Unusual chinese six on the Ford.

From what i have seen Harold Wood seemed to use mainly MAN’s in his fleet. It looks like he
tested other trucks as per the Scania.

That is a very interesting article of John Dickson Simpson which I can fully support and agree with, ( CF may have other ideas of course 
) All I would say is the difference between the Gardner 180 --v—the ■■■■■■■ 205 was very close. The next comparison was between the Gardner 240 and the ■■■■■■■ 220 which again in my opinion was again close. On balance I would say that the Gardners had the edge on economy but as for reliability there was no difference. Others may have a different opinion but we ran a good number of both engine types at Bewick Transport and that was my memory of the two engine types.Cheers Bewick.
'Ere we go again!
Don’t let’s forget that it was possible to rebuild a ■■■■■■■ for the cost of a top overhaul on a Gardner!
And, from a lowly driver’s point of view, the ■■■■■■■ was streets ahead of that noisy, smelly, oily bag of nails from Patricroft. You know it’s the truth- you’ve driven both as well, although it was probably just into the MOT station next door, wearing a suit!
It was one of their tankers that took the final load of plastic powder out of Riding’s old depot at Longridge shortly before demolition began on the 28th of October 2017.
Early days wagon and drag.

Now now ROF I’ve been biting me tongue trying not to take the bait but I’ve caved in [emoji12][emoji12]
We all know the premium price for the best engines ever made was offset by the low parts price especially when it came to rebuilds [emoji1303][emoji1303]
Some Spanish hauliers.Always remember when Spain become members of the EEC and money was made
available to the haulage sector,they went over night from driving clapped out old Pegaso’s to shiny new
Volvo,Scania,Mercedes etc.
