Avoidable runaway

I assume you mean those 116 series Ford's?

We had several in my center. They were great until the regular brakes got wet and you had to pull the micro/park brake to stop.
I was talking about the old micro-brakes that all the package trucks had on them back in the 70's. I was a parking brake system that was tied right into the hydraulic brakes of the truck. When you stopped you pushed on the brake pedal and flipped a switch that locked the pedal down --locking the brakes on.

he didnt get fired because he tried to be buddy buddy he got fired because he did something wrong and got caught.

They are called Mico here but we called them Micro---don't know why.


The video even says they are for multi delivery vehicles also

If couldnt drive a stick i wouldn't be a driver dummy so your hub must have new manual shifts or something
That's epic, you calling someone a dummy. Friend, you really need to go back through 14 pages and re-read what you wrote. I would explain it to you but I have a feeling it would be lost in translation.
