Great photos Mark.

John Your motor is looking great mate ,one day I see you and flash my spot lights :open_mouth:

Mark ,the bigger containers are good but you have to be careful loading them with books as you can over load them easily ,what they are good for is big sofas as you struggle to get them in those 250ft ones ! do you overseas wrap the sofas and store them loose ?

Robinsons have just been stopped in a 7.5 t and it weighted 9t !!! I pm the rest !

Hi John,
My mam is ok at the moment thanks for asking mate !
How did the the sofa’s go after through that window mate ?
You have just shook up great memories for me also here John with the pic of the interior of that TK cab…the times in the winter I slept across those seats…those cabs were so narrow you could not stretch your legs out fully…you would wake in the morning feeling like an S Hook…and the heaters were useless…goog old TK :smiley:

Steve I didn’t realise your Nephew as not been well
Hope he makes a full recovery mate.
Lovely pic Dean put up of the the Trenchards Eurovan integral …the trailer does look high off the ground mate…deffinitly didn’t have air suspension back then.

Transeuro went on to take over the Pickfords organization we know today which now operates out of there Wembley site.
But for some reason no longer use the Transeuro name…also had a depot in Aberdeen back in the day.
Nice article Dean thanks for posting.

Regards Mark
