@citaro5284 - I guess the Volvo Presidents aren't as bad as the Vykings, I've always been fond of them for some reason. I didn't ride many Palatine 1s during my early days as a solo enthusiast, but I gather they managed okay. They were built to last forever, at the end of the day!

Last time I rode a Vyking on the X20 Sunderland - Durham it struggled up any slight hill.

Although I had 6020 on the X20 the other night and it has been the best President I've been on in a while, helped that it was late and there was time to make up.
