Hi Tony,
Great pics,some blokes don’t like changing lorries. Ive got a mate who several times refused to have a new lorry,he used to say,nothing wrong with the Ive got,if they sold his lorry,he would drive the one that had the new one’s,old lorry.
Does a chap called Phillips still sub to you,can’t remember his first name, I acted as TM for him for a couple of months until he got his cpc about 10 years ago.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave,
Phillips dosn’t ring a bell.This bloke usually does a regular contract run over to norwich,out of another depot,but there was nothing doing today so he go sent to us.
I just saw the hereford on the door and thought of this thread,Nice chap to talk to.It’s plated down to 31tonnes,the road tax was £165 for the year,So if it’s quiet he can afford to park her up for a while.

Just remembered Tony. Peter Phillips trades as TT Transport,probably doesn’t come in there,he was subbing to Taylors,think he drove for them before setting up on his own,he’s ex army.
Cheers Dave.

Here it is John,it would make a nice shot for Mr Spillett to do one of his paintings,will be seeing him next week,will show him the pic.
Cheers Dave.
PS Peter knew we were taking his pic,all the quarry boys know if Tracy is with me,they could have their pic taken. :laughing:

Thanks a lot for that Dave, and as you said it would make a great painting. It’s a great shot Tracy will be looking for some wages for her good work soon. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Don’t tell her that John :laughing: we were lucky we could see the lorry coming quite a way off,as we came over the top of Radnor Forest,and could still see it approaching,so she caught it just right,fair play she does well,its not easy getting a pic when both vehicles are on the move.
Cheers Dave.
