Nice farmyard! That's going to make some nice housing one day!


Also interested to know if it's an ex co-op farm?

There's one adjacent to a shoot we go to, fantastic scenic location, big farmhouse, lots of out buildings, derelict and has been found by 'hoodlums', so a few broken windows.

Not sure, to be honest. It was built in the late '40's as a model farm, replacing an earlier range of buildings, but was never really successful and has been abandoned for years.

All of the buildings in that photo will be demolished and some flats built on the site to the right of the track. The resulting space to the left and several acres of land beyond it will become public open land officially defined as a SANG. Darren

Ha, ha, not with these ones. If it was a nice Victorian range of buildings then maybe (I've designed those sorts of conversions in the past), but these are 1940's austerity-spec and are full of asbestos. Darren

Fitted the Optimill rear hinge set, I have long been a fan of Optimill products due to the high quality of their products but these have “upped” the bar again for me. Very impressed and have made the backdoor easier to close even with the gas strut I have fitted.




What makes them an even nicer accessory to my Defender was they only cost me £80.00 brand new from a great guy on eBay Thumbs Up but to be honest having fitted them even at the full price of £240.00 I would still be very impressed with them. 2015 HT XS 90

Nice one Sulisuli. They look great, I just wish Optimill would make versions with grease nipples.

Fit a silencer to the Eberspacher. I just need another clamp to fit more pipe out of the silencer pointing down.

Also fit some 235:85s I have lying around to see how they look. Front look okay but back are lost in the arches.

Very nice.
I'll be eventually changing out mine for some secure hinges, and Optimill look great. Regards

Your brother does not have many belongs then! However, when you think about it a comfy chair a few tools and a chainsaw is all you need Smile For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
