Hi all just wondering if any of you metro tas drivers be able to tell me what the average kms are on your n113 vov2 and oranas and your L94s？. I would think your oranas and vov2 will be clocking over 2million kms by now as they are getting on. Thanks in advance guys. N113 VOV2 and Orana's range fro...

655. Also a Volvo repower.

Quality as always LocoLes - look forward to the next installment
