I think the old man is on the lone ERF now? I think he was featured recently in truck and driver - they were looking for the oldest working UK trucker. I think hes about 76?
I might be wrong on all this as they are a bit out my way.

One of Englands finest and one from Germany , filling up at the old Truckers site, Whichurch A40 near Ross on Wye.
Connop & Son Ltd FH16 heavy haulage lowloader, from Eardisland near Leominster, headed north on the A49 towards Shrewsbury.
Was having a nice breakfast at the snackvan, just of the A5 at Nesscliffe Shropshire, a couple of weeks ago, when two of Richard Marston’s from Halfway House, pulled in, here’s one of them, a nice moter.
Another pic taken in Shropshire, this one on the A49 at Church Stretton, nice Renault heavy haulage outfit.
Daf artic kicking up some dust, at the old truckers site, at Whitchurch A40.
One of Stobarts powering by the rest, but not for long, just ahead of them the A40 to Monmouth is closed, due to a car fire, traffic backed up for two miles, thats the drawback with most dual carriageways, no overhead warning signs.
Got no old one’s until next week. Here’s an Irish Volvo seen on the A49, a couple of weeks ago.
Not on the border, or a tipper. Saw this Renault a few weeks ago, on the lorry park, back of Greasy Joe’s at Cirencester.

Cheers for that Steve, didn’t have much time to look at thr wagon, my other half took the pic, was down past your neck of the woods today, went to West Sussex and back, not with a lorry I hasten to add, saw plenty of nice moters, including some vintage at Gloucester, as we came back, but there was to much crap on my screen for her to get any pics.
Cheers Dave.
