Great pics Ben, cheers for the PTM ones. Il show them to the owner, he will be pleased to see them cheers.

That merc is only 3 weeks old, Megaspace 500, was really impressed when i went in it.
Then i went with the bloke who has got the new scania, a Topline R500, and that was just awsome, beats the merc hands down im afraid, by far the best ive been in so far. :slight_smile: :sunglasses: :slight_smile:

I just knew that was you standing there waving and taking pics :wink:

I’d just been up the road at Whitfield unloding wine at P&O Ferries that I’d bought up from Bordeaux,when you saw me I was going back up to take the train.

We use the train all the time now,when there were big problems in Calais earlier this year we were arriving late at Jaguar and Land-Rover so we stopped using the ferry.
I do see the odd Willi-Betz on the train,but not many.

15

Nice one Ben, sounds like you had a good day out.

16

Nice pics Ben,hope u enjoyed your day out. :wink:

17

Nice pics, pity tho the majority are foreign and not many english registered!!! probably due to the fact that there arent that many crossing over now and it shows!!

Was surprised Caffrey has gone down that road! Anyone got news on the matter ?

18

nice pics mate !! :smiley:

19

Routier, i think there is mostly foreign truck photos and not many english is because Ben prefers foreign trucks, the way they look and that, i dont think he is into many English companys, i may be wrong :confused:

:slight_smile: :slight_smile:

yeah i am interesting in foreign lorries but mostly of Eastern European lorries and Willi Betz too. Sometime I take the pics of british, irish and scotland lorries if they running to European regular work like Ralph Davies, Cranleigh and Stobart International etc…

Soon I will going tback to Dover again for more picture and try get more new number serial of betz truck! :sunglasses:

Ben.
