shady, well done i’m glad someones a wake this afternoon, how are you doing, long time no see,are you
still driving,
paul.

fte…i,m still baffled. As Shady has just posted my first thought was F-truck… the nickname for Paul
the electrician, but he has already been on here with a different user name.
Am i right in assuming i know you from Davies ■■

jimski…■■■■…you,ve sussed me out.

Shady…I would have thought that being an old drinking buddy, you might not stoop to the level of the
others on here. But hey…now i know who my friends are. They obviously dont come onto Trucknet.

13903

I consulted Todd today about the “A” Series ERF shown above sporting the KINGSWOOD headboard. Neither of us can remember “Flacky” having an “A” Series in his pre VOLVO fleet. By coincindence, the truck is orange as some of the hotch potch of pre VOLVO trucks were. Our theory is that this truck was based in or near Kingswood in Bristol.
