When it comes to Landrovers, split personaities, insane thoughts and
like minded friends are compulsory.....to find these traits in a woman
that is prepared to admit to them is extremely rare.

Unless 'Lizzy' is just 'Steve' in a dress and makeup.........?

After the unofficial Welsh meet several denizens of afl can vouch for us
being separate entities. And neither of us was wearing a dress and/or
makeup.

Cheap trailer: back end of an old 90/88 and a couple of bits of box
section to make an A frame. With an unbraked standard coupling you'll
be able to put about 400 Kg in it legally, and quite a bit more if your
brakes are up to it. Take the diff out of the axle to save weight.
Works for me, as they say.

hmmm. but are we talking "crappy sankey" or "decent sankey"?

I build 'em new, from new parts, normally. Obviously, they cost more than
an old second-hand one, but I've seen some real dogs of second-hand
trailers, which cost you as much again to get 'em into decent condition.

Such things as having a spare pair of LR wheels or suchlike reduce the cost,
of course - new pair of wheels an tyres can easily cost you 100 quid.

nah, not any more. 'twas quite a while ago. Mind, we did have some
interesting birth and pregnancy problems about then (in the goats...)

But of course I can weld - not very well, but then our 8 year old gets
more practice than I do :-(

For some reason kids seem good at learning to weld. As a joke one of
the lads at work got my 10 year old boy to run some welds on a couple of
test pieces and then sent them away for x-ray - and they passed.

Nah, seen 'em both together in one place at the same time. Definitely two
people. Bonkers, but definitely two people.

.....It's a hard road finding the perfect woman, but your man seems to
have done the impossible. My only fear for him, is that if you have
these excellent traits, you must have some nasty ones hidden away to
balance things out!

I never thought to get my boys into welding....time to drag the Mig out
and have a play.

Everyone, women and men have nasty traits - that's normal.
Speaking as someone who also has a very capable bird who likes
landies, I can say that Lizzy, like my own brand of woman known as a
'Charlotte', is quite acceptable and not likely to be traded in under
any circumstances.
