GaryD1971 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 And I'm still not sure which bit I live in yet.... 😂 Quote
Nemesis Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 Well I reckon I can help there..... if you need a boat then it's the Swamp bits, if you have to tie the boat up a lot then it's the tidal bits.... and if a simple bilge pump will work for you then it's got to be land bits..... hope that helps ! 1 Quote

As long as the boat is better than those hired out on the Broads I should be OK! 😂 To be fair, I could use all three options at times depending on how the weather treats us Norfolk folk. 😁 Quote
Nemesis Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 I just had a thought..... Westfields are so light.... (with the exception of mine @730KG's) you could mod yours with swamp buggy tires and fit an outboard, the next gen amphibious toy would be born, and.... I must be feeling better because I've concluded that the week wasn't a total write off, I saw 2 otters, some kingfishers and herons. 1 Quote

With the wrong offset and 13" rims with big side walls they do look like they could see their way across the worst that Norfolkshire has to offer! 😂 As for the outboard, I wish you'd thought of that sooner. It would have saved me a fortune on the zetec conversion... Quote
Nemesis Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 I'm glad to be of service, another positive from the week away was that I managed to buy some mushroom brushes...... I kid you not, one should never wash a mushroom, the dirt/soil/manure should be dry brushed from the mushroom...... this public information is offered freely.....as I'm such a fungi.... (pun intended) Nem............... 2 Quote
GaryD1971 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 You do learn something new every day! I would buy one myself, but i don't have mushroom for it in my cutlery drawer.... 😂 Quote
