No matter how fast your going, theres always a transit wanting to overtake you. Our one at work is a LWB with a high roof. Sails past a tonne easy

I've hired one. There isn't a poll for that one.
It was dog slow but the speedo was way out. I took my tomtom to find the place. speedo said 90mph and the tomtom said 60mph. Just a little out

Owned one. . .well, my dad has.
He won't have anything else for work (he's a bricklaying contractor).
Got a 90 T330 one at the moment. Goes like stink, has bigger wheels and RWD Slightly smaller load space because of the bigger wheels. Supposed to be a towing one, but he never tows
