Some pictures of my '06 Duramax, my first diesel not sure what kind of chip it's got but it's got lots of power, our '83 Triple E fifth wheel camper on our way west to Alberta and British Columbia last year, got a little over 300,000km on the odometer in the Duramax and so far have been pleased with it. And also my 2009 Chevy Colorado 4x4 first vehicle I ever bought brand new (and probably the last) with about 195,000km on the odometer pictured near Nordegg, AB on the Forestry Trunk Road on the Canada Day Long Weekend. And my 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. that I traded for an Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail last year. The Sportsman was a fantastic machine and I kinda regret trading it in....

That was for dairy cattle but I'm sure your horses would eat it too!

For the right price I can deliver a load anywhere for ya.

Here is one that I don't often drive, I am usually way to dirty! The first was at an old house I was about to demo.

My personal rig? Unfortunately living in the UK means running a big truck just isn't economical, and with being a family man, I run an estate car.......all be it a damn quick estate car.

nice 20v Quattro, all that French wiring around it could be upsetting it though!

I do love the sound of the 5cyl on full tilt, wish I had bought an s2 a couple of years ago, there going back up again in price now

currently looking for a 2.3 20v cabby or coupe to do a charity rally in next year, needs to be cheap though, as its a banger rally.

last years car raised £1000 for a local hospice, hand painted the whole thing, whole car and paint etc came in at £450
drove from north notts to Barcelona over three days then 24hrs back to north notts

Current truck is a 2008 GMC 2500hd 6.0 gas burner towing my rock buggy. Am starting to collect parts to build a low profile minimal trailer for the buggy.
