Good morning Harvey. Still in the Rawlings family. It’s now run by Kevin Rawlings whois the Nephew of Jimmy RIP. A really nice guy and a warm human being. I’m only saying
this in case he’s watching. Only fault I can see is there aren’t enough lights on the tractors.
Regards Charlie
Need all them lights Charlie they go chain harrowing with them tractors at the weekend, Buzzer.

You still looking for a job Charlie… they could fork lift you in, and you could fall out when you get there…hitch your mobility scooter on the back, like a double B outfit…sorted…

Dave. That is a thought. Not a good one may I add. The forklift and the scooter on the back are sound. However the falling out bit doesn’t grab me. Thanks for thinking of me. You’ve got a good heart. Regards Charlie

You’re right Harvey. If I was ever weekended with a empty tilt,I would do my washing and hang it up in there. Stopped people from nicking your towels etc. Also stopped people like Mappo leering at my underpants! Regards Charlie
Richard…Good afternoon. How many times have I told you. Nights are for eating sleeping and carrying on!
Not that you would know anything about that eh? Regards Charlie

Richard, we’re both good thanks, and you and Angie too I hope…
Guess a simpler idea would be fixing a fifth wheel and a tag to his scoot, a raincoat and crash hat and he’s on his way…

theres a tree missing in the field behind.
I remember drive her for 3 weeks when Phil had his 1st boy, had to reverse in every delivery didn’t make a bad job of it
Didn’t the bogie go into LTS6 to make her a tri axle which was a lovely trl to tow even though she did bounce about bit under braking when empty

Some good responses,though Charlie is obviously approaching it from a pecuniary angle-5t scrap ally has to be worth a few shillings!
& Buzzer-don’t know if he’s coming or going & I think Suedehead is confusing front wheel drive & rear wheel drive ! Pete: close but no cigar !
Whilst the UK was limited to 32T Gross,20T was the normal payload.However this vehicle operated at 38T carryied 25T by loading 10T on the rigid,15T on the trlr (which was loaded using another unit) & hitching up in the dock.Initially a lot of it’s work was 25 T rubber from Fawley’s Butyl plant to various Michelin & Pirelli factories in Italy reloading 25T chemicals for Romsey w/hse from Turin. It was underpowered & often the “tail wagged the dog”. Thorersen was the preferred ferry crossing as reversing onto the Dragon or Leopard required special skills, patience & several spare pairs of underwear!
The fact that the combined outfit had 48ft of combined bed space also made it attractive for certain light traffics
With the advent of 38T,the advantage ceased & the vehicle reverted to being a 16T 4 wheeler-albeit in it’s solo roll somewhat overpowered!
I think my natural greed overtook my common sense! Regards Charlie
