I remember Tony when he was on for Sea Route Ferry didn’t he put a truck over a bridge Glasgow way very lucky not to have been killed? I think he broke his leg or hip. It was a Seddon Atkinson I seem to remember!

Regards Pat

Correct Pat, he had a front wheel blow out on an overpass in the centre of Glasgow, The truck ( S.A.) went over the safety barrier and ended upside down, flat as a pancake some 50’ below. Tony will no doubt have the newspaper cuttings from what was certainly a miracle escape.

Nope, got the wrong one, I’m the good looking bloke, Streeter was Ugly, like you !!!

Fergie47 Cheeky git - did you get PM ? Have you seen or heard of Jim ?

Hi Tony how are you mate?

I think that I had to collect some of your gear or was it you from Glasgow on that occasion (Grey matter failing me)

Jim Street I saw him last year when he came to my house to view an RV that I was selling he was still doing a bit of driving for Ron Griffith’s son.

Regards Pat

AINACS Hi Pat,i,m alright mate ta.
It was my gear you collected from glasgow wreckage,i dont s.pose i ever thanked you , well thanks now mate. Sea Route flew me home Pat after a week in hospital and was then off for a couple of months.
Been looking at some of your old posts mate.Some great nostalgic Pics you,ve put on.
Say hello for me when you see Pat Scorey , Johnny Lee and anyone else who remembers me.
I,ve found Jims phone no. and just had chat with him and yes he,s still doing odd trips for Stuart Griffiths. he did a french groupage just last week - 1drop and 11 pick ups. He loved every minute of it.
Regards Tony
