Astran / Middle East Drivers

STRAIGHT EIGHT:
Hi GS, sem to remember seeing Bob and his Scammell in truck magazine, a Long distance Diary feature, think the story was about Peter Lea Trucking F12, in Orient Freight colours, was it that trip?

Now you have got the old thinking box working!!
I do vaguely remember seeing Poggi in one of the editions, and yes hold on a minute…the mist is clearing, I think he was standing with his arms folded with the old Scammell in the background and the main article was with one of Peters.
I think that the Orient truck was going to or coming back from Kuwait and Bob was on a Doha trip.
But we used to do so many trips that I can’t say exactly. Sorry, I’m starting to go off on one here!!
In answer to your question, no it wasn’t that trip, because if it was then I would have got in the article and had my 15minutes of fame!

Carrot…first of all, welcome to the TN forums!!!..so is that you in the trailer, if so whats the story then?

You loading on route to or tipping on the way back from M/E or any where interesting??

There is plenty of interest in those who have done the ME run on here as you will probably see and quite a few old ME hands to tell em!! :laughing:

Any tales or pics would be much appreciated :wink:

Cheers, bullitt.

no not me in picture,this is rabbits truck he bought part of the stage in from turkey and joined with 15 other trucks in rome on tour with madonna 2006, just about to turn trailer into kitchen, as we swere stuck for 10days catering in moscow. Not good

Ah-haaaa!!!..you must be in one of Kindles or Euromatts gangs then!! :laughing: :wink:

There are quite a few chaps who do the “R&R” tours, on here.

No not me, just doing a little bit for EST, I met rabbit in rome had a great time with him on the rest of the tour and got the bug to do the middle east. Did my first trip march this year with Chris hooper.

You did■■? :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Nice one…there are quite a few chaps on here who would love an oppotunity to run down there but there seems to be no way of getting in.

It seems to be either owner drivers or guys doing sellers.

Well, if you get any spare time and fancy telling the rest of us how it was then crack on mate…there are lots of people here who are interested!!

Are you still running down there or was it a one off trip??

Cheers, bullitt.
