easiest way to make the truck pay for insurance and get it through mot's (class 7?) would be weighing scrap in with it! everyone wants to be a tatter when the price goes up- we get about 3 a day asking for scrap!

As Tricky

My mate has an old Transit van on a D with a recovery rig on the back....

Does a scrap car a day and it pays him 100 quid a week most weeks for picking up old shit... occasionally he gets some good stuff for free too...

Got a Sierra GLX on a H the other day with 2 months T+T for free... Head gasket on it for a 10er and some prick had it for 200 quid to smoke in for a bit.

Jobs a good one
