Fergie i thought Mappo had bin sent to afganistan for target practice,dressed like that ime not surprized at all,cheers Buzzer.

Hi Tony,
Im getting a little fed up with all the nasty cracks from people who should know better. There are a lot of things about you that they dont know about.For example How about all the money
that you have given to Strongs of Romsey,Brickwoods,Bass and Bells.Also the thousands you have donated to sick
animals.Mind you it was a shame you didn`t know they were sick when you backed em! As for your dress sense,
Pass.I hope this helps your street cred.Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Charlie…when I read the first line of your post, I thought at last someone’s on my side.
However by line 2 I realised that your the same as the rest of ,em. I,m bitterly disappointed in ya
Charlie and I,m deeply hurt :cry: :cry: but I suppose I forgive you. :unamused: :smiley:
I,ve got a couple more pics to put on, but don’t think I,ll bother now. :unamused: :unamused:

Ps…yet another great model Jimmer.

Your right there Fergie,spose your quiet this time of year just like me,when your retired and dont have to worry you need a good laugh to help you through the day so come on Tone put them on and lets all have a gutbuster at your expense,you know it makes sense,cheers JD.

hi tony, can never understand why british leyland gave up making those trucks mate,ideal for middle east work, you could always get parts for them. :laughing:

I bet many of you have done trips with this very experienced man!!!

Just posted this on the Scrapbook thread

Well spotted Marc yes it does look like WHJ183S I bought that 111 from Scantruc at Purfleet it had belonged to Coopers of Manningtree from new I then traded it in against a 142 in 1982 at Morville Trucks Lutterworth.
