Snow's finally thawing. Haven't been to the garage for a week now -just way too cold. Today's alright, but now I've got a cold & I'm really not feeling much enthusiasm.
Back to it after work tomorrow though & Tuesday's my day off, so I really want to hit the paintwork, get the last bits flatted back & try & get at least one top coat on.
Spoke to Ifan in Cardiff last night. I took the doors over to him a couple of weeks ago for some fabrication work, but he's running behind schedule, not helped by the recent weather. Doesn't really matter, but means I'll have to rent a van again & drive back to Wales to collect them when they're ready. That won't stop me painting the rest of the cab though, then I can paint the chassis & get the thing over to the electrician for re-wiring.
Really, really need to crack on now.

Interesting -& worth noting, info on FaceBook -yeah, I know, but it sounds genuine:
DVLA have always had the ability to check their records & see if a numberplate belongs to a car or a commercial vehicle, but the latest generation of speed cameras are linked to the database & do it automatically. My Pop is a car derived pick-up registered to an individual rather than a company -does that make it a "private light goods" vehicle, or a commercial? If it's commercial, I need to be driving 10mph slower than cars to avoid getting a speeding ticket.

The wording used to be "non car derived vans", and yes 10 mph slower on motorways and dual carriageways only.

So does a pick-up fall into the "van" category, or is that specifically closed in vans?
Just curious really -last time it was on the road I didn't drive it any faster than my regular daily driver.

Pick-ups are a minefield when it comes to this. Check what your V5c says Andy. If it's commercial then the lower limits definitely apply. If it's not commercial then it probably still applies. Didn't you rush to get it through the commercial version of SVA.
Car derived vans should be the higher limits but it depends on how the paperwork was filled in at registration.

Also note that single-cab pickup trucks that don’t have four-wheel drive are not considered dual-purpose, and are also subject to the reduced van and goods vehicle speed limits.
