I have to say they were good old machines, I was driving this old 215 only a couple of years ago up in Cambridge for my old mates James King Earthmoving ....Great lads !! real salt of the earth blokes, none of this I'm the boss bullshit
It was a really good machine even for its age !
As far as I am aware this old girl is still putting in a good days work!

Re: Controlled demolition CAT 245
I dont think desford is that far from where im currently working...i can definately say ive seen signage for it on the way. I remember seeing some of there ADT's on the side of the road near cambridge when i was coming home from somewhere. I vaguely remember seeing that massive halla on a Low loader somewhere too
