Are they ok on a car licence?

A chap at work drove one through the gates (literally) at the Maze when they were having a riot way back.

I bet that put the fear of god up them.

Yea nice big heavy old trucks. Hope you have a good right foot as they take a lot of stopping :shock: . Think thats why the armt put the nice big push bar on the front so they dont have to brake.

i was thinking of just using the scenery/ road furniture/ other cars to stop it!!! nah in all seriousness i want it for a promotional tool so if your in yorkshire you might see it coming down the road towards you on day!! just got to find one for the right money and then hit the company bank account- better to spend it on this than have to give brown any tax.

had a look at them but they tend to go for a lot more especially the mog. i just think that the pig has that instant impact that makes people stand back and take notice!

The big bar on the front of the pig was commonly known as a paddy pusher :twisted:

Great machines on speed humps too, as long as you are doing 30 or above
