They can't. But a portfolio signed off by one BASC assessor was passed onto another BASC assessor. They did know each other.

I never got a call from an assessor. Is that because my AW was also an assessor?

I also do this when I remember - I think it helps! Lot of stuff on the Disco3 forum

I have to disagree. I did one of these and learnt nothing. It was patronising and flawed logic (their premise was speed kills - actually it doesn't). The letter they send basically says be good or still get the points - so I just bit my tongue. Since then I did my trailer test and passed so I...

Can you explain what this means, please?

We now have 3X Freelander 2's as work vehicles and they are excellent. Excellent cars, highly recommended. My Disco 3 costs a lot more to run and maintain!

Addendum to note that free bullet is my method of choice for both cattle and horses. I have a captive bolt under the seat in my car and that gets a bit more use as it lives in the car. Absolutely worth having as a vet. Very much doubt you need it stalking. Far from my first choice when it comes...

I would politely disagree with you there. We have 2 in .32 calibre and I have put the biggest bulls down many times. Never felt under gunned. I once had a farce with some crappy ammo and a sheep (3 shots at point blank - first two sheep sat there looking at me). The proper loads from Kynoch in...
