Old girls still working on Euro work!

Well I didnt know whether to put this on this forum or Old Trucks/drivers/companies:

About 3am this morning I was bobtailing back round the M25 on my way back from Gatwick and as I cam past the M4/M25 junction, I caught up with a Turkish reg fridge. Nothin odd there you would say, but this fridge was being pulled by an aging Fiat TurboStar , the 1980s one with the grilled side windows on the cab!

As far as I could tell, it was white/pale grey in colour

I have no idea of the nationality of the tractor unit as I could see any reg plate when i looked in my mirrors.

Anyone know anything about this truck, or seen any 1970/1980’s trucks doing Euor runs■■?

EDTRUCK…put it on the oldtimers site, probably get more responce, the youg’uns wouldn’t know what an '80’s turbostar is… :unamused:


I saw this old girl still earning a crust last year.

Merci Fergy, tu roule bien??

And I saw the new FORD from Turkey with a silver tilt up beattock last weds afternoon too! Around 12:34 hrs IIRC! :sunglasses: outpulling everyone up there, funny as :sunglasses:
