Hi Buzzer, Thanks for the welcome,
Re, Jim Squibb, he was a very hard man to work for and wanted his pound of flesh, but if you did right by him he looked after you. Yes he did look after the wagons, He once went to a Porsche dealer in his overalls, and the salesman apparently told him he couldn’t afford one. He wasn’t a happy man and went else where then drove a new 928 to the dealer who told him he couldn’t afford one.
On the Autocross they used a single decker coach to transport the two vehicles in and all the supplies and tools, then slept in it at night. I also heard Barry caught Malaria on a trip to Saudi, so he became office bound due to Foreign Medical requirements. I should thing If Jim is still drinking diesel he’ll be a round 95 plus and Barry must be at least 60? industrial park just North of the Docks, perhaps his name will come back to me but then that’s like asking for a reduction in age.
Re, Matsolex, one of their drivers (Dennis) lived in Salisbury and ended up driving Busses due to health problems created from going to all the refineries and carrying Hazmat, You know its funny I can see their faces but names are a mystery now, but then I believe most truckers are the same way because your always moving and never really get to know your colleges.
Jim Squibb has long gone, I watched him ride many times. wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread … mmy-squibb
