That's just lazy :)

I could have done it faster with a sledgehammer, but then I likes to hit stuff.

On this topic I spoke to my insurer earlier about adding a winch.

Me:  "I'm thinking of fitting a winch."
Insurer:  "A winch?"
Me:  "Yes, a winch."
Insurer:  "And what do you use a winch for?"
Me:  "Er...  winching things?"
Insurer:  "I guess so..."

occasionally I feel sorry for the voices at the end of the phone. They get their first job... have no idea what their doing, and then people start talking about winches, Xbrakes, and NAS lights... whats next vinal wood to fit to your car?



Then I remember their trained to screw you out of your money. [person of questionable parentage].

When I insured the Landy, I declared that the vehicle had a winch on. The young girl asked what the winch was used for? I replied, “for winching”, to which she replied, “I don’t know, what’s a winch!”. And this was with a 4x4 insurance specialist!

I then had to write a letter stating that the winch would only be used for vehicle recover. Which made think, what other uses is there for a winch?  :-k  :-k  :-k  :-k

Have a look at a VW camper site, lamenate wood flooring is a big thing with them. Looks good, when done properly.

You could have got one of the girls I work with to try to park the disco by the wall. Same effect (do you have rock sliders????)

I had to declare it would only be used for self-recovery.  If you recover another vehicle that's classed as vehicle recovery which starts to look, in their eyes, like hire and reward.



Yeah, I know, recovering another  vehicle is vehicle recovery :roll: .  It's a bit like having a dog, you can never expect it to think like you so you have to see the world through the dog's eyes.  Same with insrance companies, you have to try and think the way they do.  Not for long mind, it can addle you brain.

Hmm....  you did better with that question than I did...

"what are you planning on using the winch for"

Wool Winding?  Custard Stirring ?   It's a capston, I was planning on using it as a small and rather uncomfortable potters wheel...

I think the phrase they were looking for was "self recovery", still ask a silly question.

Not as good as this one though....

I see you've added a roofrack to the vehicle, does this alter the height of the vehicle in any way ?

Winch comes in handy for pulling body panels on cars

Also my mate wanted to extract an engine and gearbox out of a micra, front end damaged, winch made short work of peeling away the metal, quite good fun doing it as well :D

Which made think, what other uses is there for a winch?

Yep as well as stump removal, tightening fencing wires and hoisting the tree surgeon up into a large pine tree to cut away a few of the top branches. Oh and pulling a stuck cow out of a slurry pit.

Now then.

Someone ram raided a cashpoint from a shop with a disco. And where were you when all this was happening sir....

[richo]

I dream of the day i can get a winch fitted.
