just love the sound of the scammell gear change at 2.03
I wonder if that old Maggie was a retired Black Raven â â â â gas van?
Hello then,well last week it was holiday timeâŚRhodes was the better halfs idea for some sunshine,not what really my cup of tea as I aint one for lying on the beach,so a hire car is found and then after dropping her at the beach(with pals I hasten to add)its out and about to see whats aroundâŚas I suspected there aint much,heres a few from the 1st day
So the 1st shot,what a beauty and in real good conditionâŚgood start 
Round the next turning and this is parked up,this is in crap condition not like the F12,but she is an F16.
A bit further on and this one is posing on a piece of waste ground,looking between the body and the cab and a V8 is sat there,this 142 is an early one as its non intercooledâŚat a guess 1982/3âŚnice old girl
The back streets of Rhodes town found a fruit market,this old M.A.N was obviously out of use but was taxed in 2008,unusual rear set up at the back,the word âUnterfleurâ on the door suggests the power unit is underfloor.
Another F12,the trailer was incidentally a Merriworth.
Same firm as the last one but not in the same condition.
Dead chuffed to find this,an F89,the owner had had it for 20 years.
This was getting on a bit also,mid 90s at least.
A smartly turned out mixer,the driver didnt have a clue what I wanted,but waved his arms and shook his headâŚcrazy englishman I bet he thought.
Ok,thats a few,if you want to see some more F16s,143s,2800s then let me know.
Cheers Bubbs, 
hi marcus,
lets have some more please mate 
.
regards andrew.

Ok then,heres some more.
A tridem set up at the back of this Scanny,at the fruit market again.
Heading back to the resort,this was spotted,a tidy old 'unâŚa bit âMarleyishâ in my opinion.
A workworn topline,looked good with a spreadaxle tandem on its back,quite a few of these trailers were still about.
Couldnât pass this SK Merc without geting a pic.
Finally for this bunch is this 2800,not a drawbar though and was well tyred all roundâŚdear old thing.
Hope these are of interest,
Cheers Bubbs,
more more please
Hi then,heres some more.
An ex Gam Bakker F16 from Holland,still in his liveryâŚI expect the extra axle was shoved up its rear end in Greece.
Rhodes docks,this was heading for the âoutâ gate,then at the last minute veered right 
so a hurried shot through the fence was called for,thats why theres crap in the foreground 
Not too exciting a lorry but you just dont see them over here anymore.
Again not exciting but its unusual and its a Maggie.
Same place as the Magirus,an old quarryâŚthis was left to die and to be honest there wasnât much that was any good. 
Still more to come if anyones interested,
Cheers Bubbs,

Hello again,MalcâŚIâd love to give Malta a go but I believe that most of the real good stuff has gone,Mrs Bubbs is pretty fair mate,always patient when I stop to take photos and gives me her blessing when I go to Holland most yearsâŚ
Ok,Iâll make this the last postingâŚIâve got more but theyre a bit samey 
That old quarry again,some good stuff was in here
This is a bit rare,never saw a 95 8 wheeler in england.
Another old F12,this one heading for the ferry.
How about this baby! âŚexcellent condition for the year,Andrew(pete359) what do you think about this 'un?
This one was spotted in Rhodes docks waiting for the ferry ,earlier we saw it in the middle of nowhere and posed the question âwhere has he loaded thatâ as theres very little industry,anyway a few kms after we see tyre marks leaving dust tracks coming from between a hedge.A quick turn around takes us to a water bottling plant and the next pic is what we found
What a classic F16,ready to drive home to england,even the trailer had a Cravens Homalloy body on itâŚI saved the best til last.
Cheers Bubbs,
