At one time, I think it was generally considered that a .com for us in UK was an abroad domain, not just the USA, anywhere abroad in the WORLD In fact, often when searching on Google for example, I would avoid a .com at one time.....
However, .coms are considered to be 'easier & quicker' to type in & search therefore far better, a .com commands a higher price for the domain too of course.
I don't think these days it would matter at all, BUT, if you had the .co.uk as well as .com after my old machine, the searches could be linked, no one would know if it ended up on myoldmachine .com or whatever... but it would certainly attract more searches getting to the site... but, at a price of course.. unless of course you hold the domain already.....
It only looks nice on Christmas cards in my book!!
I'll find some pictures later where it drifted over the top of our single track lane and froze!! In places it was like driving through a tunnel!! That was a -16 recorded 2 years ago.. to me, that WAS cold!
My T140 was a bit of a special too, Lester Alloys/Bates lights/Extended forks/US Export Tank bbrrrrr.. it's bringing back memories now.
It wasn't when they came out I had it you must understand, I'm a trifle too young for that.
We used to herd up cattle on a BSA C15 too, then progressed to Husky & Maico's but they were just far too highly strung. The cattle absolutely hated them and it just became impossible, let alone not good for the beasts!
Using little two stroke mopeds was no good either, the cattle thought it was Gad bees swarming & run around like possessed lunatics with their tails in the air... ah memories.........
I was very fortunate, and indeed quite proud a week ago, to be in the presence of probably more than 25 County Conversions at a collectors property... That was quite possibly one of my own personal highlights of the decade... for obvious reasons no names mentioned, but I felt highly honoured to be there!
Ahhh Neil, breaking my heart there.. the Triumph T140...... THE one I should never have sold... I'm gonna weep now, I can feel it........................
For us anyway, not so much like the kit they use in the USA on the odd few thousand miles across the plains.
County tractors still to date create massive interest over here, especially in Forestry work. I have quite a few friends with County & Roadless too... it's all about Traction!!

I'm afraid anything 80's onwards doesn't even get a shot here!!
