A preemptive question

[Albannach]

If I buy a truck that is both MOT and Road Tax exempt, can I park it anywhere I like?

If you apply for your free tax disc and its insured , I dont see why not.
I did'nt know there was such a thing as an MOT exempt vehicle.

umm, like where? You can't trespass to park it, or block access to somewhere.

I'd guess the same rules apply, it has to be parked the same as any other car, ie.. sensibly.

I've always thought if you are a garage your tow trucks are MOT exempt, and some agricultural vehicles, also any vehicle that travel less that 6 miles a week on public roads between properties.

My mate's old man lived in Gerrards cross, which was posh.
When he had a similar problem with the posh neighbours, he went and parked a stinky old builders van (taxed insured etc) outside the neighbours house (the one who kept parking in the street.)
The relented after a couple of days.

Hi Andy,

As far as I know, you can stop entry to land,
but, not an entry to the highway, we had a simillar
problem with the richard head over the road from us,
(the police told me that I can't move the obstruction
but their are too busy to come and ask him to move it)
So I moved it anyways) May be different up your ways,
But I know how you feel.

Gman.

The next aquisition could be a CCKW 353 (prefer a 352) somebody from Oban way has one for sale.
Question;

can anyone clearly explain 'double de-clutching' ? not wiki version, apparently I will have to learn the rudimentary skill if I am to seriously drive a 1940's machine

[Albannach]

Clutch in, geabox to neutral, clutch out, clutch in, blip throttle to synchronise gears, select gear, clutch out.

[John h]

Oh dear, so by the time I have sorted the gears out, i overshoot the junction and carnage ensues

I think I will factor in a low loader trip then practice on the museum tracks
