Hi all. Finally got to see the extended highlights. Brilliant game and well earned grand slam. Number 2 in the world rankings, number 1 when we beat New Zealand in the world cup final.
Hoping to watch the whole game next weekend.
Busy in work as we start two new Atlanta/Orlando relays tomorrow, bringing the total to four. Hired two new drivers, thought great weekend off and another calls in sick! Off to work I go!
Regards Paul

Just thought I would improve the S. Wales thread a bit E. W. !
These are shots of the two Brady Octopus Power Plus motors. The B/W shot of the new one HEO557 was a few months older than the one in the colour shot of JEC192 which was the one I was mate on with my long gone life long Pal Eric Postlethwaite. This was the Octopus that was a regular visitor into The Abbey with Signode banding from Barrow Steel. Great times they were too, not a care in the world for a young Lad from Kendal !
Cheers Dennis :smiley:

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the picture.I reckon that’s Cwm Colliery at Beddau? Been closed many years now.Here is yet another Wynns photo,from their earlier days I think?

Hi all,
During 2013 we received a bare cab,then a bare chassis,followed by axles,air tanks etc etc.With the remaining components housed in a spread axle tilt parked at the late Kelvin Powell’s yard in Bridgend.We along with several others over the next six years,restored Rowland Ward’s VOLVO F89…
