Bugger! You beat me to it with that one.

I'd just seen it and thought it sounded perfect!

There was a big 6x6 ex-MOD 1976 Fire Engine on there too a couple of days ago.

Cheers,
James

I think you need to speak with the fatherinlaw

I'm just guessing he would know where to find what you need

I have the feeling I'm missing something here,

One careful owner,full service history.
No i'm not joking!!

See my U2U,the trucks we deal with are usually 6x4 with double drive rear axles with diff locks on the 2nd axle and usally lock the 2nd and 3rd axles together.
they are designed to carry your bin rubbish up and down the tips but I must admit they do some times get stuck,not very good when you have to crawl under them on the tip with a million seagulls.
The best tip is look for a big piece of cardboard first!
