I've never even had hydraulic ramps on my own vehicles bugs, just old springs. :rotfl: When I have driven with hydraulics on the ramps I'm really nervous of closing them.


Something I would love to do if I could justify the cost is my hgv licence.

I just cannot justify it for just me to pootle about, specially now i don't even have a pony here :rotfl: :T though the lorries are better, safer and.....cheaper at the lighter end of the HGV scale.



Edit : I also would, love, love love to learn to fly a helicopter. But in our 'relationship negotiation' DH put it in his non negotiable no list that I did not. I probably would not be a looked to now anyway with health.

There used to be a few schemes putting female equestrians through them too for bettering employability and employment conditions. I think they are all dried up some years ago though). Your sister's game has some of the heaviest lorries really, and showjumping. and the top end. Polo too.....but not with the massive living, just horse stalls and tack racks.......and drivers!
