Smart idea SD.
But as Tigs says, just SORN it and you get the best of both worlds, no tax / mot / insurance obligations, but you can still put it back on the road at a later date if you wish.

Born free taxed to death, the only farmers making a decent living now are low landers down south.
no, not "Farmers" you mean AGRIBUSINESSES" i think NR? the sort that grub out all the hedges so they can get bigger and bigger combines onto their "prairies"!! ( its all small hill farms around here.)
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

we have always made a profit ( not a fortune but a living) but this year its looking like we might just break even,lost one hay crop and had to turn it into silage ( not as much profit) and the rapeseed crop is not as good as we hoped due to the weather, tho if the weathers better it might just catch up!!
