Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Hey up Wrighty, yes its a lot easier when livestock is outside, see you had a bit of wet more than can be said for down here but some on its way apparently, Buzzer

Sunday working or not as they are as Gazzer says “on snap” and he is the only live vehicle there, they need to level up dont you know, Buzzer

The end of service for this DIT Scania departing Tracy Island for the last time to its new home this morning, done over a million Kms in its nine years with us and looks well too, Commodore Barr gets his new 500s this week and starts the journey all over again, Buzzer.

Definitely Whoo Hoo time for two drivers today when they take charge of there new mounts, they are cool motors, Buzzer

Looking good should be some Happy drivers.

No words needed, Buzzer

Evening Buzzer

The new motors look really smart especially with the trailer behind, saw the video on FB and it looked mint a credit to you and the lads.
I was down your way yesterday tipped concrete on one of Longleat’s estate farms, then over to Clanfield to load a tractor then picked up a digger this morning near Hambledon. Tipped off on the way up north and loading Carlisle in the morning for Stirling, then back down to load machines out of Scotgrass near Dumfries.

Cheers Wrighty.

Dennis the boys intended to keep the last lot for eight years but due to the late arrivals of the new trucks by at least six months alot of the olduns were well into there ninth year of service, having said that they were on contract maintained for the duration, if they perform like the previous ones suspect they will do eight years also. When I ran the company they were replaced every three years and covered under warranty for the duration of service, the worrying thing is this may be the last new ones I will see arrive as im’e cracking on a bit now, Buzzer

Well Buzzer there’s an old fashioned saying “That only the good die young” so I reckon you’ll still be around for the next two DIT fleet changes—at least ! :wink: :smiley: :sunglasses: Cheers Dennis.

Still got the coat hanger in his gob, Buzzer

Evening all this was last trip in old R11 parked in a very good restaurant Fiorenzuola Italy before tipping next day
