Hello Pat
Hamble Lane the turning after Ye Olde White Hart Pub probably going to the marina at the end of that road.I bet he was glad he had the rear steer on the low loader because that is a tight turn.
Regards Jacko
Yes well done it is Hamble

Hi All,
We slipped to page 2 
Talking of Micky Leech, this nice gendarme was asking after his health 
Anybody know where this is ?
Regards
Richard
More like asking after his WEALTH Richard…but then the Gendarme should have known better being parked by one of yours coupled to a Springroad trailer…but then he may have a had a bit of luck the previous week when GAZIOW was in the same location. He was too eager to pay up with your money!
I was looking on the Transcontinental thread and it reminded me that Skilbeech had a Transcon didn’t they?

Hi all spoke to Mappo today told me to get Charlie to fire up the Morris Minor stock it up with grub and shovels as he might need rescuing from across the Scottish boarder as he’s been sent to Dundee, but he didn’t sound as excited as he used to about it Something to do with the high winds and snow !!! So stand by Charlie !!! You might get a call

He’ll be ok as long as we keep him off the bridges in Glasgow and he hasn’t got a Sea Route trailer on

Right! I,m on me way.I have loaded the old Moggie up with meat pies and Mars bars.Not for Mappo!
They are for me.Also I have a flask of tea and a spade.If I get stuck in the snow I can sit in the car and drink the
tea and the spade can get out and push (No offence intended!) Have a safe trip Tone.Thanks for the info Jim.
Regards Charlie
Charlie…you can come home now mate, i ,ve made it back to blighty.
Was that you chuffing away up Shap. I thought i saw what looked like a Morris Minor sleeper but
could,nt be sure though as it was enveloped in a cloud of steam and smoke.
I was gonna stop but it was snowing and i did,nt wanna get wet. 
Hope you took a blanket or two. If you start thumbing now you should get home by Christmas. Enjoy ya pies. 
Hi all, i,ve been given on loan some photos from Graham Wainright of his time on for
Astrans or rather Asian Trans as it was known at the time. Some of the photos appear in
Truckerash,s excellent book on Astrans but most of them hav,nt.
Now when i,ve had time to scan them do i put them on this thread ( Graham being a Soton man ) or Astrans ■■?
Hi Tony.I,m pleased you made it back ok.I tried calling you on the cb
but I,ve only got the old am.Thought it was you by the flags and teddy
bears in the window.I made it as far as Falkirk but ran out of paraffin.
The wife is coming up on the train with a 25 litre drum.Should be enough.
Stay lucky mate.Regards Charlie
Hi all hi Tone!! Don’t worry about Charlie them old Morris Minors are brilliant in the snow, and it’s a sleeper conversion!!
I can see him now with the bangers, beans, and taties, all in one pot !! 
Any how Tony I reckon you could put them pics of Mr Wainrights on here ! Loved to see em!!
