That is one great shot Andrew !talk about a pair of Thoroughbreds !! Anyway have you had that big Merc coupled up to a loaded trailer yet to blow the cobwebs out of it? Cheers Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks,Ross garages were dealers as well as hauliers,as you may be aware? Thanks also for the comments about the Mercedes,I love that truck more than all of the others I have owned put together! She has pulled a few trailers for customers etc,though she very convincingly pulled this tanker,fully freighted with 30,000 litres of water,effortlessly!
Regards andrew.

Hiya,
Andrew, the tank trailer with only 30,000 litres onboard would have been only
two thirds loaded just hope it was a baffled job otherwise doing an emergency
stop would have been fun, not.
thanks harry, long retired.

Yes it was busy when it was open but I also remember it being shut for quite a while before it reopened as the willows B&B…
