Once again our idiotic Government do something complete stupid? So its cheaper to tax a bl**dy truck than a 4x4... ha ha ha ha ha ha - they can shove that up the tree huggers whatsisnames!!!!
On the subject of pies, to get up tp 3.5Tonnes you'd need 800Kg of pies - even using the big 1lb Melton Mowbray Pork Pies you're going to need nearly 2000 Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I once heard that if all of the atoms which make up Mt Everest would fit onto a teaspoon if you could remove all the spaces from between them, although it's mass would remain the same. Perhaps the same could be done with the 2000 pork pies. All I would then need to do is to find a teaspoon capable of holding 800Kg. Sorted '

£215? Cheap as chips ! My D2 costs £300 per annum; a D3 is in the region of £390 !!!
Mind you, the diesel is cheap. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.
