You don’t worry when you’ve had a few.

At my age I can't stand up, let alone stand on, when I've had a few.

A first for me today, got some very strange looks

 

 

That's the most practical mobility scooter I've ever seen 😁

hope he has valid insurance. 

 

Even here in Romania a law has been passed to oblige all electric scooter, bicycles, etc to have a valid insurance...

 

 

It's like a nuthouse anyway here... 

 

You could be on your merry way on a one way street and still encounter some electric "thing" on 2 or 3 wheels going 50km/h... On your way, as if you SHOULD expect some lunatic going the wrong way...

 

And not one has a driver license, nothing regarding traffic rules...

 

It's disgusting allready...

 

Even in parcs or sidewalk is like that... 

 

 

 

Don't worry Gabriel, I only drove it a 100m along the pavement at 3mph and had someone walking in front to scoop children out my way, and I was sober, very safe!

You worry to much, what class would DVLA put it in. 

With the paint peeling and all that rust it could be in the same class as a Land Rover😳

That beautiful moment when the first tooth you sharpened appears again all shiny and bright! ( after what seems like hours sharpening a 66 36” bar on the job  when your crew didn’t tell you it was hammered!!) 

Yes, I was the only one to use it afterwards! 😂

Anyone fancy a guess the weight quiz?

 

Last week I took the green waste heap from our yard to the tip. Was interested to see the ticket when I came back out over the weighbridge.

 

Guesses welcome for the total unladen weight of valtra with crane and hook lift trailer/skip bin combo.

 

Pics not ideal but to help...

 

This tractor and skip bin

 

On this trailer (minus the bolster bed)

 

I've a pic of the ticket for proof of the total weight, bragging rights to the winner 🏆
