Thanks Dean you keep finding new ones ,I’m nearly out have to search for some more. The leyland’s came just before I left Peter liked them I don’t think they were a patch on the Volvo , Daf, or Scania we had previously.

Did a load to Gib myself double manned and we had a door in the fridge as well, made of plywood with frozen up front and cheese in the back but it was ok when we got there, good old days especially going over the airport runway on a set of traffic lights never forget that, Buzzer.

Thanks to Mappo, Buzzer, Denis, and Dean don’t know where you keep finding them mate. Here’s something different we called to see friends in Rioja on the way down, what great timing this is the first load of the new harvest,can’t wait 2 years to try it.

You posted this a while back Cliff.

How many of us had our lorries washed here.

You could always get help here while eating and drinking in Victors.

Great pictures again Dean looks like Mr Guest at the wheel, that was one pig of a trailer to keep clean who remembers the old ribbed side freauhauf’s.
