Gorrrrrgeous!!

 

[Trolt]

It's gorgeous! Love the exterior colour (def purple!! ). How long will the interior stay that clean?! At least it should be easy to wipe clean.

Have heard nothing but good things about Kevin and his team. When *ahem* I have the money, I wouldn't hesitate to use him.

 

[blood_magik]

not very !
we're out in it Sunday and Monday

 

[Paddy Irish]

The interior is lush , god i'd have to win the lottery to afford something like that , but at least you know it's well built and safe etc , sometimes i look at older ( more affordable ) lorries which just look like death traps at least you know it's full history. Do you need a special licence to drive it then?

Oh and could i be really necky and ask you to PM me the price - sorry , i know , enough neck for another row of teeth!

 

[HollyB66]

Wow! It's got a loo too!!! Love it

 

[blood_magik]

it's a 7.5T so I need a c1 - doing c cat so I have more options

Hi hun,

Wondered if you'd taken delivery of the lorry yet? and how it's been?

Thanks

Sarah

 

[blood_magik]

we picked it up last Saturday
had a few hiccups with it but it's been sorted
had jerry in it as well but we haven't been anywhere in it yet

 

[-Sj-]

Ah kl, happy with it then?

Dunno what its been like through your end but it's been wind and proper rain through here! I wouldn't be wanting it getting wet LOL!

 

[blood_magik]

we drove up in gale-force winds
was scary whn we were going through the exposed areas

 

[-Sj-]

:O Did yous collect it from down south?
Thats some drive at the best of times!

I take it when the cab tiltsthe luton part tilt forward too? How dot they make that water tight?

 

[blood_magik]

yep, we picked it up in Preston and drove back up to glasgow.
the drive itself wasn't too bad - we stopped just before Carlilse and made it back to the yard for 1630 so it took around 4 hours (limited to 56 mph).

it is a tilt cab - I would think that any water would run over the gap between the cab and the body?
I could be wrong though. we didn't have any issues with water on the way up.

I'm very pleased with it we just need to get mr Jerry used to standing with the partition closed before we go anywhere
