GREY
GREY
lashed on 15 quid a gallonGet out! For me, on older machinery at least, I like the traditional darker colours: Burgundy, Brunswick Green, Black, really dark Blue etc. Absolutely detest things like the yellows and light blues which they lather on hire equipment.

That never occurred to me when I was ragging a light blue Escort 1600 Sport through the lanes of Tip, must have been around 1990. The dark blue Quattro I took over there in later years caused more discussion, you could never get out of an attendant service petrol station in under half an hour that became the slowest car I had ever driven.The cop cars here in ireland used to all be a particular shade of blue, so at the time it was not a popular colour for other cars, in fact it still isnt, but, i do think its an interesting shade and not too dark either
Reeekie as in tractor conversions ??I'm quite fond of blue, albeit what evers cheap works.
Reekie red also has a personal attachment (family members worked at reekie manufacturing for years)
aye my old man had a vjneyard grey fergie with reekie back endReeekie as in tractor conversions ??
striped sign held verticall probaly meant we cant weld uphillReekie as in Cleanflow2000, Reliance and other agri kit
Logo was a bloke with a striped sign held vertically, some of their kit was at one point painted green and branded netagoreekie
Been defunct now for....12-14 years now...
Thats the one I am talking about,would like one of those old fergies,ferguson followed suit after a while and brought out the "factory" vineyards.aye my old man had a vjneyard grey fergie with reekie back end
..........after laying my old man and a good few others off as it would "save a fortune" by subcontracting it.....they then started laying off experienced staff left right and centre, with a lot of the decent welders then working in Portlethen / Aberdeen directly for Brandt etc...shortly after the firm went belly up.
Someone left a door open, and an Accountant got in?
