Hi John,
Louis Bull’s Volvo was driven by Jimmy James R.I.P, Stuart’s (Nig Eurohaul) dad lovely bloke do anything for you, here’s another one of Louis Bull’s driver was a guy called Terry.
Angie and I towed this back from the South of France after it had been left at an IVECO dealer when it had broken down,got as far as Paris before the police stopped us, we were towing it with an artic with 23 ton of Alessio tubi out of Turin I think Gazzer came out with Louis in the Joker and finished the journey

Hi Steve Jones, i never did work for Mammoth / Bulldog, but knew many of their drivers.
I was also in Calais during the drivers blockade, i was there for 2 or 3 days…cant remember now.
