You can be an official member of the Romany Gypsy Support Group with one of those, you might even be able to build a house on someone's private land, and get away with it. Great buy ;)

 

Ash, I think he may be suggesting moving to Tadley and being a pikey ;)

IT seems some scammer has just phoned the Ebay seller saying he was arranging collection, obviously trying to get in on someone elses win, claiming to be the winner bidder lol, but they were wise to their location and mine and realised.

 

But can someone comment on the weight aspects, someone else is mentioning this to me now, but surely its designed to take a car, so how can you have a recovery truck that cant carry a car because it might be over weight ???

If it's the engine in it I think it is, they are known for bad cold starting. I think they have a single glow plug. Can't help you with licensing and gross weights, I am old enough to have the old style licence that lets me drive bigger stuff. Wasn't even awar things had changed until someone mentioned it at a race meeting regarding buying a seven and a half tonner.

 

The neighbours will love that on your drive ;)

lol, your neighbours are going to love you ;) How much did it set you back and what did the insurance work out like?

 

It's got to save a good few quid in the long run for sure.. no more worrying about driving a car back from a meet :D And no more worries about having a cheeky few at 'pod :innocent:

We agreed on £1800, which means Im spending nearly double what I wanted to but I cant help it lol, I have my own truck lol :D

 

Insurance, havent the fucking foggiest yet lol, but Im over 31, I have 10+ protected no claims, it shouldnt rape me, might think about a tradex policy now, especially if Im carrying and moving cars ;)
