Now then Mr Dunbar, as you might know I’m an Islay whisky man but last evening I ventured into new territory, I’d been bought a bottle of TALISKER (Skye) and I have to report…it’s superb. So, if anybody wants to send a POOR old pensioner anything, I’m now an Islay AND a Skye man.

I might be a bit late with this, but going back to the pics of those funny little three wheeled trucks, there was a guy who turned up at Santa Pod a couple of seasons back with a tuk-tuk with a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa engine/transmission inserted into it. It was so quick it was bordering on dangerous…I always thought that drag racing was all about straight lines? This thing never travelled further than six inches in a straight line…

Hi les, referring back to my comments about the convoys of Scottish lorries coming down through Carlisle in the late 50s and 60s McGawns of Ayr and Percy Hull Ltd a company I had forgotten about were a regular sight loaded with combine harvesters from the Massey Harris factory at Kilmarnock. Oswald Transport from Trabboch , Ayr were also regulars carrying steel forgings south for the motor industry…
I have just recently found out thet Gibbs of Fraserburgh are back in business after a 14 year abcence from the industry. Good to see the old livery reinstated.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

I remember passing lots of BRS Leyland Mastiff,s from Ayrshire carting Combines on low step frame trailers they seemed to head to Southampton on a weekly basis … I would be on my way back home (North) from Andover with a load of Norton motorbikes … happy days
