Been awhile but I have some news from wisby's, after a stint at Tassielink i have returned home and now back working with doug and co.

Firstly is the new acquisition of ex 9429mo now known as e69?? Can't remember the last digits.
She is another ex Harris park cg277 hino only difference is she is automatic and has had a few additions like led rear lights and a reversing camera. She has been bought to replace one of our scania n112 which is going to undergo either a engine transplant or be flipped over like a Renault lol. If you want to see photos of our new twin here's a link

We also sold hino cg277 b40gk she is now part of Oakley's fleet.

Apart from that we have also sold a24 a good old Volvo b10m with custom coach body, I believe she is going to be a camper.
