“Paul Gee asked if anyone knew the history of M.Way from Devon who run the orange tippers ■■ He took this pic of a Rnault a few years ago which has
there name on the headboard but the truck is in different colours. It could be on contract possibly or was this there original colour scheme ?”
History here Dean and Paul… wayforbulk.com/history/index.html first fleet Renaults(2) 2006 which figures with Paul’s pic and I would guess a different livery for the scrap metal wagons.

Oily, Paul sends his thanks for the link. 
He also sent me this pic of one of there Volvo’s with Eggbeers name on the front.
I also found the following clipping from a magazine that has the same reg as the Eggbeers Volvo F86 i posted recently.

Good morning Dean,
If i remember rightly Forest Thinnings were a small company, only a few trucks that ran from home with a facility in a woodland near Ringwood.
My old brain tells me this ERF could have been one I sold them that I took in from a Company in Kings Somborne called Barker & Geary, but, I could be wrong. Harvey
Cheers for the info on Forest Thinning Harvey.

What was worst the Marina or the Allegro ■■?
To be fair the 1.8 Marina wasn’t half bad by comparison especially the TC version,rwd like the Cortina and with a reasonable amount of torque and arguably as good as if not better than the 1600 E in terms of go albeit at the risk of the bonkers torsion bar front end based on the old Minor tearing itself apart at almost 100 mph. 
Although why anyone would want either instead of spending a few more quid to buy and run a Triumph 2.5 is anyone’s guess.
As for the Allegro one step up from having to use the bus or a moped in terms of poverty. 
Kinchs used to run tippers out of Redlands Mountsorrel mostly ERFs n also buses Loughborough. Still running buses not sure about lorries though. Didn’t know they had any Mercs but pretty sure that s same company, looks like Atkins trailer just up the road from them. Cheers Coomsey
Hi dean,the White merc artic I have seen around there’s no name on it I think it’s an owner driver

The 1.8 twin carb engine in the Marina was the same proven engine as the MGB.

Blimey it’s either brain fade or I need to go to spec savers.While to be fair I associate the Trader with the one we all know not that version of it.
