Hello Mark,

Apologies if you already know, but it maybe of some interest to other members, Longthorne's do have their own website with two Gallery pages showing pictures of some of their old motors; which I found pretty interesting.

Go to: http://www.web-cell.co.uk/longthornes/

Kind regards

good photos sam the volvo looks well but it should at only 11 months old its the daf that still stands well though with being long wheelbase the bodys still straight as well not bad for 16 year old cant beat a wilcox body, daf versus volvo i know what youll be thinking see you, bibs

Hi Bibs,
Look on the UK drivers forum at the DAF XF 105 thread and look
at Muckaways reply.He's a expert tipper driver.
Cheers Malc.

[Truck Traveller]

Hello Folks,

Hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas Holiday with your families.

Here are some festive A65 photos.







P.S. I joined trucknet earlier this year and for me it's been 'a real good experience' (starting on this thread). A special thanks therefore to Malc who's managed to get hold of some cracking photos.

Wife's not quite as enthusiastic, but hey ho you can't win them all (come to think of it; any as far as she's concerned).

Kind regards

Simon

Hiya Malc,two nice shots there,what was the date approx?I remember that Malc Woodhouse bought an 8 wheeler Atki tipper along with what he told me was a lucrative job from the Quarry to Preston with dust.The regular driver came with the motor as well but I can't re-call his name although MW spoke well of him! Cheers Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
Talking to David Bradshaw today the driver of the 8 wheeler
was Dereck Rigby ? The dust went to Cottamhall Brickworks Fullwood nr Preston
3 loads a day.
The reason MW spoke well of him was he used to chauffer
MW around probably to North End!
P.S David said he once bought a Atki unit from you because it
had a good radio in it but when he went to collect it radio had
dissapeared along with anybody who might have known about it !!

Cheers Malc.

Hiya Malc,All the Best to you for 2011! I can't re-call the sale of the Atki,but if I sold something "as seen" it was delivered in that condition! Maybe the radio was the drivers property which they did occaisionlly fit in the workshop.I did used to have to lay down the law sometimes as the fitters would have picked the carcasses clean on those motors I sold!!!!! Get me a reg no and I'll have a think on it! Dennis.
