Jock
Was Kevin Nicholls - “reving Kevin” - Love Sponge and I have spoken about him before.
My mate Ian Wright was on Micky W driving a F10 when I came across you - he did steel out of Thirsk and other stuff - originally he drove for Les Arnold doing tractors and lived in Knaresborough.

The Biker, I honestly can’t remember Kevin Nicholls, or if he was ‘revving Kevin’. Have you got a picture of him, it might jog my memory.

Hi Alan, sorry it’s taken so long to post a reply. My Dad’s as ever out the country, but as soon as he’s back in town I’ll show him this and get him to reply.
Calum.

My old man is currently out of the country and this is his son posting!! Sorry it’s taken so long to reply.
My Dad used to run to Spain with Les Harrison for Albert Hymas. BUT, he went to Somers Transport doing Spain and ran with Graham Wilson on the Economy Shipping contract. When he’s back in this country I’ll show him this!!
There’s a Somers thread here… viewtopic.php?f=35&t=28963&p=318407#p318407
