That’s a crackin photo of the 141 trio
Any guesses where this is anyone? Me following behind with a similar motor to fill up at a certain garage. The Autoroute is above yer head.
Health and safety? what health and safety? Unloading steel in Udine, cracking drop, 30 mins to tip and done. Sliding roof on a tautliner, what luxury, took 2 hours with a bloody tilt!
Here’s a guy I used to see a lot on Itailian work, Lester. Hope he won’t mind me putting this up. Just loaded in Treviso, Delonghi radiators ( I’ve bunged this on another thread too)

Hi boyzee, next time you see your Nick the Greek can you ask him if he was the same Nick the Greek who drove for Pan Express from Colnbrook between 1980/85 and what colour Pan’s trucks were.

Eastern Europe? I followed a road exactly like that for 20 kms in the Landes south of Bordeaux. At the end was one bloke with an off road fork truck, a pallet truck and a stack of pallets of rolled garden turf. He was just a tad surprised to see a fridge arrive. Oh what fun we had forcing each of those oversized pallets down the trailer.
Not the most unlikely load I put in that frigo. Others included charcoal and paraffin.
Salut, David.
Urban myth has it that F Troop ( Rumanian National Transport ) used to run fridges through West Germany on a Sunday with the fridge running while they were loaded with tyre’s. 
Did any body else try to get around the Sunday driving ban. 
Even more pictures Ron, you must have a fair collection. Any idea what happened to SEV? where did you last see it?
Well done dieseldave! Yep, off to the Shell garage at Moulin le Charix, spent many nights in there, I think still one of my favourite watering holes in France. Did you ever use it? I also remember further on the national towards Bellegard the wooden place. Was it the Monkeyhouse? It burnt down. Had a few snowy nights in there too! I think I’ve a pic of it, but the quality is so bad it’s hard to make it out.

Not me, but it was often rumoured that the Spanish and Portos did it up the west coast here. My odd loads were merely a trick to cut down empty running during slack periods or between tip and reload points. I hated them though. The charcoal, like the turf was palleted to side load on tilts or flats and required real muscle to shove it down the van. The paraffin was no trouble to load but some of the 5 litre bottles burst and when I opened the doors the stink was awful. Back to the yard for a really thorough steam clean. 
Oh, and by the way, I’m really upset with Dieseldave. I never look at ‘where was I’ posts because I either never recognise or can’t remember.
But I did recognise Nantua - and he beat me to it.
I know this is pushing the 80’s theme, but anyone recall ADM from Eastbourne? They used to run 2800 and 3300 Daf ati’s on international fridgework in the '80s, then this lone scania driven by my mate Malcomb. Two Sussex hauliers now no longer. Radcliffes finished about '97, I was his last employed driver, ADM ceased trading recently, I live near their old yard. Quiet at night now, but a great shame.
Weekended somewhere near Rennes, I was waiting for another load back to Italy.
My mate Malcomb and his Scania.

Pan Express from Colnbrook…
When i was on PTM we had 3 Ex Pan Express drivers on there, and all we ever heard was “Pan Express this, and Pan Express that…” and how great it was blah blah blah…
Think their names were Mick Hardy, Paul Clues, and Danny ■■?(very small bloke, must be about 75 now, Lived Aldershot way)
I found this and was,nt sure where to put it.
This seemed a good a thread as any. Hope you lads dont mind.
