i’d hazard a guess, the 2 drivers may have been in central london sorting their visas for the next job
travelled back from greece with them, good lads.
I was hoping one of them was Beechy but it wasn’t . I was gonna buy the coffee’s too
my first tour truck at TransAm, (came off a 144 530 chipped to 620)down to Karlsruhe, tipped, sat for 5 days while everything got tested for the tour, then told my load could fit in the other trucks if they spread it out. Me and another bloke came back empty, as both our motors were rentals as were the trailers. 2days after getting home, got a proper motor, and went down to Portugal with Metallica.
Portugal, mine on the left, 1st of 3 motors i had.
well heres some mad chap i spent some time with…and some of his strange habits.
pizza cone anyone?
cheese,crisps and tomato sauce anyone?
and some proper photos
Following on from the Light and Sound Transfer Merc seen at Carhaix last weekend, here’s another 3 seen in the
