George I noticed you were driving for the Lutton Family (Dumfries Freight), what happened there… :question: You didn’t seem to stay around there for long… :question:

Just talking to them on the phone on Monday and Dumfries have bought a few new Scania R480s, which brings their fleet up to around 22… :sunglasses:

Themselves and Tinnelly’s must be rivals with nearly been beside each other and specialising in the same work (tippers)… :wink:

Cheers for now George and best wishes for the new drive with the Volvo… :slight_smile:

Mark… :wink:

hi mark
the job with paul was a good job paid really good money and the man himself was good crack but tipper work is a bit dirty for me so i seen my old boss at ian parkinsons sale and he said he was replacing the man who took my job when i left last time so here i am

cheers G

its all back together




lookin good George, is it a 420 ? its scrubbed up well, looks like new!!! Is the interior as good as the exterior ?

As Routier says: looks like new!

Bet you are really pleased with it, now show us some interior pics :smiley:

Alex

no its a 380 and was plated at 34ton but dont know if its been changed

that is looking mighty fine…top job

i will take some interior pics tomorrow its nothing special inside but its very clean and i dont suppose the bed has been slept in much i aint sure of the weight its plated at i will check that also





That’s VERY clean Big G, you must be very proud of her!

Jeezus that is one clean tidy motor, you have a decent motor there by the looks of it, they r decent motors, should serve you well.
