a bit of lubrication won't do it any harm ..

but as its one of those days, best not do any chainsawing though

[Kevin Wood]

did you build it yourself?
 i've dreamt of building one for years and have a few bits in garage but arival of baby has kind of put a stop to all spending espescialy in this current climate (god i hate that phrase)

Yes. been on the road 8 years now.

I can't recommend it enough. The experience of building it, getting it on the road, driving it, meeting like-minded friends, tweaking it, upgrading it, etc. has been one of the best things I've done.

It doesn't have to cost a fortune, although don't believe the kit manufacturers when they tell you how cheap you can do it!

They are pretty good value 2nd hand, too, so that may be a good way to get involved without committing too much time and money.

Chainsawing was fine. Managed to rather terminally injure my shredder though.

half the fun to me would be building it even though second hand is probably the cheaper way :-/

but i got zero surplus cash for the next 4 years till the wife goes back to work full time so i'll keep dreaming

The nice thing about buying one 2nd hand is that you can modify it to suit you with a clear conscience. If you build one you always wish you'd made a couple of decisions on the spec. differently but you are less inclined to ditch that engine you lovingly rebuilt for the one you wish you'd used, etc...
