When taking photos and chatting to drivers I get the invite to get behind the wheel and see what I think of today’s motors, I have to refuse 'cos I can’t get up the bloody steps any way this Scania cab would be ok, all credit to Eddie(eastleighbusman) for the photo.

Is that what they call “wheelchair friendly” Oily…? Ahum…coat…

More kinda geriatric friendly Patrick not to be confused with gerryartic which is a bendy type vehicle from Germany

Interesting stuff. Any pics of a “geriatricgerryartic”?

I had one of those, in van form, about 1970…ish. I thought it was a great little motor, with the column gear change. When you got it wound up, it reminded me of riding on the tube!
