Excellent.

1960 was a good year for me … I was born ! :smiley:

Brilliant, not a hi viz in sight!

It certainly seemed to be a lot easier driving back then.

Cracking vid… :slight_smile:

Great bit of nostalgia.Much better in Wally’s day.
Cheers Dave.

Ah Ha! The easy going days. Brilliant. Bet a lot of todays drivers wished it was like that now eh!

How about Wallys built in tyre pressure boots , he must be a very rich man if he thought and made them ?

Wally now works in Mcdonalds in Taunton. He wipes the gunk from the tables. He still has that uniform on. :sunglasses:

What a shame most of the transport cafes seem to have disappeared.

I like the inspectors hat.

Where those the legs that picked up when he hooked underneath it or were there another set somewhere? Looked very interesting :smiley:

It’s a Scammell automatic coupling, mechanical horses had them. Back under the trailer, job done! The brakes and lights would connect automatically too, thus making Wally’s boiler suit redundant- no suzies covering his sleeves/trousers in 5th wheel grease!
