I don't speak Polish so don't know what the description reads like - but I do know that the price translates to UK£6,960.

 

Potential BARGAIN!

Re: What a beauty?

That's a cracking piece of kit, getting it from Poland should be a pleasure rather than a hassle, a huge number of Poles speak English and its a very friendly place to visit, cheap diesel and load up on Zubrowka vodka to bring back.

You could be right Joe, it would certainly be a bit more comfortable for cross country use than my current transport but maybe not quite so dramatic smiley .

Or my husband reckons Konik's Tail vodka which he thinks is even better

Afraid I am a vodka luddite so I bow to his superior wisdom

Zubrowka is bison grass vodka a distinct vanilla taste which unlike the flavoured efforts tastes natural

You could be rightfrown .

The recent  Scottish government backed Land Reform Review Group are proposing a legal cap on the amount of land an individual can own and they also want to return one million acres to public ownership in the next five years.

It probably hasn't helped matters that my billionaire Danish neighbour has bought an additional 200,000 acres of adjoining estates in the last few years and has decided to eradicate the local deer herds so he can plant trees. 

His deer ' management ''  and his plans to alter the landscape of ancient glens through forestation has not gone down well with the local communities who have formed protest groups and are lobbying the Scottish Parliament for more powers to prevent this under the Land Reform Act.

When the time comes hopefully I will still be left with enough land for a bit of offroad fun smiley.

Big Block,

As ever, its always a pleasure seeing your kit and thanks for sharing. If it makes you feel any better, once my numbers come in, I too shall be getting some toys like yours, though I will have to make space for a 6x6 Uber wagen. First person I am going to roll up and see will be PRW (its been a while wink), park outside his place and when people ask, say 'Yeah mate, just delivering it back from its cleaning, he flew it all the way to LA and now he wants it back' 

As for your neighbor, that is so similar to my problems with my neighbor! I had the same problem with mine, huh! she wanted a flower box on the window next to mine and wanted to plant daffodils! Well I started a pressure group, and finally she changed back to lupins as I see it we have similar problems, just who do these people think they are changing the landscape like that? laugh

Once again, many thanks for sharing always a pleasure yes for me and I am sure a lot of other members!
