TRUCKIN IN THE 80's (International)

Sad to miss Derek.
Anyone know where Freddy Sparks is now, an Alberti Santi driver of many years and still at it I think?

Good old Fred eh? ( Carrot Fred :smiley: :smiley: ) If you do speak to him, please give him my very best regards.

Haha Archie, Freddy “The Carrots” Sparks!

A compatriot at A.S. Rawlings from where the carrots allegedly were “unaccounted for”!!! He worked for Barco for a while before going onto A&S. Seen in the last 12 months off down the A303 by traniht (Also ASR).

I used to recognise him in his F12 as he had a 14" TV mounted on the dash! Dunno what he has now.

Greek DAF

Austrian Saurer.

Hi Harry,

Just been talking to Clive White, Johnny Trim was the fellers name that drove for Friderici, and you where right he had a Foden, but I’m shore I saw him in one of them yanks in Swiss, maybe he was doing a bit of internal shunting on the odd day.

Ossie

Nice bloke. It’s possible he had a go in a KW but he wasn’t the sort to show off.

Hey a bit older but ('mid '70’s) When it was still nice driving the Antwerp ringroad.
Look at the British Thor Scanny has he place to make way for the joining traffic :laughing: :laughing:
Or will he pushing the MB car :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

cheers Eric,

He’s about to cream that Merc?

Looks like Crow Carrying Co to me, not Thor… :question:

Non-sleeper?

Cheers Eric,

A lot of Brit drivers were Insomniacs in those days…

Hey, that’s the way to go :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

1, no sleeper he will never stop to sleep so more miles :slight_smile: :smiley: :slight_smile: :smiley: .
2, no heating he will never fall asleep :laughing: :smiley: :slight_smile: .
