How was the pick up driving on yankee plates? Savage pics though. Also any ideas on where a man would get a set of those roof top lights on the pick up?!?

Just search for cab marker lights on ebay.com
Plenty there to choose from.

Looking at getting some for my Hilux, but I want small neat LED ones.

I'll repost the pics via photobucket later when I've more time so they come up, got to and tear out a Renault gearbox for the third time, not happy :mad:

Slidey

Seeing as you are in bother I edited it for ya. Good luck with the 'box.

Cheers mate, can now do a Trafic clutch in 2 1/2 hrs, never want to see another one again!

That was excavator heaven, got loads more pics. I timed a visit to the Lakes with a VET open weekend. Got a piccies of an SE Davies weekend at Thaxted in 2003 as well, will post next week, off to Charleville tomorrow.

As well as being a rabid Land Rover fanatic, I love old plant and machinery.

MrFoxman360

6.3 ton gross weight :eek: amazaed at how well it can pull though;)




Now obviously I wasn't out on the public road with this as that would not be legal, just thought I'd mention that before someone else does :P

The problem is you will tomorrow with an empty trailer and when there is some sort of failure will you tell the guards that you had that on it yesterday. By the way, the weight is not the biggest problem there, but the way its loaded with the weight to the front of the trailer. That pajero has a reasonably high tow capacity but the nose load is only 100kg. That trailer is probably at least 5 times overloaded bearing this in mind.

I don't understand how this pajero is incapable of pulling a 6 wheel trailer (how many axles, I don't know) safely. I have asked this question here to avoid bringing this thread way off topic.

Yeah, you should at least put the dog in the back of the trailer :rolleyes:

Was there some plant event in Charleville Co. Cork today?
I would have gone but had to go get parts for the jeep

PanhardPL

There is a 2 day show in Charleville this weekend and what you would have seen would have been heading in that direction.
I was there at 9pm Friday and already a large number of Commercials were lined up after a run to Dromcollogher. Quite a lot of have come from East of England for this show and Sunday its expected that there will be a very large turnout of Cars, Commercials & Tractors.
Another road run will take place on Saturday taking in Churchtown and Liscarroll areas.

Hope I'm not breaking forum rules by posting above thread.

I looked at schedule and not clear to me if there is much by way of 4x4 on show

I met that cavalcade. It was quite bizzare.

Some pictures taken at SE Davies collection at Thaxted in 2003.

A few pics of a recent trip to New Zealand, I did see some scenery but won't bore you with that!

Slidey

Some taken from working in QLD in Oz.









This was a track trencher I drove for a short while. Hateful hateful yoke! Made a sweet trench to work in though. Record for one day was 800m of trench dug and pipe layed, mind you, it was a long day!

Yeah Iv had the plesure of working on the same site as one of those in Germany a few years ago and it was a long week. My ears are still ringing.:D

I always maintained it was like sitting in a very noisy old plane, just when they wind up the engines while holding the brakes before take off, except it lasts for 12hrs and is about 35c in the cab and you have to get in and out about 5 times an hour to move the theodolite..

Currently sitting waiting for rescue near Donore in Meath







Think the lesson here is to know when to admit defeat and call for help before you fcuk things up like so!

Sorry about the delay in replying, I forgot too

I think one of them drove there alright but it was a few years ago. Not sure if the owner would sell, he is kind of a horder. I'll ask. They are in Roscommon BTW.

Must be a bus to Limerick :D:D

Looks like Allelys have a new toy.
Spotted in Dublin Port today.
They were dismantling the trailer at the time.
Anyone know what they were hauling?

Hermy

A few more from Dublin Docks...

A dangerous looking load. There's a lot of this junk in the port at the moment. I wonder where it's all being shipped to.


Wood this be a roof of some kind?:o






A heavy haulage rig from Dutch firm Westdijk. I hope the driver didn't mind me following him for the pics!

Slidey

I believe nearly all that junk heads to Africa.

There would be a bit of minding in pulling that load of timber in Ireland!

Hermy

I reckon they'd not get on the road till near midnight and with an escort vehicle or two.
Same as when the parts for the wind turbines are hauled over land.
