I mean the tow truck not the new driver ;)


She's the same as a regular LWB, it's the extra axle and the low roof that makes her bigger! I've been close up to her and would know. Still so glad to see her home!

he he, as i was pushing her into my workshop some of the local kids walked past and said 'cor! is that a hummer?' - she does look big but its definatly just a LWB shell and in suprisingly good condition for its age (except for the windscreen surround and rear valance)

No social life for you now MVM, not even on line, we shall expect you to bring 3001 and your welder to billing with you..........

Oh alright, you can have that weekend off. Bet you are glad you don't work full time for me. Oh wait, looks like you do. :oops:
