joe.coughlin.142 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi guys. New to the forum but just want to introduce myself. My name is Joe and live in Manchester. I am a qualified HGV fitter and am currently working as a bus mechanic. I have a 1963 Unimog radio body but it is still in storage in the United States so don't get to see that one much. My dad owns a 1991 Landrover defender Snatch that we have just finished working on and that is back on the road. We have also just started working on his 1957 Daf YA126 which is proving to be a very enjoyable project.

Tony B Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Welcome in mate! There are a couple of other Bus Drivers (Or Busters as you would call them) around as well, so we wine and whinge over a lot of diffrent types of vehicles. Do like the Mog.

joe.coughlin.142 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 The unimog is a great truck. Uses to drive it around when I first moved to the US, when gas was only a $1.28 a gallon. (Maybe 85p a gallon). Used to be my daily driver and was a really nice truck. Always had the roof off, doors off and windscreen down. Can't wait to get back there and get driving it again.

johnhughes Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Nothing quite like getting a fly in your mouth whilst trying to change down into 3rd on a corner in a 404! Brilliant J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
