UK Pickups - reviews

[Routy56]

I keep threatening to renew mine .... let it lapse when I was 'unwell' in 2010 ... be handy to have it back

Don’t even think about it Gra - it will only encourage you to collect more big boys toys
In my case I did not renew mine once I reached 65. Then the Gov said that they wanted to retain older drivers

Ah, LL, you have the hairdresser version. I have the Glinton Heavy Haulage version. The wheels are now on their second coat of paint - must be the hard miles!

We were hoping it would take a BMC Mini Tractor but it's too heavy . Probably go for an old Wheelhorse ride on if we can find something suitable

No. I haven’t got one. What does it weigh empty? The trailer, that is.

I think the new ones have got a few more horses.

Yes I reckon you ok that be under the "wholly exclusive" or whatever thing.
Might...be able to get it free if anyone's offering it under the gov scheme ? Might be worth a look.
