I knew you needed a licence but didnt realise you needed a 4x4… :eek:

242

The new licensing laws re car trailers are a right cunt.

243

Is that true Massey?

244

What’s the deal with cars and trailers? When did they come in?

245

If the weight is over 750kg in total you need a 4by4 otherwise you aren’t insured and you need a trailer licence also, the cops and RSA pulled a load a lads at the local Mart to warn them all that they would be enforcing it from September on

246

So if I am going to the mart with 4 x 300kg weanlings I cant use the VW Caddy anymore… FFS. :rolleyes:

Thanks for posting anyway Massey.

Super car in fairness.

251

I hear mixed reports on the reliability of some of the S40’s… No idea of other models.

252

Fuck sake. Do these cunts not know there is a recession. Was there a large spike in accidents amongst lads going to the mart that I missed?

253

Had a v70 for years. Loved it.

254

Absolute cunts.

A 4x4 is a luxury for most part-time farmers. Now if you want to bring a few heifers to Gort of a Thursday night you’ll either have to get the local haulier to bring them (extra cost) or fork out for a 4x4.

Might buy a Pajero to fuck and be done with it.

255

are ye sure about needing a 4x4? I have to say, its the first I have heard of it. the only restrictions I heard were of the cars load capacity and the size of the trailer, not that it had to be 4x4.

256

If it’s over 750kg it has to be a 4x4 afaik

@Kinvara’s Passion
That is some cunt ref towing with the car alright, first i had heard of it tbh. I am gone out of the car trade 2 months is all & i had heard nothing of this law previously.

The problem with buying a Pajero or a Landcruiser with seats is the Road Tax, go commercial and you’re limited to 2 Seats. Might be best to look at a crewcab jeep provided you have a herd number ( for commercial tax ), but they are dogs on juice. Best buy imo if you want something to tow & drive to work would be a Sante Fe or Toyota Rav, both should get you roughly 35mpg on standard road journeys & maybe 28mpg while towing. A Pajero or Landcruiser Jeep or a Navara or Hilux crewcab would be lucky to achieve 28mpg unladen & as little as 22mpg towing.

Kia Sorrento

Good machine alright, passenger Jeep being 2.5 is a killer on Tax though.
