Stuart's broad-bean link is out (Witney is to rural for Broadband). No idea if his book deals with commercials.

Oh, nothing in particular, unless you can offer a few pointers for talking myself out of placing a bid.  Aside from the awkwardness of being on the other side of the continent, it's tempting.  At least it's not also on the other side of the Atlantic.

To put you off... Not what this site is for is it? OK. My bud Mike will drive anything and does. I had a tipper which were using to level another chums garden as they will happily carry a ton of earth. About right gauged by coffee breaks. Any round comes Mike, leaps into the Roly with a 'Never driven one of these before' and shot off down the village road. He reappeared about 3 minutes later white as a sheet. He like many had discovered the amazing tipability of these machines and the fact you drive them in a sort of crouched position.

It didn't work did it?
