Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Free: set of PFL wheels
« on: 05 June 2019, 10:57:34 »
I am having a clearout and I have a set of PFL wheels in usable condition. One is missing the centre plastic but it is purely aesthetic. They have tyres on them but they are old and I wouldn't trust them.
Free, collection only.

There are very good reasons for not allowing personal use of military vehicles, mostly tax. If a vehicle is kept at a business address and is used for business to business travel only (there are small allowances for journies via home such as picking up kit etc) then the MOD can claim all of the VAT back from the vehicle purchase/hire and the fuel. Otherwise it becomes 50% and depending on the vehicle that can be a considerable amount. Hence the rules. Also by putting in his own fuel he will have prevented the bean-counters from being able to calculate personal/professional usage ratio and thus would probably had to forfeit the entire VAT amount to HMRC. Being warned and subsequently ignoring them basically meant he was digging a trench to bury his career in. Fool.

It's 30 years since I arrived at Pompey via the dock yard
Looks like I'm soon to be working the other side of the harbour in Fareham.
I am down in Gosport most weekends these days fixing British Soldier as the racing crews seem to keep breaking her. In fairness they did win RORC IRC2 last year, a fantastic acheivement but they absolutely destroyed the boat in the process. Thus far on the electrics alone I have spent 56 hours since Feb rewiring the circuits that got drenched.

Not a great deal in it. 22 miles versus about 18 or 19.
Do need to investigate LPG availability, mind.WestfieldDitch magnet. Or are you bored with doing that now, following your bad run a few years back
Fixed that for you
Congratulations Kevin, I know you haven't been too happy for a while. We could do with a catch up at some point if you are up for it.

Lots of outside noise but barely felt it tbh. Had I been deaf I may not have noticed it at all.

..what happens when a Corsa skids in to the back of a Ranger in the outside lane of the motorway.
Corsa = shagged (write-off)
Ranger = small scratch on the towball.
