Hello,
Eddie Stobart Fan, after reading your post again, your half wrong. Yes, of cause people have heard of the Companies listed, otherwise why would we be talking about them?
But, your right on Eddie Stobart though

pete 359:

The old Stobarts had one of the the smartest livery IMHO.

Now “george” who’s side are you on? There is nothing nice about “early Eddie livery”! IMO too much green and rubbish lettering but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder!! when did you last have your eyes testing? Obviously a while ago!! you should have gone to Spec Savers marra!! Cheers Dennis.

Cheers “H”,Dennis.

Chris Webb:
Well we don’t see any ESL units and trailers in t’Isle of Man but we had the odd one or two fridge boxes of his last Xmas.
By the way IOM Dept of Transport call all their wagons DOT to save money,not much fun lorry spotting in t’IOM

“george” Belfast is in Northern Ireland! not the IOM,You’ll have Mr.Webb rushing down to his Pharmacist in the morning and accusing him of perscribing the “wrong gear”!! Or he may just “amble” down to his local and tell the Barman that he must have had a “bad” pint last evening,as someone told him he actually lived in Belfast!! Cheers Dennis.

Hello.
Thanks to hodgeturbo for posting the M&N Garners lorry. I’ll be posting some photos of Viv Lightfoot and Garners today (will be on by 7.00pm at the latest).
P.S. Has anyone got any photos of J.J Bateman’s lorries before he packed in? Seen his classic Aktinson at rallies around ■■■■■■■■ I think he ran a Volvo FH12 and a Iveco Eurocargo before they closed.
Can anyone Help?
