Nice pic’s again Dave, the little FL6 skipper looks like she’s been blessed with a good load, sat well down on the back, always a problem with the skip job, folk just fill um up no idea of how heavy it is.

cheers

John.

Hi John,
Quite agree about the skips,everyone piles them high,not unusual to see a skip lorry with the front in the air,as its trying to lift a loaded skip.
Cheers Dave.

Thanks Marc,
Only pity about this thread is that the majority of pics are of modern vehicles. I have got some more older pics promised. Quite right about my photographer,my better half Tracy takes the pics,don’t always have the camera ready when we meet an older lorry,but fair play,she is very patient,not many women would take as many lorry pics as she has.
Cheers Dave.

Its all credit to Tracy, Keith,she takes the pics. I just tell her which one’s to take and which to leave. White plain moters tend to get left,sorry to the drivers whose vehicles they are,but I just think they look bland in the standard factory colour.
That will probably annoy some,as I know its down to cost. Some that have got goodies and a splash of different paint look ok.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Chris,
No dual carriageway,just two lane at the lights,the left hand lane on approach are for turning left,single again,once through. The photo is a bit deceiving Chris.
Cheers Dave.
