I don't envy you working outside on heavy plant.

Done some repairs inside the bowels of a combine harvester this summer. It reminded me why I gave up on the agricultural repairs.

It has been cold though.

Hows the build coming on Les ?

I use to be an agricultural engineer too, had my fair shair of welding up broken loader frames in mid winter and grinding in valves in some farmers draughty cow shed or replacing some dodgy fitting hydraulic hose when you cant feel your fingers on a cold winters morning! nope, never again.... main dealers VW workshop for me!!! 22 degrees c in winter and a coffee machine close to hand too! cant beat it!

been there, got the T shirt, didnt like it, changed it for something more sensible!

nothing wrong with changing a set of straw walkers in mid summer catching some rays and admiring the landscape!!

"done it!"

Wow that single seater is gorgeous, makes modern F1 cars look like "proper gompers"...yeah they are fast blah blah but they are hideous play station things and as for the racing....well I sooner watch paint dry

Moto GP on the other hand is a different bag of onions and WILL have you on the end of yer seat even shouting at the telebox
