What I saw Easter Bank Holiday!

[Chrisjkerr]

Forgotten all about this! Having a relaxing game of Badminton at Woodthrope Hall nr Mablethorpe and heard this noise coming from the back of a Landcruiser! Anyone else do this?

I have seen lazy but that must be the ultimate.

 

[spardoe]

Not sure if that is a genius idea or lazy! Would you mind if we printed this in the magazine?
Best wishes, Stacie

Don't jump to conclusions - It might belong to a disabled person who is unable to pull the water carrier manually.

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Seen it many times over the years an old friend (In his 80's) used a 4.2 Jag for his. Nothing common in those days, one had to keep up appearances!

 

[Chrisjkerr]

Stacie, Sure. Print away! Let me know which edition it's in or if you require any further info.

With regards jumping to conclusions. He looked to be in 60's but didn't seem to be infirm or disabled. I'm obviously not a chiropractor but he managed to do all the usual lifting, pegging down, carrying and cleaning that everyone else does whilst away. Maybe 40kg of grey waste was too much to drag 50mtrs to the waste point? Wonder what tow ratio he gets on towcar.info? I'm not sure wastemaster have had the container EC approved for towing!

 

[spardoe]

Thanks Chris. I'll use it in the next issue which is July, on sale 21 May.

 

[ProfJohnL]

Its given me an idea for a new product :cheer: A water master Mover! :lol:

 

[Chrisjkerr]

Lmao John!

If he has congenital heart disease like me, then yes it would be to heavy and to far.

This is a common sight with our more elderly tuggers.
There are posters on here who do use the car for both aquaroll and wastemaster due to hip / knee problems , dodgy tickers and emphacemia.
I don't think it is something to "extract the urine". Sorry to be a miserable old Woosie.

 

[Mel]

I have seen something similar but the "tow car" was a mobility scooter. B)

I had planned on converting a electric golf trolley to pull ours .....
Bad back's worn out knees and various other ailments come with age ... :dry:

 

[Gafferbill]

.......actually it is the latest gizmo for the 4x4 driver.
It is an external battery pack mover to cut down noise and pollution whilst on site.
Can't see it catching on myself........far to heavy to lift up on the roof rack for transport between sites

Sorry Sproket,
My posting demonstrates prior proof of principle, so I'll be after royalties if you make one! :huh:

Not a problem Prof ....

I have found a suitable donor cart for you to give me your views on for prior to manufacture

 

[Parksy]

I like it!
I have to confess that when faced with dragging a 40 litre Aquaroll up a fairly steep slope on a hilly site I've popped the handle over the towball and dragged it with my 4x4.
This was because of heart disease coupled with being unfit and overweight at the time.
Of course, now that I've lost five and a half stones (and counting since joining weight watchers last June) I can pull a full Aquaroll uphill with each arm

 

[ProfJohnL]

Ahh yes...

I also wish to record the invention of the automatic version which automatically detects when the water is getting low, detaches from the caravan and using an auto location system locates the water tap, has the means to automatically fill the container, return and reconnect to the caravan. It also monitors the waste systems, gas, and beer and other essential supplies, and empties or replenishes when necessary. Catches the fish and chips, does the cooking and washing up, Hitches/un-hitches and levels the caravan, puts up the awning, lays the table. It apparently has one major drawback, it makes a noise when its recharging at night. I think I will call it the:-

H - Handy
U - Universal
M - Mamailian
A - Automatic
N - Numpty

 

[WoodlandsCamper]

Brilliant

Very well done
Will we recognise you .............especially if you hide behind your light pole?

 

[Parksy]

Thanks Bill
I'm sure that you'll still recognise me, and I'll turn on the coloured lights on the pole just to make sure

 

[Gagakev]

Very well done Parksy, BUT.......would advise losing a bit more so you can put it back on at the Woosiefest :lol:

 

[Parksy]

I'm a reformed character now Kev, do they do low calorie double chocolate gateaux?

 

[TD42]

reminds me of our old retired commanding officer who used to tow his wheelie bin down to his main gate approx. 6/700 yds ,but on one occasion forgot what he was doing & decided to drive into Canterbury town centre for some errand that had just occurred to him. It was only when he lost it on a sharpish bend that he realized (sheepishly) what he had done

 

[Dustydog]

5 1/2 stone B)
Looks like your belt goes round your waist twice now Steve.
Not sure about giving up all the beer especially Kev's and Sir Aleman's brews.
Well done mate. Looking very slim.
