Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

I had one , came with my new bike er , a while ago . Front light was fine but blew bulbs for fun in the back light .

Yes I have seen them in museums, actually my grandfather had one on his bike when I was a kid in the fifties.

Bet all you lot cut out a strip of cardboard and had it running on the spokes when you were kids making out it sounded like an engine, after a while I made one out of tin as when it rained the cardboard ones fell apart, good old days when we were youngen’s eh, Buzzer.

ahh memories buzzer , we used lolly sticks cut down to fit in the gap of the brake block adjuster… :smiley:

I always thought Steven’s were an all Scania fleet but obviously not Oily. :wink:

Good, quiet place to stop overnight or for a brew. Cool in the summer. I used to prefer The Frejus, even when not on ADR.

Who wants to have a mobile ā€œbrothelā€ aka Scania, if you can have this instead! :wink: ahum… coat…

I used to use the sole of my shoe against the spokes on my old Hercules to make a noise. Worked fine until I put my shoe in too far one day and went ar§e over t!t and hit the ground with on hell of a thud. I didn’t do it again…

Hi Dan

You do a cracking job on everything you do

Wish I had a workshop like that

Cheers
Rich

Hi Rich thank you ,it’s not my workshop where the trailer is ,it is the first time I’ve sent a chassis out to be done by others .we are going next week to build it up to fetch back ready for full re wire & new floor .cheers Dan .

Yes I concur with Rich Dan, I don’t know much about this sort of thing as in my time as a transport
manager I only ever bought new vehicles so how does this compare rebuilding something on this scale to buying something brand new and what’s its life expectancy afterwards?

Iam just a bit particular you could say ,buying something new I’am of mixed opinion really ,if I bought a new chassis I’d still have it painted .the more one looks at new stuff the more you see corners cut ,I had a new sprinter in 2019 they have only sprayed top coat where you can see :open_mouth:other areas are left in primer .
I do like knowing that failed parts will come off easy because I used grease last time :laughing:
I like to keep vehicles & trailers a long time .

Based on Renault, that DAC, complete with slap-across syncro-shift. I know this because I got holed up with a Romanian in Holland once, with no prospect of loading until the next day. It was a bitterly cold January day so we sat in his cab and drank hooch. He’d latched onto me because I was driving an artic for a Dutch firm but on Belarus reg-plates and ā€˜Minsk’ on the door! So he assumed I was an EE driver. It confused him so much, he was forced to get the bottle out. It all went nicely downhill from there!

Tilt anyone?

I wonder what the badge above the n/s headlight on 618J reads, also has it a different front panel?

Looks like Gar . . . then it gets a bit blurred
