Are you gonna hold it against me if I take a non-Rover into the shop?

[ptschram]

Well?

I have a client who called today and asked me if we could work on a CRANE!

Now, fellas, tell me how many men would turn down an opportunity like this?

Once we get it going, we've got some tree work to do!

 

[knewsom]

Sounds awesome! A good opportunity to learn something new, never a bad thing...

 

[stu454]

Are you kidding? It's a CRANE. Of coure we're cool with that.

 

[LRflip]

dude, what kind of crane?

 

[singingcamel]

I have to admit I just worked on a 1984 Toyota Fj60.. It was a nice change. Kind of liked it.

 

[crown14]

be careful I once knew a guy who started screwing around on one and flipped it and got crushed

 

[Drillbit]

Tell him your hourly rate is based on the weight of what you are working on.

 

[robertf]

depends what part, I'd be worried about liability.

 

[kk88rrc]

Is he from Chicago and works in the film business??

 

[dannyballs]

Careful with those things....

PT is this the crane you are working on?

I think unless your busy hand over fist with Land Rovers you would be silly (I like using the word silly) not to take other breeds of autos. If someone came in with a 1988 Pontiac Fiero needing an oil change, would you turn them down?

In this economy how can anyone be too selective and discriminatory these days?

However the crane is pretty kick-friggin-ass!

 

[ptschram]

Relax fellas, don't forget I'm a "Powered Industrial Truck" trainer!

It's a Harnishvegger hydraulic, I think he said it was a 60 ton model.

It'll be engine work we're doing on it, it has a six cylinder in-line air-cooled engine that powers the hydraulics. Both Howard and I have worked on similar engines in the past.

I'm doing it mainly to piss of my neighbor who doesn't like me having the shop here as it will be considered an agricultural machine and she can't say a thing about it as it's allowed under the zoning, even without my special exception.

I expect it to be delivered sometime late this week or early next.

It will be our LOWEST priority.

I like that!
I just sent you a Pmed and emailed, u need info from both messages.
BTW, I almost typed, your email as PT@[B]BLTLOVERS[/B].com instead of PT@BTLROVERS.com

As long as you take photos...there will be no beef.

Its as simple as that.

I turned a couple of jobs down yesterday due to being swamped again.

Engine replacements, crash rebuilds, conversions. Busier than I like to be, stressful!

This machine belongs to an established client who is retired military with a degree in geology. I don't ask folks what they do with their vehicles.

 

[Blue]

I don't approve.

 

[RoverRideAlong]

post some pics

 

[Blueboy]

just to make sure Blueboy doesn't get pissed being around other non-Rovers, I keep him covered and off to the corner of the driveway.

even so, he still has to mark his territory with 90wt to make sure one can also smell his presence.

I'd make sure the other Rovers are out of eye sight when you work on it PT.
