll be a harrowing experience.

I have been wondering what an encabulator was. Now I know. Superb in depth and easy to follow explanation.

We have been having problems getting a suitable field due to ground conditions. Hopefully it will be resolved very soon. I will post details as soon as I can. Also there will be an horticultural class again. The last time the horticultural class attracted a lot of interest.

Web site has gone down. I believe provider has gone bust. Date is :- Sunday 6th May. Entry details to :- Norman Elliot. Brookfield, Kirklinton, Carlisle. CA6 6EF. 01228 675336. (mobile. 07831 127 138) Closing date for entries :- 14th April. I will be taking some entry forms with me to the Tractor World show at Edinbrugh. I should be on the VHGMC stand or thereabout.

Hi Dave. Looking forward to it. I'll be bringing some entry forms for the Hethersgill Vintage Club rally. Problems with the website. Provider has gone bankrupt I believe.

Class 8 Jonathan. Horticulture. Indoor.

That looks grand, George. Wish my furrows would come out like that.

Are you going to make a cover for the battery, Ian? I think it could do with one.

Paperwork arrived today. Good job I've booked an hotel. Caravans and campers only. No tents. That should have been on the entry forms. I could have ended up sleeping under Jonathans camper.

Yeah! But you keep finding something to fill the space. Sell as is, Joe.

Nice job, Alain.

Not a problem to me. Nothing like the good old English chippy.

Superb work, Richard.

Swmbo went to the green grocers in Wigton for some cabbage for Timothy, her beloved rabbit. "Sorry there's a shortage," the assistant said. "We have to import it as we can't grow it in this country." WHAT! Since when? Don't know what those green things I've seen in the fields and allotments are then?

I agree with Alain. If it fired and ran, should be ok.

Pity your at t'other end of this Septic Isle to me, Ian. I could have helped you out with body work and carb.

Don't you just love modern electrickery. Oh for the days of three fuses, no idiot lights, gadgets and gizmos.

Portly Nigel. Portly.

I like how you've borrowed the customer's washing line. The ground must be dry down there. Up here the wheels would have just spun.

Now that is a BIG BOYS toy.

It originally had those steel spoked wheels, Andrew. Just a pea sized pebble would stop a wheel turning. I found the wheel spindles were the same size as series Land Rover front spindles. Having a complete set of hubs lying about and more wheels than enough, I thought it a good idea to fit them. I had to widen the saw bench axle to get clearance for the tyres. The SB axle is square bar with the ends turned down for the spindles. This was cut in half and tube a neat fit used to extend the axle. Welded in place of course. Draw bar from more stuff lying about and the jack came from a now defunct trailer at the farm.

Toe nail trimmer? The tracked one in the first photo' looks interesting.

One of the steamer men at Biddenden had a trailer that flat packed. Good idea.

Will 4 be enough for you, Alan?
