I remember PJK very well. Spent a good year in the 90’s going back n forth with Chris Barton, after he rescued me from Craig Potter of the ‘Ice Warrior’ fame at the BP at Bordeaux. Great guy, would stop n help anyone. Does anyone know what happened to him - I guess he’s still on Isle of Wight.
Best memory was raiding fridge in Athens n having barbie courtesy of McDonalds - always tasted better that the Big Macs they serve ya.
Whilst I’m here, anyone remember John James Express out of Essex? Only driver I can remember was Steve Wenbourne. God they were cowboys, but always had a good crack at Tilly’s.
