Bit of a bump up here but the old girl is still going, followed her off Jct 9 onto the A34 on Thursday evening. Was struggling a bit under a load of bricks but nice to see.
Walter Rickard drove this Ford until 1999
It was only taken off the road when he got rear-ended -
IIRC He has been in business for 63 years!
Saw a green Volvo 4 wheel flatbed today.W J Rickards above the cab.
The registration began A319, is this 1983?
Interestingly the driver was attired in a sports jacket and tie.
Hi
There is Volvo running around of that era with a smart old boy at the wheel with a flat cap often seen tipping in Winchester
My girl took a bad picture of it on her phone i will try 2 put it on some day
Bye
Hi,Went down to my vantage spot over the M4 near Bristol yesterday and this floated by about lunchtime
A reg is 1983 I think,so that means its celebrating its 28th birthday…who said"those foriegn lorries…they’ll never last!!"
