According to Smithy this was on a sunday in Spain in the 80’s at first he thought it was just a small fire but the Spaniards were waving white flags and shouting alot and it turned out to be a tanker had caught fire so it was better to keep your distance.

Oh how hurtful you both are,If I remember correctly the money I gave over various bars (of which was never my fault), I think I payed for Sagres to build a new brewery, and don’t ever remember getting a discount for my trouble.
My oppo was either Mick Hennessy or Ian Penny (the 3 porkatiers)…And I resemble the fact that you said we were like Girt & Daisy…
Ha! yes and probably we paid for the old Vegelana to be renovated as well.
'Twas Ian Penny, I was thinking of…what’s he up to now?
My abiding memory of Mick Hennessy … a few of us stuck in La Junquera for a few days with customs strike late 70’s/early 80’s?
a couple of Rawlings boys , myself Mick and a few others palled up for the duration, fun and frolics… After a particularly long lunch, Polly said the wrong thing to Mick ( I know not what ! ) and mick got him on the floor , sitting astride him threatening to change his face…Think they kissed and made up later…
Another one of Smithys F88 with a neat no frills 111 next door,no flags no dream catchers not Mapsonited ( sorry Tone ) and is that an Interoute F88 on the end next to the pigasso chicken shed you decide,it was always waiting in them days,cheers Buzzer.
I forgive ya Buzzer, nice period shot of the time.
Surely that,s not an Interoute motor, wrong colour…Unless it was a subby of course.

Cant make out the sign writing but it looks like it has that “v” formation that they used to use,and it looks like a kangaroo trailer and i think it is british reg to,Cheers Buzzzer.
By the colours of that 88, is it not PROMOTOR? But it is definately a Kangaroo behind it.
By the way, I like the weather we are having!
As it was hissing down today me and the Boss went to Peter Greens to buy a new bed and i took a copy of this picture of this old GUY vixen which was hanging on the wall in the bed department,it was the transport of the day for the matress manufacturers,cheers Buzzer.
NB.no reg plates perhaps it was new.

Hi Colin this belonged to a subbie of ours called Ian Elkins and Horry said he had a bloke called " Septic " a yank drive it for him,pic taken outside what was Lorraines truck park,dont know where the truck came from but we never ran F16 cos in the wrong hands they were very juicy, cheers Buzzer.
thanks John.
whilst you were out furniture hunting I decided to trawl the net. I must admit it’s turned up some great pics, some for here and some for Soton hauliers.
apologies if you have already seen them.
Colin
Hi Colin nice old pics G87 we bought new along with G88 and G86 which Mark Dellagarna had,H660 second hand plus its two sister trucks and of course VTA our F88 has its own story to tell, have a look on the first page of this thread,cheers Buzzer.

I just could not remember hills that steep in Germany,cheers Buzzer.
Hello Colin. Lovely to see some ‘never seen before’ pics on here. That shot of Elky’s F16 and G87 XBK is just to the right of the ‘out gate’ of the original Lorraines when the road used to circle all the way round Eurohauls yard. I remember when I was a nipper having a Sunday outing in that F16 up to Barry dock in Wales to drop off a Rentco / CTR fridge near to where the bananas would load from. I can remember as well washing it off for Elky one very rainy Saturday afternoon in the newly acquired LS Commercials premises at Belgrave Road which I think would have been around 1991?
As Buzzer said, G86 / 87 / 88 all came new at the same time from Southway Scania who were by then, up at Segensworth East just across the road from where we are now. I went on a trip to Italy with Steve ‘Rocky’ Cherrett in her. Last pic of H66O CKM was Mr Clue’s pride and joy. ‘Welcome to the Pleasure Dome’ eh Pete? You must have been on holiday that week mush. Bye for now.
