Well Mark, its a small World without doubt, Colin and his Dad (George) are way up on my glad to know em' list, I have Colins 22A motor into bits at the moment, Colins son also a George is turning out to be some good machine driver, he put in a water main last week with an excavator (not bad for a 6 yr old) the trench was to bone and perfect, sadly the lad is still a bit small to drive the Volvo dumpers fast, but give the young man another year and I think he will be able to reach the retarder peddle, obviously Colin has big plans for the young man having just invested in a new "Plant Yard" (House) so it looks like young George will be out on Hire every weekend untill he can get out of School as Colin is not a TV sit down type liking to keep busy, the first over hung Scrapers I worked with were CAT631A's (cable control) then 631C's with a ruck of them their TS14's, I could speak about my first trip on a C and how I turned hard into the cut area and the thing down shifted (no shift lock on, donk) oh and the box was up-ish near max the nose dug in a good bit??? the slasher later said to me, Tony I see you worked out where the Muck goes in em'
