i said they were “random” pics. How about these two…anyone know anything about CREEDSPEED?
this Maggie looks SO SO heavy
Creedspeed was owned by Gerald Creed. He was brought out many years ago, by radclive transport of Faringdon.
One of the drivers that drove one of his Magirus Deutz was Dave Macmillan (AKA The Precher).

Some of us didn’t even bother with drive or bogey axle mudguards,they took up valuable space!! Where long range deisel tanks could be built bigger and closer to the drive axle tyres.

Well there’s a turn up for the book’s, i spoke to him a few weeks back and he had just come back from Hungary for PTM, he was going to take a Month off work, then decide what to do.
Fair play to Him, Smashing bloke is Colin. If you see of speak to him, tell him Ben passes on his regards.

I have just registered on this site and what a brilliant site it is, so many memories of names and places, I remember parking around the square in prato on many an occasion back in the seventies when after a good meal in victors with copious amounts of vino somebody would throw a baked bean can of diesel across the cobbles just to see the quinquecentos spin off into the bushes while surveying the slappers stood around. happy days.
hiya chas glad to see u on here hope you enjoy it regards kevin jennings

WHEEL NUT Thought u’d still be here, waiting for your DOW piccysfound these for you .
truckerash, once again you have scored a bulls eye. Dow Freight Scania ANC 133T was driven I think by Tony Gibbons a.k.a. Big T,(ex Law Arabian,Roy Bradford.) Although I dont think that is his missus in the cab,I dont remember who drove it before him, it might of been Bill Bentley. The Transcontinetal is being driven by Brian Tonge ( or was it Brian Cobb ) a.k.a. Petal, ex Chet Trux Driver. Ash I think its about time that they made a blue oval plaque with your name on it and hung it on the stairs at Dover Customs, or at Carisio,if there still there. Thanks for all the amazing photos, Regards Steve.
The scania ANC 133T in this photograph was at swindon depot as you can see if you look closey on the door. The driver at the time was Micky Dunstan (AKA Metal Micky) .
The passenger was Sheila Dunston.Micky Dunston worked for radclives transport Faringdon along with Rodger maull spelt with a double LL as did most of the original Swindon drivers. Big T died a few years ago, i did many trips with him.
One in particular to Turkey with Derek Robbo and myself Sean Morbey he will be sadly missed, as will the other drivers from dows who have sadly passed away.
its good to see this thread resurected but where is truckerash
