Picture in your minds eye,a fifty years old vintage tractor,a fergie cabless 135..they a solid and very heavy lump.

So I run one of thse everyday,when you drive one,it's a great experience, however the brakes,are not the best..so..

I park on the slope,at the bottom of the slope is a private house,in the drive is a brand new jet black Range rover,cost to purchase unknown,I don't want to know either..lol

So,I put the handbrake on as per normal,get off the 135,to get something,at this point,the handbrake let go,and 135 is heading straight for someone's new 4x4..

I run after it ,fruitless waste of time,in my mind I picture being skint for ever,until the now very fast rolling tractor dislodged a full bin bag on the box and sends the goliath the other way..and it comes to rest...

Do you believe in God,I do now...!!,especially as the 4x4 owner never saw what happened, and says hot ain't it mate,lol..!!

I've spent over 30 years staying in Cornwall for work. The Carlyon Bay Hotel, the Pier House at Charlestown, the Royal Dutchey Falmouth, hotels in Rock, Newquay and Boscastle, golfed on all the top courses in the county, had dinner with the counties chief of police, the owner of Trago Mills Bruce is a personal friend but in all this time I've never come across anyone as mad as you and I've spent time in Camborne, Pool and Redruth 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😘
