Saw a Jonsered rotavator in a skip this afternoon while at a National Trust place and thought I'll have that!

It was complete and had good compression.
Only problem was I was with my wife in her poxy little car with two friends and no tools.
My mate found a pair of old shears and ingeniously managed to get the two handle bolts undone to make it a bit smaller. We summoned the wifes from the carpark to collect it and the look on my wifes face said it all
"It's not going in my car"
Drat! I said or words similar...
I had a quick measure up and it was to big anyway
There was also another rotavator and an Echo leaf blower in there along with Stihl chainsaw helmets and other gardening tools!!!
I'm absolutely gutted and feel ashamed to admit this complete failing to uphold the forum tradition of skip diving!
