Photos of you your lorry and your girl

This is me and my girl with the 470 Eurostar what a lorry that was.
I had driven a 143 470 450 and a 500 streamliner for Stuart Taylor but out of all of them I would take the Eurostar.

Photo was taken in Portsmouth in 1998.

LOL, to be fair I’m 58 now I was 34 when the photo was taken.
My girl is 50 mother to three still looks good though.
Post a photo of you and your lady and the lorry in your younger days.

A long time ago now but my girlfriend at the time used to travel all over Europe with me.

Early 80s …when I first met my Mrs in her modelling days,.she gave it all up for me. :sunglasses:
She still looks stunning today. …as do I. :laughing:

Last year Phil :laughing:

It was an ex ICI Atkinson Borderer with a 220 ■■■■■■■ and a Fuller box…and no power steering. :open_mouth: :laughing:
I bought it off an owner driver who did the sleeper cab conversion.
It was 9 years old when I bought it in 83, but I knew its history, and knew it to be a good reliable old workhorse, which is what I needed to get started.
It was a shock to the system after coming off a brand new F10 Volvo as an employed driver. :smiley:
I kept it for a year and changed it for the 2800 DAF,.which wasn’t a great move tbh, but there you go. :smiley:
This was it in it’s previous livery,.and another pic of my DAF

That’s some leap from a new F10 to a 1974 Atki Robroy.
You did well running that for a year.
Bit of an endurance test.

I admire your steadfastness.
Anymore photos of the Atki ?
