Course Jim in my day it was not so easy to take a picture you had to set up all the camera gear on a tripod and you had to get some bystander to do the flash for you cos i was under a ■■■■■■■■■ hood concentrating on the angles then Kodak knackered all that and brought out the browny mark 1 and then it was anybodys game.

Oh yeah Buzzer I’ve seen you under the black hood in all them westerns :laughing: and now look at you on your magic box of trix :laughing: :laughing: if you’ve still got that box brownie I’ll give ya a tenner for it !!

Hi John here’s a pic of Tutty from many years ago taken at Winchester Bus Station with the late Tony Burgess roundabout 1981

I refuse to rise to the bait! I was 23 when my profile picture was taken!

Gazzer you simply just rose to the bait by retorting what you ought to be is pleased because everybody thinks you look younger than your years same its not like that for scattercash.

Hi Gazzer that makes you ? – !!//() blimey !! Must be all that sunshine sand and ssssssss sardines !!!

Regards Jim

Here’s one of my old scanny 110 which was a day cab when i bought it Unity conversions of Bolton put the sleeper cab on for me. This is at Superiors Offord Cluney depot near Huntingdon waiting to unload they would have 6 to 8 loads of outspan oranges every day out of southampton docks. They had a really good canteen so we all used to take advantage of that especially when yuo’d bin up since 4am to get there!

Here’s one reflecting on the pass-t if you get what i mean

This pic was one of Qwozzy picking up a brand new fridge from Gray and Adams at Doncaster early 90’s

Buzzer…brilliant pics of the Cenis, they bring back truly great memories.
It has been said many times before, but oh to turn back the clock and do it all again,as it was in those days.

Mappo your back you bin on holiday? halfterm perhaps your a bit of a nostalgick on the quiet the only thing about the good old days as you mentioned was probabley the cammeradery amongst drivers of that time in the past. Today everybodys in a hurry and aint got time but then things have moved on. Like me i expect you remember tryin to get to the top of cenis after clearing customs just to escape the mosseys eatin you to death it was cool up there and you could sleep half sensible. That was a bit Mary Hopkins if you know what i mean.
