Paul heres a pic from Bubblemans thread
Young thug type fitter - i think Terrys got me muddled up 
We had 2 other apprentices that were skinheads - used to nick paint from our sprayshop & paint their boots as āunion jacksā
Have you any more pics Terry 
Steve
oh steve , only joking mate (i did pay you for those shocks on marina ) memory not what it was nurse due soon pill time and i will call in next time in reading , and young teddy ( he hates that) has some more pics im sure
WELL HERE WE ARE AGAIN! Hi there everyone how are we?? STEVE I never said you were a thug! Donāt listen to that ghastly oddball!Incidently Steve did you ever do work on the DEBENHAMS dodge commandosā ā ? I worked for Debenhams warehouse on Worton Grange fron '81-'85 and i remember Reading Garage servicing them.
Well back to J.W.Q. now, Iāve gone back in time to 1975 when J.W.Q. were at the end of Rose Kiln Lane (remember when you drove over two baily bridges and Rose Kiln Lane was a cul-de-sac- J.W.Q. used to be at the very end).
THESE THREE pics are taken from a newspaper article from a local Reading paper from 1975 and Iāve tried to clean them up with photoshop as best i can, so forgive the quality but i feel the pics are more important historically not to include them. Well thats it for now, more later when i get the time, regards, Terry.
PIC 1 is of Johnny Herberts 1924, KAN 438 P (My Dads was 439)
PIC 2 is most of the Merc fleet (1418ās and 1924ās) out side the workshops.
PIC3 IS of the advert included with the newspaper article.
Hi Terry
Is Paul stirring things -
I did work on the Debenhams fleet at Reading and also Southall - there was an associated company at Camberley as well called Greens Cameras - same colour blue but no signwriting.When i started at Reading Garage its was purely Dodge then when Renault took over we had to do both - i remember JWQās work was done by a company called Harcourt Trucks before we had a go at it
Steve

Hello Paul, what are you doing in the wilds of Yorkshire? Donāt they speak funny up there? Yep, TAN 947S was the celebrated DAF 2800, best motor I ever drove. Probably use it for shaving these days. Just a couple of updates, Matt is driving car transporters out of Southampton, and do you remember Eddie Coles? He is a retired old boy living in Somerset. Wally Bradford is alive and kicking now aged 70!
