What is correct, Luxembourg? Got the pic out of a old magazine, just says where it was parked & nothing else, can’t place the old Luxembourg style plates so it could be right!

Here’s a nicely restored ‘spready’ tilt I spotted yesterday at the Gloucester Steam and Vintage Extravanganza. There were still plenty like this around in the '80s! Robert :slight_smile:

Here,s another ’ spread axle’ on the Cenis.

Nice pics but I don’t think this is the right topic for them

Steve you’ll ■■■■ your pants first time you drive without a hood poking out in front of you, you feel really vulnerable and the first time someone comes in 3ft off your bumpers makes you jump a bit I have to say.

ha ha ye u probably right there m8 I be a newbee for little while any incidents I let ya know :smiley:

Hi I realize the initial posting was a few years ago, but I have only just found it :smiley:

Aubrey Monger was actually the uncle of Johnny Monger, although the age difference wasn`t much. Dad remembers, Yap-Yap and said he did have the truck after he left Roba. Dad wanted me to mention that he was certainly NOT a Brummie, born and bred in Coventry and that is where he still lives. Johnny unfortunately died a few years ago.

Does anyone remember Ray Huxley??

My dad is still mad about trucks, but I guess if you’ve been driving them for 56 years you would be.

Dad finished off his career for a local firm but also drove with a guy in Canada, across all the provinces and way down into the States. A few disagreements with the Border Security, of which he has never been a fan, but at his young age of 77 they found him more amusing LOL:)

All of his daughters spent many times trucking with dad with the London - Swiss run and usually came back with something that ‘fell off the back of a lorry’.

We keep asking dad to write a book about his experiences while trucking and like many of you I am sure, it should be with a note to absolve you all for any future legal actions!!

Thanks for trucking guys, we would be screwed without you all.

Cheers!

I,m sure a lot of you will have cleared customs with these in Campo.

A couple of random pics.
The first one was somewhere in Swiss…can’t remember where I took the 2nd one.
