roping and sheeting

Retired Old ■■■■:
After spending 20 years waiting for the cheque for the last job? You must be **** joking
P.S. It’s your turn for the breakfasts when us oldies are allowed to gather!

I hope that Dan and myself are not included in that age group?? :open_mouth: I’m a youngster compared to some on here, and Dan is still almost young enough to be my lad. :wink: Anyway, getting back on topic, how about some pics of your own R&S efforts Rof or was the camera out of film? :laughing:

Hi Larry, If I am offered a drink, I usually ask for a large single malt. If I am then asked
"Do you want anything in it ? " I reply, " Yes, Another one ". :smiley: Cheers, Ray.

You think that’s bad Larry? In France they put Coca-Cola in it. :open_mouth:

Can’t remember the last time I could afford one, and had to do a round trip of 30 kms for that. :unamused: :frowning:

Hiya,
Only once did I drive a Foden one of F F Robinson’s half cabs my journey
was off the loading bay down the yard and park up so’s I could get onto
the loading bay, a bit like sitting in a telephone kiosk what a heap, I got
talking to the driver about the statement Mr Robinson on how happy he
was with his new motors and his drivers loved them, I did mention this
to the London shunter totally different tale than Mr R had proffered in
his interview. “Drivers love them” drivers bleedin’ hate them two of
them chucked it last week and the night man on this is on the hunt for
another job and his final words echoed my thoughts like driving a
f"""ing telephone box, Not really a fair test on my part but not for me.

Well I know not all drivers liked the Fodens But I certainley did, I made a very good living when I had them, Mine were trouble free apart from the odd oil seal or an air leak, Regards Larry.

I’m rather ashamed of this, in nearly 40 years of roping and sheeting this is the one and only time i roped on top of a flysheet.

The best looking model of ERF makes up for it . :sunglasses:

Looks fine to me, but then in over 50 years of driving I have never been given a flysheet. :open_mouth: :laughing:

And I too like the ERF and the ‘proper looking’ set up of 2 axles under each end of the trailer, albeit spread at the back. :wink: :slight_smile:

More to be revealed soon ,it’s a roro curtainside with inbuilt beaver tail that can be loaded using the crane or a shed gantry through the back doors with easy sheet on the roof ,I’ve reinvented the wheel :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

It’s actually a bulk tipper but with no sides fitted Dennis, it results in a very low tare weight. You get yourself some shares in the project as it’s sure to catch on and those 8 LXB’s stored away won’t keep your pension topped up forever. :wink:
