Have decided to fix up the rangie, get her mot'd n taxed and sell her on.
The mrs said last night "You should get another 90". Thats that then. bye
bye rangie!
Anyway, at my new house, i have a private parking space, which i have to
maintan as it forms part of my house boundry.
On this spot, could i say leave an untexed, un mot'd un insured RRC whilst i
get her repaired?
Also, does anyone in Bedfordshire with a trailer, fancy helping me get her
to my new house for a few beer tokens?

I've got a SIIA with a harvey frost recovery hook on the back (in
Luton) if you're stuck, but the chains/drop plate might cause damage
to the front skirt/bumper.

if it's not dedicated as a public highway, or council maintained, then yes.
Private property, 's not on the road. Assuming of course that you don't
block a right of way.
Some years back, when a local hostelty was still open, there was and still
is a big wide junction off the main road with a triangle of grass in the
middle. The said triangle, in some odd fahion, apparently belongs to the
hostelry, not the council. One of the regular boozers had plans to buy it
in order that he could park his car there and sleep off any excess therein,
without the dibbles being able to do anything about it.

He'd have wasted his money - a farmer was charged, and lost his appeal,

Series/Defender are the easiest. Just wrap around front bumper and
lift.

Can't really be classed as in charge of a vehicle if you can't move
it.
I have already been urged to drive the 101 to various pubs by a few
mates, so we can all kip in the back of it in the carpark after! :)

'ere. Anyone know where to get a short set of lifting chains, you know, the
kind that have a big ring, with 2 chains with hooks on the ends attched? The
one I've got is very old and rated 13cwt, which is a bit nauhgty on a 2T
capacity hoist - 's never broken, mind, even lifting the front end of a LR.

Dunno, but if you find somewhere online let me know. The chains on my
Harvey Frost are getting on a bit.

Ownership of the land is not the point. If it is in public use (for
example, a supermarket car park or a field with a public footpath
across it) then the road traffic act applies.

Mate went to pub with his rangie, got pissed (as usual!), couldn't get a
taxi for love nor money so kipped in BOOT of rangie, climbed in through
tail, separated from front by fixed-in dog guard. Bloody useless local
Forres pigs woke him up at 3am and nicked him! Wankers isn't a strong enough
description for our local pigs! I mean, what harm was he doing? He had the
sense not to drive, and they repaid him by nicking him for drunk in charge,
he's a farmer (was, he died the other year somewhat unexpectedly) and he
lost his licence over it. Bastards won't do anything about drunks having a
pop at each other in the street or the local druggies (yes, they know who
they are) 'cos they're frightened they'll get a kicking!

that ought to have been worth a challenge. Granted, public places, but if
it's private property with no public access, then I don't see the point.
