I remember seeing that low cab Foden and thinking that it may be the future, extra load space and all, and that I didn’t like it. I knew I would miss being able to see all around me from my high cab. :unamused:

Hi bubbleman, blimey, great selection again, top man!

I remember McHayes, didn’t they come from Norfolk way? I met one of their drivers called Terry (I think) in Italy once, I then heard a rumour that he lost control coming down the Blanc at the “wall of death”, I never found out the result. Are they still going? They had some decent kit, a Magnum too if I recall.
