Another VD Vlist Volvo.
We’re starting to get a real nautical theme going.
Should change the heading to ‘SHIPPING OUT’
Hi Chris trust you are well mate, pleased you have mastered this crap site that TNUK is today as not many have bothered, Buzzer

Hi John Fine thanks and yourself., I do wonder why I bother never had any trouble with the old site.
Around 20 years ago, i was helping Tony get some of his vintage fleet home from a local show. I took a Senior Constructor first, then the Rotinoff. Don’t think there would have been much between them in age, but a huge difference when it came to comfort and drivability. More noise, rattles and vibrations in the Scammell. The Rotinoff was more like a big car. Smooth power steering, synchro gearbox and quieter. How ever i did take it to Gayden on a hot day, and if it wasn’t for the sliding doors, i would probably have melted. Vesty’s drivers in 40+ must have had the obligatory bucket of water and towel in the cab.
All in all, Colin, you could probably walk off with a few prizes for driving a number of rare and unusual lorries over the years. Not to mention the ERF NGC. Did you ever get to drive John Symons’s Kenworth too?
