Eeee I think my dream job over the summer would be something along the lines of this... Out in the country roaming the fields checking on the cattle! Fill me up with biscuits and as long as I have my mp3 player I'll be in my element haha
Yes but before you run off into the hills in search of your Mule, make sure you have a good camera mount first! Anyway, why would a man of your calibre need to do a job like this? Its alright for you, your breads butterred, on both sides. You have the world at your feet, fancy new Defender, inventor of new camera mount technology, producer/director of high speed action movies and no doubt letters after your name!! You need to maintain your standing, not Mule driving across moors/fells/moss!
@DingleZilla Haha well when you put it like that... But my camera mount met its fate rolling around in the back of the Defender and is now buggered. Quite a lot like the Defender really.... I've got a Freelander 2 now untill further notice! But no, there are no letters after my name, I got a temporary job in the winter of 2004 and unfortunately I'm still there today, still trying to decide what I want to do when I grow up haha
mrsoupdragon don't tell me aif a tale man!!! What gone wrong???? Defender & buggered in the same sentence! This is a disaster, but, at least you have somehow managed to get a Freelander 2? HOW???? This is proof positive that the one known as mrsoupdragon is indeed someone of great importance! Nay, National Importance maybe a celebrity or well healed landed gentry type? Land Rover must hold you in great respect, unlike my peasant like self of only 43 Land Rovers! I DingleZilla doff my cap!
@DingleZilla Haha well I have been on the front page of the citizen and been on that 'quality' radio station 2BR, although I don't think that entitles me to any special Land Rover treatment. But the roof needs replacing or repairing due to the paint work resembling an abused Series farm hack, and the drivers side door sill is dropping to bits so it's found itself at a 'Land Rover Approved' bodyshop. Build quality at Land Rover is still at an all time low it seems! It's only my third Landy too!
mrsoupdragon, No wonder your being spoilt with fancy Freelander 2 courtesy vehicles, your a local celebrity, man of social standing, integrity & influence! I am sure Land Rover will be seeking out the culprit that made your Defender, no doubt a hefty brummie bollocking will be unleashed prior to a good old fashoined spanking of the posterior! It seems to me, your high status carries much more weight than my long history of buying Land Rovers! Alas, I am just pebble in the quarry of life!
Thanks for your comment. Basically I speak with a Northern English accent which has some unique terms to describe things. Plus I was also shouting "mornin" or more correctly "morning" as a greeting to the Highland cattle. They never answer back, but have been known to charge at, and ram vehicles before today!I am usually wrappped up in my own weird world and forget that I am talking to the animals! I must going a bit bonkers! Regards, DZ.
I wish I had a great span of the moors to drive mine around on... I used to have a place in Somerset where we used it to move logs and equipment around, drive into the woods where theres big bogs etc and it would drive straight through! Even if it got stuck, just winch it out with its winch mounted on the front...
The squeek on the steering is normal, mine does that!!!
Hello youngman, How are you? Yes it is grand it is just a pity I dont own it! Still I do get to do my work up there and I have premission to shoot up there to! Getting stuck is part of the challenge of getting there and back without calling for help! I managed without any issues so avoid the ridicule and micky taking!!!!
Yes, getting stuck is part of the challenge, mind you, these things are hard to get stuck - and when I couldn't recover myself, had to use the unbeatable Landy to get it out!!!
I fine thank's. I love Land Rover's too. The trouble is they need serious flotation tyres to go over boggy moss. The mule can get stuck in a bog like Ian did in my other video. It took two quads and the mule driving itself to unplug it. The mule is a good tool, just need's doors to keep the weather out!
Well Landies are a fair bit heavier anyway! (just let some pressure out and floor it haha). Your luckier than me, mine has no roof, but I have a soft top to go on when its wet with zip on doors, but its a fiddle to get out!!!
Why don't you make a box section steel frame, and weld it on. Then make some door's to fit. Use ply wood as a roof and door bottom panels with perspex for window's. You can do it in a day easy for a man of your calibre!
If you try to sell it good luck. I have been trying to sell my Land Rover and it never got anywhere near the reserve on eBay. £4544 for a 55 plate 90 pick-up with full history, MOT and Tax plus extras. I would keep it if I were you, and find work for it!
Hi BW, You might wish you hadn't got my life most of the time. I am either getting sprayed with shit or sparks! Or splattered with concrete, oil or messing with paper! The good bits are few and far between! But nice when they do come around! Saxon is super fine thankyou. He's been at home all day as I had to meet with my brother to discuss a new type of concrete floor we are involved with developing. He was mighty happy when I got home at 9pm, having left at 8am. Regards, DZ.
Narthen young man, How are you? I work for myself as a welder,fabricator,repairer,driver,trucker,
servicer,dry stone waller,tree chopper,machine operator,reel cutter & any other job that might pay a few shilling's into my mucky hand's! So yes, I have sometimes good but alway's varied job. Regards, DZ
Ah well, you need to diversify my lad, you never know when you need to be able to turn your hand to a new task. Jack of all trades and master of none, well master of some anyway. I have been all over the UK and even Spain on a job. I will work anywhere really if the money is right!
