To be honest bear i didnt know it had closed either as i prefer to run the sumbilla route these days,just got told about the reopening today last time i was at victors it was dead with only 2 other brit trucks there but they were being driven by a latvian and a pole, perhaps someone could shed some light??
How about posting a picture for me as we used to go there when driving to Portugal. Liz

blimey there is a blast from the past. good old alex. âmr brintonsâ anybody know how he is last i heard he had retired to lincolnshire or that area. how many blokes with the handicap he had could do that job now â â
Heard a rumour that alex passed away a few years ago shortly after moving to lincolnshire ?
not good news at all if its true on the flip side what happened to his scania anybody any ideas. it was a old nail but kept going. if i remember did it have the esteppe cab ?
Hi guys, Liz here. Yes sadly Alex died end September 2004, he had a heart by-pass 2 years before and I nursed him through it. The scania was sold and as far as I know it is in Africa doing container work. Have tried to trace it but no luck. Do any of you guys go into Dollyâs at Burgos? I phoned her early last year when I thought I was going her way, but it did not happen.
On a happier note last year I married a wonderful guy, Terry who used to do Germany, and is now with Bentonâs.
P.S. Thanks for the photo.
hi liz. sad news indeed. i met patrick the other week remember him from the office in psl â â ?. and for the life of me i cant remember the other blokes name who was going out with the woman from the office chris something or another ?. well he had his own trucks running walters work to spain each week. i did a month for him and no more. what a zb.
Yes, you are right it was Chris, and if you speak to any of the people from psl give them my regards.
