The volvo was sold yesterday.....................git pulled out by text today! :x back up for sale again now.......get your cash out :lol:

Thanks for reassuring me about the 144. I'm looking forward to putting her on the road. That LEZ is a ba**ard. If I have to I'll try and put a CAT on the old girl. It'll be cheaper than one like yours! :lol: (envy)

I'll see how we get on and maybe I'll invest some more if it goes alright. ;)

You've had some nice wagons over the years John. Where in N/W London do you hail from? Have you just got the one R580 now? I'm keen to learn from the master! :lol:

You must know whats his name..............Coyne from over there, he's moved me a couple of times, last was about 4 years ago. We are much the same, I'm 43 and my first low loader of any size was a 142 at 23, :D the owner moaned it cost as much to insure me as it cost in diesel! :lol: Still I loved it.....even driving around London 'cos they had a 2nd yard in South Norwood. It'd be a job to get a 23 year old on one now.

I used to do a lot up around your part for Ealing Borough Council and Kensington and Chelsea but I got fed up with the travelling over the past few years! Must be getting lazy!! :wtf:

I must say its hard to make such a large financial commitment to trucks when you weigh up the return, they're so expensive now especially if you need a euro 4+ for the LEZ. :roll:
