Re: What have you been doing, other than boating
That’s a good vehicle for loading boats into! I have a VW Touran and that’s pretty good, but too narrow to lay the engine down across the boot.
Not a complete idiot - some parts are missing.

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating
Mowing the lawn again! I hate lockdown - another good weather day stuck on terrafirma.
Hopefully start making my battery/fishfinder box later. Excuse the mess at far end, still waiting for work to be completed round the bbq hut, and new topsoil to level that end too.

Why am I here - I should be in my boat fishing!!

You could add a lake there with room to spare and go boating everyday !!

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating
Can still go boating but wanted to feel like I was on a boat for the evening so I dropped the top and windshield. My son and I had a blast touring around the area with a lot of strange looks.
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating
Ooooh! Nice. Nice. Nice.
That’s one hot tow truck. Loving the alloys and low profile rubber. Seats for the crew to boot. Cool.
Makes our li’l ole Husqvarner tractor just ‘so last year’ Doh.
Sadly Aerotec long gone but the ‘Husky’ lives on to fight another day.

Re: What have you been doing, other than boating
Can that little tractor really get all the way from Derby to the seaside?
