Sullii's progress

[luckyseven]

Slightly confused by the concept of a goat bridge . Should it not have a troll living under it?

Good work though!

Me too. I know goats don't have a reputation for being the brightest animals on the planet, but why would they want a bridge that crosses nothing and basically brings them back to a couple of yards from where they started?

Every day's a school day

Hi, yes, a friend of mine used to keep goats, and he just had a mound of dirt covered in grass (at the start) and they spent most of the day seeing if they could all get on there at once. He did later build a bridge from it whilst they were trying to use it before he had finished it.

Ah. I used to have a Twingo GT. Cracking wee car that was. I've still got a set lowering springs in the shed if youre interested!

That's nice is that mate! Have I seen it on twingo133 before?
Was thinking about changing my orange bits to black like you've got tbh! Love the wheels aswell
And what mm drop? I've actually got some coilovers ready to go on, think I might wait a month or so now incase it snows again!
Anymore left overs for sale?

Cheers! Yeah I had a thread on the net for dished wheels on a Twingo with mixed opinions haha. All the silver bits I wrapped myself If you go for it the only difficult bit to wrap is the spoiler that took forever.

Drop there was 40/30 I think. Unfortunately it hardly made a dent in the ride height of a twingo. Wheel specs were 16" 8.5j ET20 if I remember, incase you were thinking of doing something similar. Back could have come out much more though. I had a set of FK coilovers to go on but insurance were having none of it so I ended up selling the car, buying and MX5 and switching insurer! 

Unfortunately springs are the only thing I have left over! Wheels and springs were the only thing I changed haha.

Because goats are full on mental. If they see anything all they're interested in is if they can climb it, eat it or headbutt it! You can spend hours watching the mental things.

Excellent! I'm loving the picture in my mind's eye that gives me.

Shame I'm in an apartment as there's guy selling a couple round the back. I'd have 'em off him otherwise.

On second thoughts, I reckon a goat in our house would have a half-life of around 6 minutes. "Goat Caldereta anyone..?"

Precisely. They're built for climbing so they climb. Think not of it so much as a "goat bridge" as a "goat playpark".

Sullii regarding cutting down the boards for the sheep lean-to - if you cut them ever so slightly shorter than the roofline, and put them under the tin, it will stop rain getting into the edge of the wood and splitting it, which it can do in a matter of a couple of months. Also think about painting all the edges (old days you would have used creosote but preservatives aren't so good these days since the chemicals were banned!) to stop the rot.

Also the orange bits on your Twingo make it stand out, paint them black and it will just look like a black car.

That's if you can catch them! They're pretty quick, especially when you're trying to put them in the hut haha

There is nothing edible that walks, flies or swims on this planet that can outrun a hungry Filipina. Trust me on this!

How do I do a multi quote thing? Is it possible?

If it's just two posts, I open "quote" in the first one, copy, go back, then open quote in the second and paste the first quote in as well. If it's multiple posts I do the same into a word doc and then copy/paste into the last post to be quoted.

There's probably a way far more sophisticated which has totally passed me by.

Top marks for the "make it fit" upgrades around the yard

Have also found out a lot more about goats so thanks for the education (and filling in some spare time at the weekend )
For anyone with spare time - Google mountain goat cliff and be amazed

It's true that goats are all mad in the face. I got mugged by one while walking one of the gorges in Crete. All I had to give it was a rather soggy black nana that I hadn't fancied for lunch. He scoffed in a oner,end-on, then ate the canvas bag our lunch had been in as a show of his disgust at such meagre pickings

Goats on retros, maybe a new RR trend? Saw it here first, lol





This one actually made me lol;

[georgeb]

This is all well and good, don't get me wrong, that's a compliment as I really enjoy the randomness of this tale. But where's the goat stuff?

I showed this thread to my girls a few weeks ago and they got all hungry. Just need the goat pictures now to convince them that some animals are cuter (a goat?) walking around, than served up with plain rice. It'll take some doing.
