That's quite a nifty setup.

Dont think I'd like to travel in the back though, I get a bit claustrophobic
in the back seats of three door cars. Mind you it's probably more airey in
the Disco, they have two sunroofs don't they?

and alpine lights. You'd find it short of knee-room if more'n about 5'4"
high, I expect. However, 's fine for kids, which is the point of the
exercise.

's actually a container to hold harrows, harchery for the use of. I had an
unused piece of sewer pipe after re-building the drainage here, and thought
"aha, that'd make a nifty container for arrows", trouble was the ends cost
about 17 quid!

Umm, read the URL I quoted. It disagrees with that. The only exception
is "Urban buses which are designed to carry standing passengers".
Everything else made since 1st Oct 2001 has to have them.

Which is what I was referring to. As opposed to Coaches that happen to
be performing stage carriage duties.

dunno. I've just bought a bow meself, otherwise I might've been interested.

Put 'em on ebay - archery stuff seems to go for fair prices, 'specially
decent mainstream sort of things like Hoyt.

Oooh, sorry to mention it but your wheel arch is rotting in just the
same place as mine. (Mine doesn't have daylight behind it yet,
though!).

Now, do I waste money on a rust killer or just slop a bit of waxoyle
on it? (I'll try the opposite to whatever you tried!)

It were like that when I got it. I'll patch it one day, when I've suitable
time and a bit of suitable metal to hand.

I just try to keep mine clean and dry ..... but it *is* a Land Rover,
so I'm probably wasting my time.

One side was very rusty when I bought it (as an Approved Used Vehicle)
so I got them to paint it. I'd like to think they made some attempt
to stop the rust - rather than just painting over the top of it - but
it's coming through again now (2.5 years later).
