Meet chatter


Re: Meet chatter

Postby snapper on Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:06 pm

While we're on about plan 'B's here's my Plan B well it would be if work still payed out the annual bonus in the beginning of May rather than the end of May :evil:

Still very tempted though, (she would divorce me if I did mind) reckon it would look pretty good tricked out with a decent lift, some new wider boots, front n rear winches and some nice art work. Oh and not forgetting a gas kit to help getting the 'interestingly' mapped beast from one filling station to another lol
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

You say that but have you seen how shiny a 2p is if you leave it in coke for a while, but your right fosters will probably just make it rust :D
