ah you mean the london stores dan . mr mackay is one of life’s characters , sells anything and everything , and if he hasn’t got what you want , he will get on the next delivery . bervie stores ( spar shop ) is open till 8pm as well . you should try a holiday up there dan , very chilled out , what doesn’t get done today will do tomorrow . the car broke down this year and we had to wait a couple of days for spares and we park 2 miles from richonich . norman elrick from the garage turned up saturday morning , took a shopping list and delivered the groceries on sunday . where else would you get that sort of kindness shown ? cheers , dave
A tourist’s car breaks down in the heilans, car bonnet up, head scratching 
, a passing motorist pulls up and offered help, a couple o’ minutes under the bonnet, bingo she’s going again, the happy tourist says hey you must be a mechanic, back came the reply… na laddie am a MacKenzie.
oh dear 
, ah well I’m off

I use to own a 1943 Chevy truck which we found in a field but we restored her to her former glory
last but by no meens least I have this little irrational truck (toy) 
A few pics I found for sale on the dreaded ebay maybe of interest.

A lot of Scottish steel moving down the M6

Memory jogger there with the Tennants of Forth wagon, a smallish town, (more of a village in the 50s) Forth was fairly remote and here is a useless bit of info about Forth, it was home to the Gracie family with five sons, all well over 6ft, the tallest George at 7ft 3ins was Scotlands tallest man, if I remember rightly they had a garage/filling station, stopping there for fuel, there was a good chance of George manning the pumps. Drivers used to talk about going over Forth (A706), with its switchback hills. I’ve done it once or twice.

Hi Mr Badger, you should be well proud of that lot, dedication unlimited, well done yourself and whoever else helps, seeing the Cat brings me to post this engine for you, taken in June at Leverburgh, Isle of Harris.

Here’s a couple more Tennants. Nice story about Forth, it’s good when a photo
stir’s a memory. These two have the same reg. T888TTF. The one with the flat
trailer was on the same job as the convoy I posted and was one of five of
Tennants that day.
