changing its body no less than five times to suit each operator's business. Penman Engineering will be fitting a sliding side reefer; Boalloy a curtainsider; Brade-Leigh a
dropside; York a platform; and Besco a box van — so there are bodies to suit just about every operator's needs.
At the end of its time with the five operators we will be asking you to estimate how much fuel it's used and how far it travelled with its temporary owners. To help you get the right • answer, we will be regularly reporting on the Roadrunner's progress and providing plenty of clues to get you on the right track. The first person to guess the correct answer to both questions will win the use of the Runnerthon Roadrunner free for 12 months complete with the Besco box body. For every kilometre the 8.15 covers during the Runnerthon Leyland DAF is pledging 50p to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital donation of guaranteed minimum donation of £5,000.

It the 8.15 does run into mechanical trouble during the Runnerthon, Leyland DAF will pay the charity a forfeit of £1,000 per breakdown. The Runnerthon will officially kick off at our Truckfest weekend on Monday, I May. But before that, we want to hear from companies or owner-drivers interested in taking part. If you would like a Roadrunner for a fortnight, taxed, insured and with a body to suit, complete the form below with details of your business, fleet size, type of operation and body choice.
Commercial Motor and Leyland DAF will then choose five lucky operators and start the Runnerthon ball rolling.
