A vario is still part of the master plan,
Don't worrie about that, did I mention that I recently paid for a 3 ton kubota mini excavator.
That cost of renting one long term wasn't practical , so buy good second hand one use for 3 or 4 months and sell.

Just waiting again by the gate for them to deliver it.........

Heck, fit her up with some rc control and you have a 1/3 scale?? LOL

Nice one Andy! She looks very nice, orange and black suits it! Might want to edit the end of the video and not want to advertise where you live though.

I've always wanted a 67/68 C10 swb f/s but finding one here let alone for a reasonable price is bordering on impossible.

Keep us updated. Al least you are not far from Meremere, expect those times to fall! ;)

Re: done a bad thing
 

been a bit busy lately and no time for RC stuff.
But , have made a few changes in the shed and life style.
11 years working for a company and things were going tits up and got offered voluntary redundancy , well lets just say it didn't take long to make a decision.

After I finish moving 15 tons of topsoil someone comes along who owns a digger . But travel time would have been a killer . Good luck in your new venture Andy and don't forget to take your car for a regular drive ! Mike

Re: done a bad thing
 

Upwards and onwards. I was in a similar industry for 16 years and got out of it at Christmas, I now just drive trucks, less money but much happier and more time at home.

My new boss has a 71 roadrunner, errr, orange and black. Its very nice, but I can't help but think it looks likes it's wearing goggles and needs a snorkel. I much prefer your shape.

All the best with your future endevours mate. :)
