Indeed it is. The green stripe along the bottom isn't there, it's now
all yellow.

There are some piccys of it before I got it at:

http://www.sbarr.demon.co.uk/110/

Apart from the green stripe missing and it now wearing different wheels
and tyres that's pretty much how it looks now.

Oh, also the lightbar isn't fitted and it's up for sale if anyone wants it.

No plans, it's not a working vehicle anymore. I use it for my everyday
transport and laning. The only time it ever gets filled up is on the
family camping trips and dump runs.

I realised after posting that there are other differences from the pics.

The steps are no longer fitted, the sills have been taken off and it's
now fitted with a Scorpion extreme steering guard.

But it is still yellow! That's what drew me to it in the first place.

I could find out the make and model if you're interested and take a
couple of 'photos's...

I have absolutely no idea how much they cost, so I'll get some details off
it and try and find out.

At the moment it's just taking up space in the garage and I can't really
see me ever using it.

I doubt I would, either - but it'd be handy when doing things with the big
trailer, maybe.

I've just been giving this some thought.

Over the few years that I've been reading this group I reckon that I've
learnt quite a lot from the advice you've given me and others, all free
of charge.

If you really want the lightbar you can have it, gratis. Maybe we could
work out some way of getting it to you by passing it between people who
post here?

It was fully working before being taken off my 110 and has high and low
intensity settings, I didn't take it off though so I have no idea how it
was wired up.

well, 's nice of you to say so. I don't rate charging for that kind of
advice, meself. 's a differnt story if you (for example) were to say "come
over and look at my vehicle and see if you can fix it" or suchlike. A fair

a good bit comes from other people, and most of that comes for free as well

Mind, not sure of the legalities of lightbars... I suspect you're probably
OK if they're not blue ones

Whereabouts are you? I have a few trips to various areas planned during the
summer.

Mid Wales

about half-way between Aberystwyth and Carmarthen, for a first
approximation.

if you want accuracy, I can email grid refs etc.

Just my way of saying thanks, If we weren't miles apart I could buy you a
pint or two in the local. I cant ever see me using it so if you've got a
possible use then you're welcome to it.

North Hertfordshire. If you're not coming this way maybe I can take it to
one of the shows this year and pass it on, either direct or to someone
a bit nearer to you. Occasionally the local area rep for glass makes
trips to Wales to go laning I'll ask when he's next going.

hmmm. Overton sounds the nearest to that. where *is* hertfordshire? ah.
no, Overton ain't that near. oh well, twas a thought. There's always the
chance that I might get to one of the LR shows this year.

I'm not sure which shows I'm going to yet, most likely Billing and the new
Peterborough one, maybe the LRO one in its new location too.

I'm sure we can sort something out.

Eastnor appeals to me on account of not being the wrong side of the country.
I forget where they all are, this year, anyway.

I think the LRO one is on your side of the country this year, Malvern or
something like that. That one used to be good for me, nip up the A1 to
Peterborough, hour drive thats all, now they've moved it, buggers.
