thanks for that tetris he does tend to dribble these days.
batman and robin.usually when i go and look at a 20 year old motor,it has an odd tank and mirrors,or as happened with my f88 11 years ago,a string vest version of the cab ,this motor is a prince,i was amazed at the level of care and maintenance.she could go back to work,in fact she will be tomorrow morning .until this morning i must be the only truck anorak who had never seen this truck working.lots of guys on the show circuit had told me they saw it out and about over the years,from scotland to cornwall. http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac267/pete359_bucket/harry/Picture012.jpg[/img]]

Don’t like those “knobs” on the steering wheels Andrew IMO they knock 7 bells out of they power steering system always told our lads that I would shove them where the “sun don’t shine”!!! You never see any on Atki’s that have no power steering ! I wonder why■■? Nice clean Merc all the same and a credit to it’s previous owner!! It won’t know it’s been born from now on when it gets its new colours and is abused “day and night” on Joints!!! Has Martyn found a clean coiler to complete the outfit? Cheers Dennis.

She was as she is now the only thing missing is an illuminated headboard and a couple of rotating beacons as far as I can see.I think the trailer came with it,had a rolling crane on.Was there a tall guy with a beard there when you went to see it (Pete)
