They'll be operating under a new licence by the end of the month.
The oft exercise these new enforcement powers but then instead of banning any directors from starting afresh they just ban them from operating under the old licence,
I do agree tho hahahahahah lol

couldn't of happened to a nicer ****, the first episode I watched showed him dragging a guy half his size out of a car and smashing him up against a metal hut!!
i tuned in for the 1st time & saw him taking his lad to the park at midnight......so he could have some private time with him... the kid was on his bmx & there was a camera crew there....right.
This included one couple who had bought their car second hand, without realising there were still outstanding debts secured on it
One? lmfao the one and only episode I've watched had about 3 different 'customers' in that boat.

Tddi engine,mk7 body lol
While we're on the subject on vans here (transit/sprinter/crafter sized) does anyone else find the cabs are always warm? I find myself having to take 2 litres of water out with me as the cab gets ridiculously hot, possibly something to do with it being RWD and I'm probably a matter of inches about the gearbox/engine? My job involves a lot of heavy lifting/up and down stairs with heavy casks but even when I'm back in the van I have the blowers on and window down even if I have enough time to cool down from unloading!
Idk wtf this prog is tbh 4x4 bbq

Fwd FTW and a vent in the roof and vents in the bulkhead to when the windows are down the cool air flows through
re the hot van... all modern vehicles are so much more aero efficient, the windows aren't designed to be opened at speed, and they always take air for the fan from some arbitrary place underneath which is out of the airflow to help with this efficiency too.... basically, you need aircon no matter what.. i used to have an L200 without it & if you opened the window, it was so noisy that it was almost painful.....i was actually slightly glad when i drove it head on into a telegraph pole & wrote it off.....lol lol lol lol
lol
The first episode of this was filmed mostly around the areas surrounding where I live as they only in the next town from me.

yer all day long, had a ton bag of gravel in the back the other week didn't miss a beat!
as soon as I have a bit more money im going to give it a good service and a pair of new front wings
mine was a hell of a workhorse.. even though whoever wired the tipper electrics in didn't have an arming switch, so it was permanently on, and left the tip/lower switch right next to the light switch, so if you went for the lights, there was a good chance you'd start tipping too... a tad unnerving on the m42 on the way home from the dealer's yard... so i rewired it that evening. legally it couls carry 1.25t, illegally it would manage 4t, but the brakes wore out quite quickly lol lol
the previous owner had hammered thru the heater blower housing, aparently this was an old school trick to get road workers out of the van on cold days, as it would be no warmer inside it lol..
and the previous owner's workers returned the compliment by shoving resin concrete down the filler neck so it took 45 mins to fill the tank.. that took some finding..
after about 2 years, i'd got it all sorted out & my brother traded the transit in for a eurocargo... mostly cos he didn't believe me about the change in driving licences post '97, and suddenly found out that 90% of our staff couldn't legally drive it!!!!! oops..
