Hi
I believe the tug is available as a special order item, ive seen a few built, awesome tug but apparently quite heavy to lift/move when ballested.
All the best.

Be careful. One Mayhem member (F4TCT) ordered and paid a £50 deposit for one of these last March and, as of 15 Feb this year, was still awaiting delivery. I wonder if it's arrived yet.

Hi all
Thanks all for the replies will have to get a bigger shed for that tiger if I decide to build one ! If i put one on the patio quickly when the boss is out with a couple of hanging baskets on it and call it a summer house reckon i might just might get away with it  %% {-) {-) {-)
