One that last pickup, I noticed all the Bins were out for collection. My heart was in my mouth in case a Bin Wagon suddenly appeared. It would have been a Mexican stand off.😁 Brilliant driving as usual!

Great Vlog again Kev I'd even say very funny also with your little squeak when stretching (WTF) and your comment about not minding a bit of wet bush 😂😂 but I have to say the Vlog did remind me of your days at Burden's when you had to wait to load for over 2 hours and going down these tight country roads, keep up the great work and will look forward to the next one.

I took a tri-axle coach down a road like that. It was supposed to take me to Tweedbank Railway Station and it did. The only problem was the station and my passengers were on the other side of the railway and there was nowhere to turn. I had to reverse over a mile backwards to get back to the main road.

Crumbs that Merc, hopefully saved its driver from serious injury by him/her pushing the vehicle beyond its abilities (and any occupants), apart from needing change of underwear. Bet Scott Andrews will be returning the laugh on that last pickup when he sees this. Well done for coping so well with this lot.
