Aye Tony, your body tells you when it's time to stop! I fancied a ride around the village in a chaps Sentinel S4 steamer last year, he was giving cab rides around the village he resides in, but when I looked at the cab step and how high from the floor it was I thought "I'm going to look a right plonker if I can't get up into the cab" so declined. I was never that good at getting into trucks on the passenger side anyway (unlike Chris Webb who seemed to spend longer there than in the driving seat! ) as things didn't fall naturally, but I wouldn't mind a ride out with somebody one day before I turn my toes skywards!

On a different matter Dave Mackenzie has sold up and finished last week, but you probably know that already.

Pete.

No stamina johnboydor, I'd have thought that you could have stayed on the heavies until you were genuinely old, when you get a birthday greeting from Her Mag.
On a serious note, congratulations, keep going while you're still enjoying it.
I'm sure in such a long and industrious career, there would have been more than a few entertaining anecdotes, that you could add to the Trucks, Tracks and Tall Tails thread.

2021 at MOT and the tester informed me of a small nick in one of the CV boots and advised " get yourself a bicycle puncture repair kit", I did that and got the all clear this year.

More wit.
Once a year the Day Centre for the elderly put on a show and this year it was the Amazing Claude a hypnotist of wide repute who started of by saying "unlike most hypnotists I will not be inviting individuals on stage, I will hypnotise each and and everyone one of you in your seats" He produced a beautiful gold pocket watch and chain and said " I want you all to watch carefully" and began to gently swing the watch back and forth and in mellowed tone he said "You will now feel drowsy and drift away into a deep sleep and on my command you will wake again"
The chain broke and the watch smashed on the floor........Claude shouted s**t.
It took 3 days to clean up the Day Centre

I saw the first picture and thought I was in for a treat, but didn't recognise a lot of those cars.
I have a Pommie mate who loves those CA Bedfords though, he's restoring a rare (here) Series Land Rover with a Dormobile back. It needs to be finished in time for a trip we have planned, to Cooma next Easter, to celebrate Land Rover's 75th.
