[bootsaler]

Just seen a beautiful green/yellow mark two security van on a low loader going through Billericay this afternoon.Its different to the securicor one on this section.Does it belong to anyone on here??.

I wish! It's not the one that Mk2 Luton mentioned I wonder? What did the transporter look like?

[bootsaler]

It was on a blue iveco lorry with r.f.v spares written on it.I believe they are a local transport firm based in wickford.

[MK 2 LUTON MAN]

Yes its mine,it had just been to chelmsford G.V.T.S for its m.o.t,which it passed with flying colours.Now all i have to do is get some security co stickers made up & she`s ready for show season.

You have PM. Also, did you know you could have just driven to the MOT, even without tax, as long as the test was booked?

[MK 2 LUTON MAN]

Yes i am aware that you can go to & from a pre-arranged m.o.t,but this is ESSEX.The police pull you over with their A.N.P.R Camera,keep you waiting hours then take the vehicle,costing you time & money ( £175+v.at).This happens all the time in ESSEX,even if you have just insured,m.o.t`d,or taxed if its not on their computer your nicked.Cost of recovery vehicle to chelmsford £45 inc V.A.T,a bargain.

Best not move to Essex then, cos I went to MOT with our Mk1 with no tax, it had been off the road for 2 years, AND I passed a police car on the way! Did you get my PM?
