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.

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 !!

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.

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.
