Sounds like you have got something against this company. I know of one or two companys who run motors older than these.

They might be old but like my own 13 year old ECX I bet there paid for many times over, the fact is they can sit in the yard.

use to live up there 20+ years ago always remember back then yard always was full! visit friends and family still looks like nothing has changed always got told if there not turning there not earning!!! in my opinion a nice fleet is david g davies up in Glossop or Richard king in preston just not into a fleet of trucks all different!!!

I agree with you Benno there nice fleets, especially Davis, but I also think it’s important that there’s some older trucks, like mine, still out there, we’ll maintained and earning there keep such as this firm. I also agree with you that some oldies do look like tarts with to much make up
