Until Andrew gets his pics on here, check out the Trucks at Work series of books…the Volvo F88/89 one is brilliant ( as are all of them, to be honest… ) Published by Old Pond but available elsewhere too. I got mine over the weekend and had a job to put it down… :smiley:

Andrew,
good find. I don’t suppose you managed to sneak a bumper or anything back in your luggage? :slight_smile:

Hi Andrew its a pity you can’t come to the Shropshire truck show it would be nice to see your truck and you . But I understand we have two boys well not so boys now one is nearly 21 and the other nearly 18 . We used too have to go to the football awards and mathches etc . I wanted to go to the classic truck show at Gaydon but I have got a christening to go that week end . I am hoping to go to the Swansea truck show and the retro show at Gaydon . There is always the Hereford truck show have you been there? Is it a good one? Any way bet to go take care . Tony
