eddyramrod Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm trying to work out what it'll be.Or even where! There's no guarantee that Sheffield is the destination, for all we know it could be that there London, or Swansea! Ah, wait a moment... what about Chester? Has Billy got anything on offer at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If he's going from the borders to Chester via Sheffield, he'd be doing it wrong! Cross country train so I'm gonna guess down the south west somewhere. Ish. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbaldy Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 After a light lunch we went and picked up the dusty van and I followed Jon back to base. Then after more blethering I was off to the garage to relieve the fuel light of its duties. On the way home many many miles passed and then I saw a nice airport runway so popped in for a drag race. Wow 80 Double wow You can do it. Then I ran out of runway so thought I best skiddadle up the road. Home for 8pm nice one. It was really nice to meet you Jon and your mate and thanks again for the lunch especially the cake.

shedenvy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I've many happy memories pottering around the fields with a topper on the Nuffield version of this (384?). My scariest moment was going up a steep hill with a big fertiliser spreader on the back. The front wheels started to lift of the ground and it started to drift to the left. It snapped round in a full 180 and I trundled back down the hill with my heart in my mouth. Made sure to spread a little more before attempting the hill again. Well bought! garbaldy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
