Don’t worry about the mowing machines that’s just old-school "Grandfather Rights." If you passed your car test before 1997, you usually have C1 and B+E automatically. You only need the D2/D4 forms if you’re over 70 or applying for a full HGV/Bus license. Since your paper license is gone, just check the "View Driving Licence" page on DVLA website it’ll list your active codes and clear up the confusion in two minutes.

I'd say its 50:50 between grabbing the valuable natural resources and narcissism. The resources only now becoming available because the ice is melting due to the "Green New Scam". His fragile ego was severely damaged when he didn't get the big gold medal last year. Did you see any of the big speech yesterday? It was an ultimate reality TV opportunity. The normal load of old guff: fake news, exaggeration, self-aggrandisement, ("some people say" - lots of stuff). The new standard fodder for world stage events of great significance like this. He talked a lot about windmills, he really doesn't like them. They cost $1000 for every blade rotation I think he said. You could probably knock us up a spreadsheet to show dollars per radian, if you fancy it. He mentioned Iceland a few times as well, which was bizarre. Compare all that to the statesmanship displayed by Mark Carnie the day before. In other news. As well as Blair, Putin and Lukashenko have also now had an invitation to join Trumps latest get-rich-quick real estate scheme. AKA the Gaza Board of Peace. Nice. Big news like this is only now making it into the headlines, with so much other noise flooding the zone. If there are any aliens looking down on us they must be laughing their socks off now.

Twelve years ago the firm issued a 5 year old Movano to a gang around North Birmingham to carry their gear and pull a safetrak on a trailer. I was amazed how they managed, especially considering the miles they did. It must have been interesting pulling away in the wet.

Hello all. What are your thoughts on this one? Photo taken in Jan so must be evergreen, although half of the tree was dead.

I always am concerned about the front wheel drive vans getting traction whilst towing up hills. Yeah I run a lot of older kit, the more regularly used saws are reasonably up to date but the van chipper and even my ms660 all date to the mid 00's. Van is giving me a bit of a headache as it is low power mode, not limp mode. Tractor from late 80's is in the workshop with engine trouble, need some time to investigate further. Will likely be buying a replacement loader tractor as the DB1490 is a bit tired and 2wd, that's if I fix it up and get it running again, so any thoughts of a mog may be on the back burner. I will keep an eye out for a project that may be in my budget price bracket. In the meantime time I will soldier on with my aging set up.

Is Trump Coin a value play now? Or is it a case of no point trying to flog a dead horse? Prices of meme coins linked to U.S. President Donald Trump have plunged more than 90% in a year, signaling that the meme-coin frenzy is cooling rapidly. The so-called "Trump coin," which surged ahead of the inauguration early last year, is now trading about 94% below its peak.

Didn't one of the citroen vans do that, basically a c5 hybrid platform, engine driven front wheels and electrci back? He who mustn't be mentioned would know.

Gold and silver prices going nuts. If you follow the markets, when this type of euphoria sets in its usually time to sell. Expecting a crash anytime, at which point the markets will hopefully diverge into crypto.

@markieg31 I’m not sure I’ve banged on about this recently but the way to build vans is internal combustion front wheel drive and electric rear wheel drive. Low load area floor, three wheel drive with effectively any degree of diff locking/slip on the back you like, electromagnetic braking. You could even make the rears steer since they’d only need articulation and not transmission. Hybrid clean in tight quarters and shunting about on electricity and internal combustion for full days’ working. Modern vehicles are already complicated and unreliable. Might as well make them good in the intervening moments. Fair enough about the cost of a round cab mog. That is actually a reasonable way for you to get low range.
