    Tractor run..but for how much longer?

    In early June there is a tractor run scheduled to take place. I have taken part in the past....in the series 111! I know people think of the series Land Rover as a glorified tractor, but when you see some of the modern tractors there is nothing glorified about a series Land Rover. Anyway it is run to raise money for various charities. The GREEN PARTY want to ban tractor runs owing to the emissions.
    Last time I joined in I brought up the rear and it was nothing to do with the fact that the tractor in front of me was being driven by a young female. I found it hard to concentrate on the distance between my bumper and the rear three point linkage on the tractor. You see it was a fairly modern tractor and she was sitting high up. The only suspension in the tractor was the seat....
    Anyway like I said the GREEN PARTY want to ban these.

    There is a thread running here at the mo regarding driving up the arse of a vehicle in front.

    I reckon it is also a Warning to Tractor Perverts it could have been very serious if you got your Rad Panel entwined with the Linkage in front. Where would you get another genuine Rad panel to suit your Rover? Think on Spud.

    No surprise there. Wowsers and zealots the lot of them. They'd ban breathing if they could.

    I was thinking, but it had nothing what so ever to do with a series radiator or a tractor linkage

    You're a strange man Spud. I've never found tractors that interesting.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    This may blow your frock up Spud. These blokes got under my feet, multiple times, as l passed them in both directions, as I delivered fuel to Karumba.
