So after breakfast a few of us went over to Garys place to collect a few machines he was passing on, that's the beauty of this hobby, fix up, restore and recycle.
So Jon & Danny in one car and Mikey n me in together and guess what we all saw at a crossroads and immediately there was a screech of brakes...
On many petrol forcourts are these vending laundry systems, From Kis Laundry systems come an 8kg and 18kg washing machines, soft mounted with fast spins and an 18kg tumble dryer, they dispense autodose Amway detergent. [this post was last edited: 9/1/2018-09:07]
