Was asked yesterday, what you bought that for ? taking up all that room in your yard
My reply was you know you have just bought that rollex you will never wear ?

tv work might be possible if you register with the right people ... also the occasional prom ?

That dash!
I know it is not the point but what kind of MPG does a truck like this give you, I'm just curious as I know nothing about these.

I well remember 150 miles in one day in a Bedford RL timber tractor,such fun with that gearbox.

Unipower with Gardner 5LW was fun too,so long for revs to drop off to change gear.
