Reminds me of this jolly advert from those heady days of optimism. Starts at 9 minutes 35 seconds in but it's all worth watching.

Wonderful.

Isn't it just? An ear-worm tune too.

Ulp. Honest guv - I only did it because the stock one wouldn't fit under the bonnet using this carb.

If I had money in the bank this would be on my drive. Looks as if it might be a challenge to get legal though - seller says (in obligatory capitals) "DONT NOW WHAT IT WIEGHS"

I suppose at least the cunt didn't start the listing with "here we have..." Small mercies.

It's the kind of thing you regret buying at the first mini-roundabout....

True. I wonder what the history of it is - it looks very similar to one they used on Roadkill.

At least it doesn't mention Coffee or Artisan Churros I suppose.

A bit of a Google suggests these have a GVW of about 4.5 tonnes - useful but only likely to be of interests to old gits like me with grandfather rights to drive up to 7.5 for personal use only. Most youngsters couldn't legally drive this without extra test or having it downplated to a point where the payload would make it useless.

What I learned -
Googling wasn't getting me far until I found out the Americans call this a "ramp truck".

It needs a few feet lopping off and a couple of motorcycle ramps, might do for a bike racer then....The trouble with big US trucks is you lose so much useable length with the front end for over here.

This looks a bit of alright and reasonably priced. A few more years and it'll be exempt - which seems a guaranteed way of getting a price rise. Always contentious and others will vehemently disagree, but I'd much prefer a stirring stick in the centre ...but I can't afford it anyway.
