    A great episode, Mr. Fletch. I’ve always been a Peterbilt fan and am thankful I was able to drive one for a while, but that’s just me. It is fascinating what Kenworth was able to do to get firmly established Down Yonder there. Y’all Large Car drivers down there keep it between the ditches.

Nice to know you are watching. Indeed, I don't think many see eye to eye with Mr Justin 🤣🤣 He is a great guy. He, along with his Brother Turk, run a fantastic & innovative business. They also gave me time years ago, to let me feature them on Classic Restos trucks Edition & we have keep in touch where can ever since. Cheers again Donald, I am around 7 weeks in the USA this year (2024) starting with Carlisle Pennsylvania next week. Regards, Fletch 👍

      @@classicrestostv1fletch764 Mr. Fletch I reside in Alabama. A family emergency brought me here in May of 1998 and ended up staying. I have never regretted it. I have deep family roots on my Mama’s side here and just as deep roots on my Daddy’s side in Georgia and South Carolina as well. The Hollums (back then it was Hallam)family has been here from the Mother Country since August 1620 through Jamestown, Virginia. Keep up the great work with your episodes of Classic Restos. While scanning the background during this episode I did see a Mack Superliner. I imagine there aren’t many Peterbilts down there, huh? Especially since it’s under the same umbrella as Kenworth.
