Thanks for the warm welcome Diesel950, cosset, valdosetti, smallhaul and pumptech!
@smallhaul - Yeah exactly, these little machines really are amazing! and relatively easy to control considering they don't move too fast. Part of my inspiration to invest in something like this came though reading all the youtube comments. It brings back fond memories from youth of playing with Tonkas and matchbox in the dirt.
@pumptech - I hope you win! but if not (and likely so
) your always welcome to come to Perth once setup.
Something else to mention, If anyone has any old, unused or an excess of functioning machines laying about, I'm willing to act as a guardian - something like a share profit scheme. It could be a good way to fund your new projects. I'd have to look into insurance, trust and related issues first but yeah, just a thought, and I thought I'd throw it out there.. so if anyone's interested get in touch.
