Cheers Dave.

Hi, sorry to hear that you havnt been to well Harry,very glad that you are well on the way to recovery.
Heres one for all you high flying truckers,anybody guess where ive parked my fuel tanker ?, no clues yet, but I would be happier there in my other form of transport…( sorry its not a truck),

harry_gill · 15 March 2010 19:06

hiya,
Think i saw one of Pearsons joining the A1M when coming North from the Leeds area a little while back, very common surname Pearson in fact it’s my old ladies maiden name and there’s nobody more common than my old lady, and if she sees this i’m dead.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Dave, sorry you are very cold,although you might be able to see this this point from the Clee Hill on a fine day.
The Scania was not my usual stead,although I was offered it brand new, chose a Volvo FM instead,( didnt have a digi “nudge nudge/wink wink”)
Charlie Fisher is changing the complete ADR fleet to Scanias, so when I go back I wont have a choice.

harry_gill · 15 March 2010 19:22

hiya,
Do you fancy doing a swap your motor for mine, i’ve a T reg very tidy Corsa, don’t rush to the phone Andrew just think about it a very small cash adjustment is possible and mines just passed the Mot with nothing to fork out.
thanks harry long retired.
