Surely only one of the Scania 80 series get one of them and i’ll move next door to you and throw stones at it as well but because i’m retired it’ll have to be on the way to the pub.
thanks harry long retired.

Your looking great for 46years on the road Joe, bet its got something to do with drinking proper whiskey, (Bushmills or Jaimesons). I am trying to convert Harry Gill but he seems to be sticking to the inferior brands. PS that scania is looking good, it’s even got my surname on the headboard already!!! Regards kevmac47.
In answer to your original question I never wanted to do anything else but drive a lorry. (sorry still don’t like the **UCK word) I started in 1968 as a bus driver,(to get a licence that proved I could handle large vehicles) I only lasted six weeks as a bus driver but I did work at weekends for Hall Bros coaches (Bartons). I’ve driven lorries ever since I now have 77 weeks to retirement I think I had better start seriously counting down !! regards, kevmac47.
Yeh. earliest memory was running to belgium with my dad in an old f7. Passed my test as soon as i could, Been driving 6 yrs and still enjoy it. Still a bit wet behind the ears mind!
