ajt:
^^Is that Lochmaben by any chance?Often see this Scania around north of England / Scotland. Some kind of horse stunt team iirc.
It might be, or Annan or something. I don’t really remember, I was heading for Ruthven via this pararel route that branch out of A702 (or A701 maybe) that goes from Beattock to Dumfries.
spotted this pic on a Volvo dealer’s Twitter earlier
MADBAZ:
Does this count0
Sorry couldn’t resist
Thats My Mum, haha
And we still have a F12 on an 86 D plate which is still running, with 2.6 Million K’s on the clock…and Mum can drive it !
Cross post from “Older wagons still earning their corn”:
A 1969 (yes, 44 years old) Commer I came across the other day, still at work. Almost certainly the oldest still earning in Australia (there are older Commers here but all are show ponies).
It’s not in show-winning nick either, and all the better for it:
It’s a 6-wheeler, don’t know whether it was always this way or it had a lazy (tag) axle grafted on, CAT-engined.

Caught this before, but was in our yard again the other day and an elderly lady like her deserves some respect.

Cracking photo of Les Bastons Sed/Aki, Les is a good friend of mine, And he has had this motor for a long time now and keeps it going, Well done Regards Larry.
waking up in a camper to the sound of a 320 big cam heaven.
Aye the sound of a real motor firing up at 5.00 am, Music to my ears, Regards Larry.
Don’t suppose anyone has seen a light blue Volvo FL7 4x2 with a 235bhp engine under the cab pulling a tri axle fridge trailer around yorkshire. Saw one pulling out of our yard last week was in shock seeing a little motor still plugging a days work away. Sounded sweet though for a volvo 
Cheers
