Soapdaft on the scrapheap

yeah i remember when it went to o’neils. did’nt know they still had the motor running!

working for agency at the moment running a trunk from carlisle to coalville for pallex.

not the greatest job… but money is money!

chris_scott:
all he runs now is 6 wheeler for straw… soapdaft got rolled on the a6 just outside stockport heading back to the yard in tideswell. think its was the bad left turn on there not far from disley.

he was running 2 white xf’s and then lost work and then paid me and other driver off.

most of all the stuff came off the wagon before it went

What was the name of the other driver?.
I used to work with a bloke that i last saw working on there,always kept his motor spotless.

Hi scott.The driver that i knew,the name came back to me.
Was Tom duffey ring a bell?

Someone must have more photos of this fleet in its prime, be nice to see them, a kind of tribute?

Comedy classic the red XF was at Haydock truckfest a few years ago, was owned bt a guy named Wayne Catt from Preston way, don’t know if he still has it as i’ve only seen a couple of T cab Scanias with his name on recently.

Legends of Rock

Comedy Classics was on Ebay not so long ago
