vulgalour Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Bub once again proving that no good deed goes unpunished there. Can you not just ignore the cab rot, spray some febreeze in the wooden bit and hang up some Kath Kidson nonsense to make it a high value camper? Guaranteed returns.

bub2006 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'm not fussed overall. Expense I didn't really want 6 days before an holiday but it's good to be able to help out a fellow shiter.

Pillock Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I can't,it's in my vision!Use the seat height adjuster. Anyway El Bollox, so impressed you've pulled this off. Looking forward to seeing that sarcastic gimp getting a tour on Grand Designs when you finish the real ale waterfall and illuminated portaloo.

Mally Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yea but I've got to pay an excess. You certain about that bub?We had had a few and don't remember ever paying.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I just did a quick 'drive by' with Mrs Nuts and the fleeting glimpse she got of it was brief enough to not do any lasting damage thankfully. Probably do another tomorrow at a slightly lower speed. Kiltox, Eddie Honda, Wingz123 and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably do another tomorrow at a slightly lower speed.Keep trying it at increasingly slower speeds until she either chins you or asks to look properly. Either way you will know the outcome sooner or later. I was impressed at the lack of clag too. Sounds sweet and seems to pull well.

scruff Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Most excellent Bollocks. I've done a bit of Dodge 50 piloting and they are a nice old crate. There are some mint cabs about from army RB44s that have done fuck all but you may need to get deeper into the military vehicle brotherhood than you are comfortable with. Bit late now, but yes I do drive a low loader and am happy to help anyone else having a mental breakdown and buying something similar.

barmatt Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Any excuse to chuck up a couple of pics of my mates old Dodge 50, he bought it as a flatbed, found a caravan of about the right length and bolted them together. A quick coat of nato green and Bob's your wotsit... awesome truck, even had a little wood burner in it for extra coziness.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sorry guys I am not going to be able to give you a full photo review of this old hulk this evening! Just too much shiz on.

Dan_ZTT Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Were you somewhere on the m40 at 12ish/1ish this afternoon?

chodweaver Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'm already starting to view this big blue bastard as a rather handsome slab. The lack of overhang at the back is still a bit weird though, but overall, the proportions are great. Unfeasibly cheap to acquire? CheckCollecshun achieved only through help of a Bub?
