What have i missed ?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Welcome back.

I'm more bothered about tin worm than fences at the moment. Hopefully I'll get enough work this summer to pay for it to be sorted out.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Hey Dom. I gave up smoking about 6 years ago now. It gets easier with time, but I still really like the smell...

I'm also losing weight, so I'm a quitter and a loser. Anyhow...

My Sammy is now rebuilt and in a state of usability and recently upgraded to 33s however I plan to do more.

Sold the Mrs Red SJ410 and got her a Jimmy. Currently undergoing some subtle mods but currently sits like this.
