hi , you got a copy on me ghostrider c,mon.
i dont blame dave stroud not wanting to work for you,when you told him you had got the very latest wagon with auto trans i dont think he had this in mind. 
i suppose it was handy pulling for chettles as they could recycle the engine when it was worn out. i have,nt seen abbot lately, he must be busy counting his money, 
he is into recycling bicycles now. nice to see you on here dicky boy,talk with you later.cheers diesel

Mine was “Tankmaster” on AM late 70s to mid 80s I thought FM spoilt it so did not bother with it. I had an “Avanti Moonraker” and you could get a breaker for 20 miles qyite easy. Other names I knew were “Hungry Hippo” and the General L.P.G. Falkirk Whisky drinker red grouse Sammy andersons and “Woodstock” woodside. Cannonball Van Hee and the prizefighter from Darlington
