    It was a Uclid Terex T71 front end loader and a road packer. Pulling out the contruction yard was up hill and it took me four tries to get that ###### old Autocar out of granny & granny.

    I wanted to start driving because I thought that the money would be great ( and sometimes it can be pretty good ), and for the independence of not being stuck in one place all day around other people.
