Hahaha, not wrong w_f . She was old when i started at the ABC 25 years ago. Has been used fitted out and stripped and fitted out again several times. Over the years she has been an OB van, tapes truck, link truck, OB van again and now she is just used as a tender. Affectionately called "the merc"

A variety of uses! It's good though that companies still use old vehicles...

Were you there AE? I did smile at a couple of ABC reps but they kinda gave me the confused look.

Is this the same truck that OBs from events within Perth to the Piazza in Northbridge?

Budget cuts maybe

I hope they don't repaint that truck with the new ABC logo... the old school logo suits it

Yes, but high above everyone else (in the cold gusty wind ) from the best seat in the house.

Cool!...there's a story for the grandkids
