My personal opinion of the “Big J”? admittedly on very short acquaintance with the dog, it was diabolical!! Uncomfortable, noisy,( worse than an Atki) difficult to get in and out and gutless, but I will say it had a poxy Gardner in it. Not a patch on an Atkinson or a Mandator, or even a Leyland Beaver!! :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: my tin hat is firmly fixed. :smiley: Regards Kev.

Agree with you there Kev.
The bloke that designed it should have been made to drive the first one they built from Wolverhampton to Wick and back!
Had he done so i imagine when he returned he would have immediately set to work back at his drawing board.

Joe Pallet of Nailstone, I did a bit for him in the 70s. 30ish motors mostly Akkies flats n tippers. Can’t remember him having many Guys though. I was on a S80 ,one of three. Suffered when the pits closed the fleet went down to an handful, Volvos. Only drove a Guy for one shift , more than enough.
