Hi Dave,
Kiddy ain’t that far from you! How about this for craftmanship? Cracking looking motor I think, Cheer’s Pete

Hi Dave and Pete , now that is a gem of a pic ! I can remember that Leyland Octopus , but for the life of me i can not remember where that abbatoir was ? can either of you gents can ? regards Keith .

Sorry Pete I missed your pic of the Leyland Octopus, just went back and looked,nice set up. I was hauling to Kiddy when that lorry would have been put on the road. I can remember an abattoir there, but can,t recall where. We hauled thousands of tons of stone from Dolyhir quarry to Wrekin Construction who built the ring road.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Dave, seeing that bleedin’ awful pink in the rear view mirrors all days would I’m
afraid give me sore eyes so as well as the disguise before driving it dark specs I
think would be the order of the day. Do like the motors though.
thanks harry, long retired.


Colour of this one of KTH, could be more to Harry’s liking. Same location as the last two of Robinson’s. Convoy system is good for taking pics.

Hey “H” if you got “clocked” alighting from one of them Pink motors it would be a case of " Ooo Er now he looks like a nice boy" especially if you then “minced off” into the Café for your croissants and coffee ! Cheers Dennis. :blush: :sunglasses: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hiya,
Alighting, I like that Dennis, it’d be more like tumble out and hope for the best and
the getting onboard I would I’m afraid need forklift assistance or a gentle ramp to
meander at my own speed and the instruction get there when, not yesterday.
thanks harry. long retired.
