Try taking a compass with you,much better than these sat nav contraptions.Never had one or want one myself. Can’t beat a good atlas and a good sense of direction.
Cheers Dave.

Sense of direction, you must be joking when I’ve had a skinful I don’t even have sense,all you need to remember is if you drink and drive don’t forget your car

I can guarantee Harry,as one of the main men in your neck of the woods that you have never drank and drove.Beneath all the wit and jovial comments is a responsible citizen.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Semi-skilled responsible citizen Dave but I don’t drink and drive, I tend to spill it when cornering a bit fast.
thanks harry long retired.

You will have to invent a bottle carrying holder for your motor Harry.One that stays upright when speeding around corners in a Guy Big J.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Not much chance of flying round corners in a Big J if it’s only 240 G powered might get up to a canny rate of knots if ■■■■■■■■ or Roller powered, sorry, sorry, honest I am.

Don’t apologies Harry,it was Dennis that started this thread.I only became interested when David Edwards said that his Dad used to have one.
Cheers Dave.
Hi, bumped into Murray Smith today (of Smith of Maddiston) and he assures me they had 12 (yes twelve!) Big J 8LXB’s, but of course no pictures! In the same conversation he also mentioned how far the engine stuck out behind the cab.
Regards
Iain
Bewick won’t believe you Iain,if you drove one over his front lawn he still wouldn’t believe you.Its hard work.Its like trying to sell solar panels.
Cheers Dave.

No Dave,don’t dodge the “depth charge” that Murray Smith has apparently lobbed into the thread.You are on record as claiming that SOM had 39 8LXB Big J’s so where are the missing 27 ? Someones talking out of a different oriface aren’t they !!! Cheers Dennis.

And we wouldn’t want someone challenging you for that role, now would we Dennis?
Face facts everyone - none of us know anything because Dennis (patently) knows it all.
hiya,
Lets look at this Big J thing logically we are talking a quite recent motor here, surely there must be records of these vehiicle’s knocking about ie’ sales outlets, there must have been salesmen who saw these motors being distributed and made a few bob commission from the sales we are not talking BC here all I can say is a friend of mine a fleet engineer visited the Guy works and is adamant that no 240 Gardner engined Big Js ever came down the production line.
thanks harry long retired.

I’m only doing the maths based on the figures presented,so how does that become “knows it all” ? unless ,of course you can’t count “marky” Cheers Dennis.
Just to “refresh” your memories lads as what sort of a shot we expect you to provide for the Big J,simples !

Oh look, someone has grafted an Atki cab onto that Big J chassis!

Watch out Cliff you’ve just stepped on a hornets nest.
Maybe the Big J cab was a little deeper than the Atki and the engine didnt stick out so much
