I just caught it as it was leaving tibshelf services,so no idea larry

Not to worry, Its a cracking shot of Jackeys motor, its obvious the driver looks after it, I can find out who drives it as my Son works there, on local work only, but I visit Jackeys from time to time as they are friends of mine, as well as their fleet engineer David James who has worked there from leaving school, & was under the supervision in his younger days of Geodie Thomas. Now he was was a real fitter, he could do anything put in front of him , mind you so could owld Jimmy Adams (RIP) Who was Owl Geogedies Mentor, Happy days long gone, Regards Larry

Seen a few of there about recently on M74 M8 A1 & a few other roads in between

Larry, I also knew Tony’s dad Tommy, well known to lots of us as TBB (Tommy bumper bar) as he had a few mishaps with the front end of his motor. TBB was also the prefix of his number plate. Nice fella long gone. Regards Kev.

Aye Kev,I think the TBB Motor was a G reg ERF, ? Regards Larry.
