Leyland600:
I recall a a commercial vehicle salesman of well known Sandbach products doing a runner with the takings of the Kendal Steam Gathering about 1976 or so.
Did they ever catch him ■■?
Cheers Leyland 600

Never heard that one before L600 ! Cheers Dennis.

Aaawwww, Dennis ! We were all waiting for you to name & shame the barsteward.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Don’t implicate me in this “box of tricks” CWM,I only dealt with decent vehicle sales outlets,I wouldn’t know who it was,nor do I wish to! Sounds like it is an individual who liked dealing with small operators to me !! Cheers Dennis.

Hello

Does anyone know if Jim Carruthers at Aspatria has packed in as his Scania R has been up for sale lately with a truck dealer in Widnes

As far as I know, he’s only got the only wagon so does anyone know if he’s packed in or bought a new wagon

Anyone know the story here?

Kindest regards

Hello dew

Don’t think they are marra. Run quite a few DAF CF’s rigid tippers, based at Lillyhall

Seem to also do quite a lot of work for G M & A Lawson at Distington

The June edition of Heritage Commercial has a great article on ■■■■■■■■ vehicle restorer Bob Parker. Bob’s vehicles are not the concourse show motors often seen, they are hard worked, run of the mill, ex military lorries usually resurrected from near destruction. It’s a great story. Regards Kevmac47.

A couple of ■■■■■■■■ Fodens found while browsing.

I took this a week or so ago, it had bleached down with hailstones half an hour earlier, it melted as soon as it hit the floor.

" Happy Wanderer ", a 1954 Atkinson, owned by Colin Bateman from Aspatria .
" Leyland 600 " `s E.R.F. is parked alongside, at the Kirkby Stephen Rally , a few years ago.

Are those long wooden crates to be used to safely transport " ■■■■■■■■ Gill " s home-grown rhubarb to Wigton Market ? :unamused: :laughing: " Mr. Bewick " would say that " C. G. " feeds the rhubarb plenty of fertilizer` .

Cheers, cattle wagon man.
