you have reminded me I haven’t stuck the pictures on I promised, so here they are, lets see if we can kick start this thread again.
A friend of mine who was an apprentice mechanic with Service Garage took a trip to Italy with a certain Loose Change, and here are some of his pics he has lent me.
He did mention names of people who they met on the trip too, I’m sure he said Johnny Cameron was there?

Now here’s a snap to stir up a few memories, I bumped into an MSI driver in Vercelli customs, clearing my first Italian export load, what a result I thought, someone to show me the way home! Oh no, just my luck, he was on his first trip too & thinking the same as me 
Well we followed the big blue line to Calais & apart from going the wrong way around Paris we did ok, I bumped into him (Graham) many times over the years & always ended up slightly pickled 
After that first trip I bumped into many of the drivers posting on here & from them I learned how to the job the right way, mind you most of them got me drunk too, the swines
The Unitruk F16, if it’s F160 ■■■ also features in the movie in my mind, I bought that off Scantrucks in 94, it was a right flying machine, it suited the Italian Job too coz it also drank like a fish, Roy Oils made more than me out of that motor, I ended up selling it for 5 grand more than I paid for it & bought a 190-48 Turbostar from McKellar that was a lot better on diesel (shows how bad that Volvo was)
Happy days, if I could turn back the clock…
Glad to see the thread back again, found some old pics to post, just got to work out this scanning lark
