Hooperman,Tesco’s?Naaahh
Well that is what I read in answer to an earlier post by myself, a few months ago, when I asked what he was doing now.
I since learnt that he just got back from Dammam.
GS
Hell thats a lng way in a tesco truck at 40mph 
Hooperman ? is that as in Chris Hooper M/E fame ?
Enjoyed reading his story in Truckin International magazine a few years back 
I last heard Chris was on his way back from Kuwait for Astran only a couple months ago.

Here you go, a picture of Chris’s truck in Jordan last summer.
I’m sure he won’t mind me posting it, he aint even seen it himself yet.
He was on his way to Doha when you saw him last week near Venlo. There’s a load of em on the way down.

A few of us drove the ROO motors in their day for Roy Bradford/Fred Topham
Roy Haxel, bought one…Dirty ■■■■ (bless him) i had ROO 108w after it had twin stacks put on…,and we burnt one in Romania after dirty ■■■■ drove under the ring road bridge at 40 mph when it had 3/4 feet of water under it…blew the turbo, flooded the rest…■■■■ got rescued, and stayed at Roys flat in bucharest with Julie until we got the money to fly him home.
Hi Phil, How times fly, it does’nt seem that time since you started off on a tourist trip with your dad and ended up driving the truck yourself to istanbul.
How things turn out, if you had got in the next taxi at Ostend station. If Ritchie Thorne didnt have enough room in his Mack cab. If the Begian immigration were not scanning passports. Who knows you might never have become a M/E trucker and still be pulling pints in a Belgian bar. There has been a lot of water flown under the bridge since then. Wishing you,your wife and family a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year. regards Jamie.

There must be a mega thread in that lot alone Jamie.
Having been in the bars with young Phil and old Phil at different times, it is bound to be complicated 
I tended to bump into old Phil more in the seamans mission in Zeebrugge
