Then Today, Saw the Pink Punchard’s Olympic on the M25, and another 2 EC’s on the M1

what gearbox has the black cat got mated to the Cat 3406■■
It could be any ,the 16 speed eaton was used behind the same engine in a Foden ,I’d prefer it to have the heavy duty twin splitter (13612) same as used behind the N14 .

How many EC series still have the original bumper without the bits on top at each side ? Most bumpers have them in built now but on the earlier ones the side pieces on top were separate .

Is that the pub on the A1 known for ■■■■■■ carry on ?

I dont know what series this is, but i saw it in Suffolk a few weeks ago0
Kindle, it’s owned by a farmer in Shimpling, 1/2 way between Bury and Sudbury. It doesn’t do much, just the beet and occasional grain haulage. Where was it pictured? I don’t think it goes far from home?

That is the pub on the a1 - but the carry on bit is news to me, I went in the OK diner next door for a bit of breakfast - perhaps I could have had afters next door then??
Saw a smart looking EC on the M1 last week
Think it said BOURNS of POYNTON on the front
Yesterday at Freckleton.
Was advised that it has a ■■■■■■■ M11 with an Eaton 4 over 4 with a splitter.

That is well smart.
That looks just as good as most of the new stuff, and much better than the plain white motors 
didnt jcb have a fleet of them, the trucks were all refurbed and used for in house transports. parts and demonstration units.

Couldn’t agree more mate. MacKirdy runs a tidy fleet mainly ERF over the years and now mainly MAN and one Scania and the W reg Volvo 7.5 tonner.
