Thanks for all the replies.

It needs to go from Scotland to Norfolk. I think the cheapest way to do it's going to be to pay a fellow student to do it for me. Failing that do it my self but it's about 1000 miles round trip

Indeed; I got a trailer as part of the deal too.

I'm going to take it down to Norfolk (home) for the winter and fit it out; some sort of power on the back and a couple of double jockey seats I think. Then who knows. Might depend on how my finances (and how much more cash I can drain of out the parents) work out over the next few months as to whether I bring it down here, but that is the long term plan I think.

Will be extremly painful saying goodbye to my 4.1 though

I believe if it's under 3,500 kgs it's exempt from Tacho, but you never know, VOSA aren't too clear.
