ANDREW WISHART KIRKCALDY

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Hi Geepir, is Willie Mair still going about? Loaded and ran up with him from Ernst Fritsch Vienna many moons ago, steady driver.

Sorry to say stubo that Willie passed away a few months ago. He was 76 I believe. Cracking lad and my old man always said that a better mechanic you will not find.

Really sorry to hear this, remember sitting with him and Fonzy watching a World Cup game in 1990 (Italia) one Saturday afternoon. Now I might be wrong but I’m sure he didn’t drink? RIP Bill.
