Yep, no border of any colour.

It’s only a rumour, but the last 3 may be my initials 🤣

Then you'd have to stay awake and listen.🤣🤣 W says my voice lulls her to sleep. My driving used to lull the ex to sleep. First time she ever crossed the channel, 1979, I drove up to Scotland seeing all our brit friends on the way. We drove...

Wots in mean Doggie..

Why would you need them in yer loft...

Bought many moons ago, at less than 10% of its current value.

Evening all got a wee breeze outdoors still got me kilt on tho. 🤣 🤣

Is there a setting that reads things aloud rather than wearing my eyes out 🤣 🤣

As long as no white border 😀

Mine has red reflective ones, which according to research, is as it should be.

Probably illegal then, maybe they are for artics 🙂

It looks really nic, and I bet the reg number is worth as mcuh, or nearly as the tratter!

Nah. The devils got one.

I fink mine has them, can't member wivout lookin.

I bet he drives one too. Although I doubt I'll get to see it :(

God loves a Tratter 90.

Required on trailers over 1.3 meters wide. Now I'm not sure about triangular reflectors, some have a white surround and I cant remember why, I think it may be the length of trailer ????

Day 3 of post-build euphoria. I’ve taken Flo, out for a coffee.

Oh dear, our own union rep out on the warpath.

News looks grim. How you doing?

I have to agree, if I am honest, it is far enough away to be reassuring more than anything else, but the ones on the front, really cannot see the point of them. The box trailer has front ones quite high up and they got dead annoying. I suppose...

Just got through most of servicing the big machine, exhaust tappet needed a bit of tightening, cleaned the airfilter as best as poss without getting a new one. Can't find the part number easily, grr! Spark plug gap was fine but it shows it's been...

I mean the rubber light stalks, I dont find the little light a problem. J

I have to agree about stalks etc. My old box trailer has the vertical posts you use to lock it down with i.e. to stop it moving when parked and being loaded etc. They are right on both rear outer corners, so visible in mirrors, but not annoying...

Just cleared a small job on me tratter to do list. About a year ago I couldn't get the nut undone on the battery negative terminal clamp. It's a bolt with a conical spacer set vertically through the terminal, so tight it was at risk of damaging...

Seems the "mudball" is in a bit of a huff, As I havent driven it for 🤔............ a while. It has decided to let some air out the bottom of 1 of its tyres, why do they never let it out the top cos you could at least drive it only being flat on...

Lights on trailers is a simple reg requirement as to what and how many due to length/width, am sure some manufacturers will add more. I actually like the rear marker stalks on our big trailer, which has markers on the side and the front none of...

Got a strange experience when I first drove my tratter. At night I can see the car behind and its headlights, looking like the car is coming straight at me from the front. All due to reflections from the vertical rear window reflecting off the...

I have just harvested yet more "haricots verts". We have so many, (and W doesn't eat them) that I think I am going to try and make them into soup. Maybe do the same with the beef toms which are suge! ;)

I find the forward facing marker lights on mine a pain, even though they aren't bright, they keep catching my eye and making it difficult to see vehicles lurking behind them. I don't even know why you have to have them. Sideways facing, I would...
