pete 359 hi and anything out there for me regards rowland
hi rowly,
no mate,we didnât see any f89âs at all.the chap with the f88âs had bought a hell of alot of parts for his though.using ebay and dealer contacts in the uk.as usual he needs a good cab.the three he had were too far gone in my opinion.i did laugh when he told us about the â â â â â â â powered one,you just gotta love the maltese hauliers 
regards andrew.
pete 359:

hi chris,
yes,itâs great to still see these old motors still working hard .this erf was owned by miksonâs transport,they made us very welcome.bloody frightening to see what some of them do though 
.this company regularly put 80 tonne on a 4 axle step frame and pull it with an old erf 
we went on the ferry to gozo on saturday and found some real oldies.
pete 359:
on bezzinaâs workshop office wall is this article about a welsh transcon.
Hello Andrew
Sounds like you and the boys are having a great time . I will be out in malta next month. My eldest boy took the photos and wrote the article which was published in december 2005. He will be suprised a copy is on the wall of bezzinaâs !
keep the photos coming.
Tony

It could have been worse as it could have been Harrys birthday present and he would want the receipt so he could get the money back
and it could be several days before he is sober enough to see it by which time this thread will be on the next page
cheers Johnnie
