my oh my blast from the past there alex, seeing the old CDS motors “complete distribution services” and the old yellow peddle “shunter ex trekadle” park"d up the scania in the back ground was a L plate we got 4 new 6x2 143s and a “topliner 420 mine L898 NNW, a proper flying machine of the clock every day and i mean of the clock speed wise!!” rest of the 143"s were std cabs to was was tag axles, and got 2 topline streamlines 380"s, just for a bit of silly usless info
boy i spent many ,many a day, well everyday like a ““butchers hook”” when i worked for them for 4yrs, how is sandy anyway the daft old sod anyway,
one of the photos shows were we “cds” started in waddingtons old yard i think? then moved up to x green “armour barkpark ex yard”

Smashing photos there JD, thems the days when volvo used to make decent trucks the F12 Globetroters, they went backwards with the FHs,with less space in the bit that matters,
yeah volvo made a mistake when they put in that raked windscreen

so they moved into the yard facing q8 after that yard ■■?
