Nice update, I take it the 133 is a UK market one? Looks like an original Bournemouth reg. anyway..... By the way yon Harley is a Flathead not a Shovel!

Good plan and I reckon there is a way around it especially if you have a Granddad license. I've seen ERF KV and Mickey Mouse Foden 4 wheelers down-rated to 7.5 ton but I don't know if the 8 leggers can go that far down. Remember you need to actually down-grade not just down-rate the vehicle to get i...

I think Jo's title is all we need to heed. Not just regarding pending legislation, lack of interest in spotty yoofs or any other future consideration. Just enjoy while we can.

I love the Lincs-registered 100E with i...
