I was on for PJK for while in 97. One of the loads Paul gave me was a load of
telephone gear for Madrid. The delivery address was Telefonica Espana Madrid. I said that it was looking for British Telecom in London. Paul said I’ve
got faith in you you’l find it. And i did with help from 2 Buzby drivers who took
me to Freds and told the girl of my address she made some phone calls on 3rd call found the man who was expecting me, She gave me address and told me were to head for and the load was tipped the next morning,
I was on PJK around the same time but just about always did MacDonalds work.
Do you remember Mick Holmes, Spit the dog, the Brush or Titch?
If you remeber me, I was the black one in K40 PJK amoung others.
Had some great times on there. Got any pics to post?

Bit of a flying machine K40 . Did you think it pulled well and did you know it had been “done” in Holland Mick ?
I was told it was Dutch spec while chatting about its pace and pulling power at Victors 10mins after leaving Portsmouth
When I took K40 one Friday morning into Scania dealer, Alex van Keulen, Amersfoort, the Dutch technician said to me after its first run on the rollers in his beautiful English accent, “you have a very sick car, 387 bhp out of a 420 . the worst car I have seen” he added .
5 hours later I came out with a very healthy 490bhp .
“I think maybe thats too much for you” he says joking .
“No, no. I’m ok with that” I added and off I trotted like a dog with 2 danglies
Fantastic truck

Dear Old Spit done a bit for me on bulk tippers and walking floors then trained as a crane driver and was working for various crane companies.
The last time I saw him was in Les Slaters a couple of years back he had fell in love with a very nice looking lady and his plan was that they were going to buy a unit and fridge and were both going to drive.
But I havnt seen him recently allthough I did get a happy christmas text from him.
