euromat:
i always thought the pink panther was humphries truck, or am i getting confused with the scarlt pimpernell??

incidentally, where is the pink panther now, anyone know??

The pink panther is still parked in the same spot as in the photo euromat.
Its just off the wrexham ind est north wales and owned by john roberts who used to subbie for Williams Bros Wales which then became Williams TDG.
He ran 140 called the Green Sweed and the pink panther was bought for parts when he restored the green motor.

harry:
David James Chinnery Is a name from the past. I think we worked on the same firm once. …I was on Malta Cross when they started ,doing Cheshunt Marsielles with containers…And its obviously not Andy’s old pink rig , so apologies,etc. Still a technicolor yawn tho’ ! :laughing:

Harry dont mind me asking,did Malta cross become Eurocross with a driver called Bill Glasgow and Pat Shaw?.I remember seeing them in dunkirk they had six wheel tractor units one was an F88 an Pat had an F89 it was supposed to be the first 89 in england they were painted red.I think Tony who drove the SCA fiat road train worked for Maltacross b4 SCA?
