This post has got to be a pi$$ take. A bloke called 'Farm' from Swansea with dodgy spelling and a boat built in Llanelli and, he's called it 'Jack Attack'.

Duffryn Farm between Dunvant and Three Crosses on the Gower. (near swansea)

Comm type searider with jocky consil. Had it new in 85 or 86. so 25ish years old now but in very good nic. Was one of the first ones about the Gower back in the days when a tank of fuel was six quid !!!!! Use to have twin 40 setup but changed it a few years ago for a single 90 merc 4 stroke.

That's them!
My father and Terry owned the Alpine Plant Hire business, until my dad retired 6-7 years ago.
Terrry's still running some JCBs alongside his farm business - don't think he'll ever retire!
