do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Next buy- either a Disco4 or a td5/2.4 110. I know the pros and cons of all of them, it's most likely to be what I see at a smart buy price come march/April. Although a D4 is edging it at the moment as that would let me buy a tax exempt 90 or series 3 as a toy 😆

On a smaller scale- the laser engraver I mentioned elsewhere. Stepsister bought my dad a plywood box for Christmas, the laser engraving of a special section of OS map turns it into something else entirely 👍
can't exist legally ... 90 body on a cut down classic RR chassis :rolleyes:

They're coming through now that tax exemption is 40 years rolling again? My mates E reg 90 will be tax exempt in 3 years I think. Unless they've stopped the rolling again?
I don't want a Bitsa that's for sure 😆

No the rolling 40 years exemption still exists.

Didn't it used to be 25 years when they froze it before then going to 40.
Imagine if it had stayed at 25 and how many vehicles would be exempt now

Yeah was 25 I'm sure until they realised how much of OUR money they were losing

Mines 3 years old and I'd contemplated swapping it for another iveco but they are 52k Inc vat for the spec I want (that's no toys but the chassis configuration and the tipper and tool box)

At that price a lorry looks bloody appealing

Have you looked at the Isuzu. No frills 7t train weight and available as a tipper with toolbox both lwb and swb.
Starting around 20k cheaper
Yes, I've had isuzu grafter tipper before, great truck. Lad who bought it off me said same, so much so they bought 2 new ones a couple of years ago based on the experience of my old one.

I just prefer the iveco, this is my 7th iveco (1st new one I've bought), none have given me trouble, although the 10 reg needs a patch on the cill I noticed a few weeks ago. But by far the best thing for me is the zf auto box on the new one, I'd never go back to manual gear box now. (That's regardless of if I did get another iveco or other make, auto is the future)
