Hi all,
I donāt think weāve seen this GUY image on here before? I remember going to Tony Morganās yard in the 1970ās.The first time I ever went there,he was converting,maybe? this actual Guy from a rigid to an artic unit.Tony later went onto run some very big heavy haulage gearā¦
It would have been hard going with all that power! I bet the driver welcomed that Marathon Morgans ran with open arms!

One for mr ward this is in gilders bourton on the water cheers John
Morning John,
Never knew you came that far up from Bridgend, surely Oldbury depot is closer?

Hi all,
Around six months ago,a plan was hatched for a road run in memory of our dear friend Kelvin Powell who sadly lost his brave fight against leukaemia almost a year ago.So a number of us met at shifnal Shropshire last Friday night.After a proper breakfast at The Lazy Trout on Saturday we had a great run down the A49 to Leominster,then onto Hay On Wye and The Brecon Beacons.Saturday nights parking was at The High Tide Inn On Porthcawl seafront.An Excellent weekend in memory of a true proper mate,R.i.p. Kelv.
Hi Andrew,have you recovered yet as your missus said you were fragile 
happy birthday for tomorrow mate John

Morning Andrew,
It looks like you and the lads have had a good run round and a fitting memory to Kelvin, it is a pity they never transferred Roger to a station like Hereford for a while, you would have had loads of South Wales pictures then!
What has happened to your partner in crime? Steelboy F10 of FL10 now!! Cheerās Pete
