Pfft....... you wouldn´t have needed platforms on the wing mirrors, you could have done it without, and you are better looking no need for the botox which obviously didn´t workMcqueen wrote:53 ? Fit as me then

Ran some Volvo trucks, ok, but much like most trucks they suffer from one downfall, the big nut thats always a bit loose, you know the one I mean, just behind the wheel...

Find it a bit strange of Volvo to go down this road, they were always safety orientated, this stunt things a bit weird, remember the Leyland trucks ad, trucks up on two wheels...

Sealed beam headlights, now they were a good idea weren't they. Bulb goes and buy a whole new headlight. Is Daf still going or did Leyland bring them down too?
