Nice B.I. pics mate. I assume you drove for them.
I drove for them briefly in the latter years, but perhaps you worked with and knew my brother Keith.

Pat

Looks like i,m gonna be busy this week. This new containership just turned up


Mappo Hi Tony do remember you when you were on BI you had an Iveco not
as posh as some of your trucks then you have to slum it sometimes. Remember you were quite keen on fruit machines spent the whole night on a
P&O ferry playing them . I know Kieth I think the last time I saw him he was doing containers a few years ago now , heard is on for Davies I keep an eye out for him when I see one unloading at our place . The photos i posted are the last trip Kieth did for BI the chassis a bit bent , you know the story though.
He was leaving anyway and did not get the sack. The last time I saw you was at Victors I was doing a load of shellfish to Cambados Regards Kev

bi used to come into longs in bradford with psl it was clothes from portugal i think :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hi guys, My late partner, Alex used to be with BI and think you know we worked with PSL for Brintons Carpets in the 90’s. Will add some photo’s on here. Liz

and here she is before renovation, when she was known as The Fast Lady.

hi tony ft
the american truck in lorrains, if you look at the size of the exhaust and the twin air intakes ,it has a gas turbine engine , the front badge is tubine power ,i think this was demo truck , the problem was they were heavy on fuel 4 to5 miles a gallon, a truck in the same colours is in the mack truck historical museam in lehigh valley, in easton pa america , if you go on flickr
type in the search for mack , page 5 the persons name is peachhead, go to
tags click on macktruckhistoricalmuseam, you will see the picture of the mack
with a picture of the gas turbine engine,
regards paul

Hi Anyone remember this chap standing next to an Aerosol Research & Developement F12 rigid, a nicer bloke you couldn’t wish to meet, Cliff Roberts (RIP) sadly killed on the M6 by a mobile crane crossing the central reservation a few years ago. He drove for Eurohaul for many years doing the records to Le Mans.

Hi Kev, i think i,ve worked out who you are. ( TIR ORIGINAL,s Brother ? )
How are you and what you up to these days? Got any more pics ?

Scanialady142

I remember Alex from B.I. days, one of the good guys, a real gent.
Belated condolences to you.

Honby00

Thanks for that info Paul

MaggieD

I recall Cliffs fatal accident on the M6 a few years ago and i remember when Cliff and John ? used to do that record job for Eurohaul.
Where was it they used to go? I know it was,nt far, did,nt they do a few trips a week ?

Anyone remember this guy?. Olly i think his name was. Drove for Glaywood transport out of Soton.

MaggieD

Ignore my question mate, i,ve just re-read yours and can see that it was Le Mans they used to run to. ( I think senility is creeping in )

Willie Roadstar

Sorry i cant help you mate, pic was taken just a few years before my time
over the water, but there,s a few old,ns on here that should be able to help


Here is a couple of Pete Stansbridge somewhere in Italy. Pete was a great
bloke sadly died a while back.
Mappo I know I have had a hard life not that old Iam his son , probably the one
hitters I used to do :blush: Work for Tesco now did not think I would stick it long
been here 7 years now . Got used to the hand signs from others drivers and I dont mean thumbs up.

KNS64

was thinking about. Good pic of Pete, yet another good,n to have left us.
