Hiya Andrew if you find it hard to sheet and rope you should go on your truck runs & rally’s with this outfit !! Plenty of living accomodation in the back and the sides won’t flap when your under way .Cheers Dennis.

And I’ll get rid of this scuffy herbert onto the South Wales thread as well !! I’m keeping all the best ones for my own thread and by the time you have seen all the trailers you should be able to sheet and rope proper like Andrew. Cheers Dennis.( don’t ask who it is I’ll let you guess ).
