0Hi all, thank’s for that Gary i knew somebody would know. It still look’s the same on street view. :sunglasses:

That picture reminds me of being on that loading bay during the Red Brigade troubles, I was sitting in Francos
Opposite when suddenly there was a huge explosion! Within minutes the whole Italmondos building was evacuated and a full roll call of all the staff was made on the pavement. When the excitement died down I wandered back to my lorry only to find one of my Bandags had spontaneously blown out I nearly pmsl!

Takes you back when you see that picture of Italmondo’s when you spent most of the day going round picking up freight form here there and everywhere then back in there to top off but they unloaded most of your collections as they were going on another truck and half the time not an British one to boot, same used to happen in Prato at Albini & Pittigliani, Mary Hopkins moments them spring to mind, chairs Buzzer.

Hi all, that look’s like El Longo name plate in the windscreen of Mr & Mrs Evan’s Renault. Great truck’s they were. :sunglasses: That’s my opinion anyway :laughing:

Mate where did you get that picture from ? what if anything do you know about SCA think they shipped out of Southampton but before my time, Buzzer.

Hi JD
Did quite abit for them back in the day I think they were from Southampton, not sure also did alot for Wetram i think out of Newhaven, general haulage not realy my scene

.

Hi all, i could be wrong but Is that SCA the same SCA international from Avonmouth i can remember some of the let’s say more mature Southampton driver’s talking about them but long before my time if memory serves me well Graham Richardson and i believe Micky Leach drove for them doing Italy. But i could be wrong about all this. :sunglasses:

Hi Gerbil, My digital skills are few, and those that I have are self taught, and I have nobody close by
to help with laptop difficulties…My wife has never set foot on a computer. :smiley: :wink:

Try this for turning your pictures around. Right click on the picture…Click on " Save image as ".
put a title in the " File name " slot…Click on "Open "…then click on a little dot inside a partial
circle at the top ( Rotate ). This will turn the picture 90 degrees, then do it again, another 90 degrees.

I expect many Trucknet contributors have a far easier way to do it, Give it a go. :smiley: :wink:

Cheers, Ray.

I, rather selfishly, simply click and turn it round for myself. :neutral_face: :wink: :laughing:
