Re: The ebay thread
Had a look around a very nice one at a local show and was amazed how nicely engineered and how practical it was.
Full size spare in a cubby behind the driver, removeable panel for engine access behind that. Hard top stows neatly in the front storage area etc.

Since I looked up Caterfields the other day I’ve had a brain itch about buying a rough project and turning it into a t bucket style hot rod.

Similar-ish, I've wondered about a Jago Geep or Rickman Ranger body on one, mostly to get a roof. I've no idea how the wheelbases compare, not a problem you'd have with a bucketZedLeg wrote: Thu Oct 10, 2024 12:49 pm Since I looked up Caterfields the other day I’ve had a brain itch about buying a rough project and turning it into a t bucket style hot rod.

Re: The ebay thread
We get loads of clients asking if their old stuff is worth anything. Even free it’s just not worth it. Labour just costs too much to make it worthwhile collecting and repurposing 95% of the time.Sundayjumper wrote: Sat Oct 12, 2024 7:49 am There’s probably some good stuff in here:

15+ year old M&E equipment that has a suggested lifespan of 15-20 years, that you have to pay qualified M&E companies to de-gas, crane off roofs and then store until the right job comes along…
Glass partitioning that you have to pay to hump out of the building that’s made for the exact ceiling height so won’t actually fit anywhere else.
Tired old chairs that someone has been wiping snot in for the last 15 years. crappy cheap desks and filing cabinets that may or may not go back together. Only branded stuff like Herman Miller is worth anything.
the catering stuff may find a home.
Overall - i’d be charging them £50k or more to get rid of it all and let the strip out subcontractor piece out the good stuff to sell on ebay.

Re: The ebay thread
I nearly put this in the "want" thread but it's not a car so here we are.
My wife has recently started learning to play the organ (she's the talented musical one in the family, already adept on piano, flute, saxophone) and doing some idle googling came across this. It's awesome, it looks like a freaking space ship

My friend Jason can play the organ, we went back to a mates house all blind drunk and suddenly this talent was exposed to the world. It was one of the most surreal times of our lives when our drunk rugby playing friendly randomly started playing Blackpool Beach 1920s jive musicSundayjumper wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2024 1:15 pm I nearly put this in the "want" thread but it's not a car so here we are.
