It's done you proud Len, especially considering it's lugging the TM.

I bought a vauxhall vivaro from brand new in march 2007 only did 500 miles in it and needed new gear box seals had been leaking from day one and long story but lookers vauxhall dismissed it as being wax

 Joe will remember because it finally whent when I was on a leather restoration course with him and paul moss in warrington managed to just about make it too the venue then had to be taken back to liverpool on a pick up truck organised by the AA later that day.


 Touch wood been alright since and the good thing about the vivaro is it just about fits in my garage so its kept above freezing and no heaters needed in the winter

Not only the TM also a trailer some times.

Clinton

Confused with the f.o.g’s state owned ant they.

Talking to a guy today about the Toyota Hi-ace vans. Totally bullet proof he said, thats why you see so many in Afghanistan I thought.

Don't think the look much cop though, but I guess that shouldn't come into it really.

[Len Gribble]

Didn’t top gear do an exposé on them? Totally bullet proof, Clarkson also liked the VW what a petrol head considering it a diesel.

Len,
Are you after a Brand new car ?? If you after one 6 months old try Motorpoint-WWW.   motorpoint.co.uk I bought a six months old astra 1.6 sxi with 14k on the clock from them 18 months ago paid £8,500.00  when other dealers wanted £7.5k for a 3 year old model evn got to pick the colour and they brought up from there Derby site.

Paul
P.s £8,999.00 for a 6 month old 1.6 308

[clinton]

Forgot about the toyota

A top van by all accounts

Len

You mean the french companys are all state owned

What do you tow

Someone has a t mount set up in a box trailer

[Mike Osbourne]

Clinton

I know you don't want to be tempted, but have you seen JK post on the other forum about the that 15hp prowler. That flood company are def flogging it now. 

[clinton]

Mike

Yes i have mike,still not sure what i want and my only thing is i can not use it on most of my commercial as  the access is not viable.

Not a bad price mind you

Got vat on that as well

[Mike Osbourne]

How much is the 15hp new?

[clinton]

Mike

Think its 6 k

[Mike Osbourne]

Clinton

I think thats the price for the new design 13hp. So it's probably even better value than you thought.

[clinton]

Mike think your right on that

A liitle more power etc,the 13 hp was good when i had a go at dave p,s prowler

There are a lot of set ups for sale mike at the mo

[Len Gribble]

Paul

Yes (she is) and thanks for the info.

Clinton

Yes state owned, a little know secret  :

Twin wheel a right bugger to reverse. Cant see the logic in having a TM on a trailer unless for demo purposes.

Prowler did catch my eye, if the gentlemen is will to wait till I finalise a few jobs (end of April) and take a knock on it and adjust the vat I may be up for it, need to replace one of my machines, ambiguous I know sun sea and top less and it rains some where

Len

[clinton]

Len

Just what i was thinking with the vat 

[richy27]

picked up the new van today chuffed with it. can actually order my bits and pieces in there now and still have room for the golf clubs. Plus picked up 4 jobs today not a bad day.

Thanks for the new van advice

[derek west]
