Longer when towing with any overhang of the rear body beyond the pintle, or towing a W/W truck - otherwise short as possible so that vehicle interferance isn't an issue on your tightest expected turn. Tight turns not recommended. The inside tube on a turn will try to buckle if there is a lot of...

I'd hazard a guess as 5 years or 800 posts or more - whichever comes first!!! ...... Keep typing, keep learning.... Oh yeah, it helps if you own a whole motor pool too! Heck - I've had/been around MV's for 35 years but only last year got an M816... I'm ok with being a neub again. .... Then...

TKM - I have to concur with Sandcobras comment, post #18. It takes a brave and humble fellow to fess up to a big screw up on a semi public forum, full of all of the 'older' - been there, done that types, mods, grammar police, TM junkies etc., etc. You did this for the greater good, your...

OK - So you're banned!(In my little world!) :D You might as well have finished the pics with the caption "Now follow that - suckers" or "Ner-ne ner-ne ner-ner". You could at least have started off the thread with a paper aeroplane, small flower arrangement, turned salad bowl, coat hook...

You got that right - feeble isn't strong enough! You need more practice... Bring it on Baby! I Live here, married to an American, a Southerner to boot! I get razzed nearly every day! Now go write out one hundred times - "I must try harder". :beer: Cheers!

Lance - I'm glad you are keeping info available on this, I know it's tough for Becky at the moment. I will try to make it. Also, do you have any details on the Bouckville car show, end of June - new this year, I saw Lorna this weekend and apparently they are looking for a military showing too...

Every chance - but I'll let you do the shopping! I'll pm you my address etc. Was thinking about the whistler thing - all I came up with was Woolfie (as in wolf whistle) though remembering Woolfie Smith "Power to the people"... Or something like Val - could be thought of as a woman in your life...
