Blimey,,, I think I understood about a half of what you’ve just told us but I definitely get the gist of the message. So that’s more of a ‘Why’ newer stuff ain’t got the muscle of the older stuff.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, Makes sense really :)
Not sure why, but I’ve got an unusual feeling that the older reused ones will last forever and three weeks but the newer ones may also survive just by the fact that these old vans just don’t get the caneing that they received as working commercial machines back in the day, whereas now they are...
