2006/7? I cant really remember to be honest now. I had a loooong time spent in fields with soundsystems and generally a bit drunk so driving just always seemed like a bit of an added risk to life and limb. Both mine and everyone elses so I took the adult perspective.

Soon as a licence was a needed thing because the company changed direction I went and got one but missed the 7.5 ton by a good 10 years

I am seriously thinking about just going for the class C HGV rather than the smaller class C1 +e. When we move i'll have much less sound work so a HGV licence would be a good way to earn pin money.

Just catching up with some old posts...
So this was what the question was about then

Looks like it was an ex prison can?

What you gonna be using it for then LLL? Is this to take to places with the horsebox?

A school friend had one of these (his dad and then he, used to race stock cars);

Randomly enough here's a pic of his dad in action from before I was born

I think he was pretty good at it (I remember a room completely full of trophy's)

And in fact, here's a recent pic of his Son's car, taken at his house that was a couple of mins walk down the lane from me;

What the hell did we do to find information before the internet, eh?

I would honestly have to call it old age mate

Like medieval

I think there comes a time in every 37 year old, who has no kids or mortgage's life that he has to decide if paying rent is worth the trouble. We intend to try not. It is all part of the plan to buy and develop fields for equestrian use. This is the base to work from.

To be fair I have never weaved any yogurt but I have always hated 'modern' life so the only real option nowadays is a fuckin-g big R.V.
