Larkins V8 Scania coming down round to the Gore weighbridge. When this lorry left the Quarry loaded, it sounded brilliant, nothing beats the sound of a V8.
Hi Dave,
Enjoying the pics as usual.
Wilks ERF P152 EFL is an ex- PJ Thory from Whittlesey near Peterborough motor.
Thory are a long established tipper operator and used to run many ERFs.
They have moved over to DAFs with a and a couple of Hinos these days.
Nice to see the Cargo six wheeler still on the go.
Cheers
Mark

Loving this pic mate. 
If you can’t find any of a tipper unloading into a barber green, then this is the next best thing !

Hi Mark,
Haven’t seen this moter up this way before, unless someone has just bought it. As I said there are a lot of chippings going out at the moment, lorries from all over backloading, probably glad of the work, some of the drivers will know who runs it now.
Cheers Dave.
