A definite contender for the worst B7RLE I’ve ever had the misfortune of experiencing, here’s 69011 with it’s knocking engine, ZF worn to dust and horrible suspension. Other than a few interesting gearbox tones I really have nothing positive to say about this thing.
Some very questionable driving skills on display too involving lots of heavy accelerator/brake usage and a plentiful array of unnecessary low-speed downshifts. It’s almost like Ipswich are trying to kill this thing!
