Hello All, this is my first post, while you are on the subject of British trucks I happened to see this on Friday night www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/segments/s2522261.htm
Well done I thought. Looks like its on again on monday night ABC 2

Hi Harliegh well that ad shows just how great leylands are you dont ever see Yankee trucks ever put thru there paces like this .Dave

Kevin Graham Kircher is well known around the traps for his collection but would have to agree with what he said.

And if you ask most old timers they will say they cut there teeth on pommey trucks. Dave :

Hi Dave, mate your right , I don't think I'll be giving the Dodge a similar
" durability " test when she's back together !
Thanks too Kevin , for the tip on the program on the ABC, I'll have to watch it.
I don't really care what make truck, car ,machine it is , when someone gives blood ,sweat and often tears into turning a rusty old piece of iron back into something restored , functional and shiny again they have my admiration

Kevin,
