Probably not, don't think I'd be travelling that far in a series.

I thought it looked familiar, I have driven past numerous times going to Lytham, Warton and Freckleton and recognise the trees in the background, I only live about 45 minutes away from Lytham

Do you know if it's still on the road?

Sadly not. There's a similar one which is only one letter out. My Granda's was SD08YRP, this one was SD08YRO. Both were cars my Mum helped put in place servicing stuff for back when she worked for Arnie Shark Fiat in Ayr.

1931 Alvis?  I suspect not but I have no idea what the truck is.

Spotted in our road and still in use by a local builder! A local registration (UR is Hertfordshire/Middx) too.

The 4 liter is a straight 6 engine. And I like the Jeep XJ.

thats twice on here now I have gotten my V6's confused for my straight six's!

(the first time was when the Red forum bike, Jag was doing the rounds, I wonder what happened to that in the end)

It is easy to mistake these engines. And not everyone has 90s Jeep engines stuck in their heads thankfully.

As M&S says, anything but ordinary...

My Dad had a 4 litre Cherokee L but I had a 2.5 diesel which I think was rejected by Massey Ferguson for sounding too agricultural.

Yes these diesel engines are a bit rough. On these, I would have preferred a petrol engine and rather lived with the high fuel consumption.

Likewise the 'bus! I've travelled on several of those "Boris 'buses" and have found them all to have an awful Diesel engine resonance and vibration on tick-over. Maybe I've travelled on badly maintained examples, but I try to avoid them now.

I had never heard of May and Schofield until I put the new* speakers in my Favorit recently. They are still going and based in Basingstoke apparently.

They don't have tickover as such. The engine only has one speed which it uses to charge the batteries. In theory at least. I haven't been on any for ages and have heard that the batteries are getting worse so the diesel is on more and more often. I think the idea was sound but they were underdeveloped as Boris wanted them in service by a certain date. I don't see why they can't have charging points at route termini so they could be topped up whilst on layover. They need to be used on electric more to justify their existence.
