Wynns, ENY 290Vhi dai,
cool wynns crusader shot,looks like the albany road yard.oddly enough a load of us and our trucks are going there for most of the day a week tomorrow (20/12/14).a good christmas day out for a truck mad 13 year old autistic boy from cwm called kian badcock,he has sadly lost the sight in his left eye this year and with his other medical issues he hasn’t had the best of time recently.via Facebook a call was put out to gauge interest in a day out for him amongst the road transport community of south wales and the response has been absolutely phenomenal.around 50 plus trucks are expected and a lot of guys and their companies have put a lot of effort into creating this christmas treat.i’ll get a few pictures for us all.very well done to all those involved. your help and continual offers of support have been magnificent.
regards andrew.
Hiya,
How is the “Pete” being moved to Scotland Andrew, under it’s own steam or via transporter any
ideas as to the route it will take and what day is designated for movement, nice to think it may
do some of it’s journey up the A1M my part of the world I’d like a glimpse of her going past.
thanks harry, long retired.
