sorry about that yes it was reading freight,bob yes its all coming back to me now ha ha , what are you doing now steveI still work for Renault Trucks - we are owned by Renault themselves now - 29 years in total come July
Are you still driving Paul - something better than a TR305 no doubt - even though LLU 370V was one of the better ones Do you think that was down to the driver or the fitters that looked after it

Getting called out at 2.00 in the morning i ain’t messing about with laces
Steve
wear clogs easier ha ha ,you have put doubt in my mind about a rogue 305, but i know that picture was of the v regs , and that reg cl is a norfolk reg , they only had berkshire , kent or wiltshire regs, and in answer to your question about why llu370 was a good one , they changed the fuel pipes it stoped air getting in the system ,
i know who would have a lot of pictures , john smith he was always taking pictures , and he had some scottishness in him thats why the kilt
steve have you looked at scrapbook memories page 2, half way down , KEN SMITH (animal) tried to drive it but llu used to to wipe the floor with it

Looks like Park South, ime sure those cars are still there
Not a Wilts reg on the lorry though is it ?
I dont know mate, my dad was a subbie for Sheerness depot in the late 70s early 80s.The lorry looks nearly new in this photo.
nice pic mark, who is your dad ?and have you found that pic of the renault im curious, and its a reading reg but that didnt meen a thing , i think that one was at swindon
Glad you like the photo, My dad drove for Breakers Transport ( Sittingbourne )Ltd. They had a small fleet of lorries on general haulage, Atki Borderers and a few other odds & sods,most of the work was for JWQ Sheerness working out of Sheerness Steel, i think the transport manager was a bloke called Ted Reynolds. Another mate of mine Terry Wilson drove an AEC Mandator with a sleeper cab for JWQ then a Scammell Crusader. Did you ever go to Sheerness depot? it was in Rushenden Road Queenborough,( now a builders merchants ).
I do have a few more photos but cant seem to find them at the mo. One of the photos i have is the same one as the Renault one allready posted, the other is NLB 5 V and a really nice one of a new DAF 3300 A456 WRX pulling a Norbert Dentressangle tilt.
Rgds Mark.
i remember breakers , and sheerness was my second home , i remember ted , and the mandator you mentioned was SRE 57L known as the ice cream wagon, do you remember the time one of them dropped a coil in the high street and they sent the big forklift round to recover it , oh happy days
