Thanks MF,
Yes I remember the autos. They went pretty well. They were almost the first heavy vehicle autos. The AEC's of course were crash boxes. The drivers were pretty good with them though.
Only issue with the Panthers was, apart from no air conditioning, no power steering. Hence the constant calls to move to the back of the bus. They still do that these days but for a different reason.
When they started to replace the Panthers I was a little sad and thought they were still pretty good. But really the new Volvos, etc are so much better. Now looking at double articulated even.
Thanks for the kind words Jack, now let's get back to what's really important, mowers of course especially Victa 2 strokes..
