Dead for days and then......

[Grantlfc81 88]

Dead for days and days on end. Then 3 deals done within 3 hours on what can only be described as the most miserable day of weather I have seen this decade

And all have been walk ons in a total monsoon in Essex....... 

How’s everyone else’s October so far?

3 so far, sold one today early in the morning just before the monsoon arrived in Bucks 

Waiting for two more buyers for the same car, one has a 5:30 appointment, the other 7pm and something tells me they will both turn up at exactly 6pm. One has a part ex that I want so I hope he gets here first.

No sales but then I have little to sell. A couple of good enquiries on what I do have though and may buy later down the line. Don’t really mind as I’m off for a few days to the Lake District anyway. Went fishing yesterday afternoon. Why not eh?

Got a nice juicy 7% flat on a 7k car as well so hopefully it passes and I get a nice finance commission on that one too.

I thought you might be with someone else (wife, friend, etc) whom could drive one and you the other?

You’re not going on your own are you, you know.... to find yourself, be at one with nature.

Next time get the train up, taxi to BCA, tax the Peugeot and on to the Lakes! 

Might be a bit brave and a bit boring (with no working ICE / NAV) but will only add to the adventure

Chances are she'll be more careful than most trade platers out there

Looked at that. £1300 to buy a decent one and about four grand in petrol for my stupid RR to tow it

A-Frame

nap

the law states any vehicle with 2 wheels on the queens highway would still need to be taxed tested if required and insured for road traffic use

also unless you use a proper towing vehicle the mam would be wrong

did i mention grandfather rights and tachos?

Towed car becomes a 'trailer' if on same plates as towing vehicle if using a dolly or A frame....then any wheels on road  need to braked if over 750kg, unless used to remove from hazardous area. 

Pretty sure that correct. 

if you look what the aa or is it rac use its a proper slide out axle trailer thing with a proper braking system,they are still governed by a max radious of 45 miles i think it is and of course the vehicle needs to be moved because it was causing an obstruction

this is why you dont see farmer giles using his threepenny bit leyland anymore with a poorly rewelded harvey frost on the back going up and down the local bypass touting for trade

I thought a "dolly" can only be used for recovery?
