Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

BigG-Unit:
Hi Pat, Happy new year to you. Looks like you could have taken that pic. this morning about 5 o’clock! :laughing: Only it looks like the big flash of light going up over the docks they kept on about on the Radio! Pretty obvious what it was going to be I thought! :unamused: :laughing:

Thanks BigG-Unit

Yes was quite a storm also took down the front of my mates shop in Shirley.

Regards Pat

Hi Tribsa there’s a few more to add to the fleet… Coming soon :laughing: :smiley: Cheers Rich. Regards Jimski

Yes Jim but those old Volvos used to get too hot!!

Hi Pat yeah I can’t argue with that but do you remember on that old F12 take out the thermostat break out the guts and stick back the shell and rubber gasket and they run real cool !! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Regards Jimski

Hi Jim
Its easy if you have an old F12 put a later rad in it with a bigger core simples

Hi all thought I’d put this pic on that I was given by my brother of Mark Comptons old F89 I drove for him, he’s messed around on a computer with it

Looks good eh !!

Hi Jim

I seem to remember that F89 was once owned by Ian Elkins, I also remember going over Cenis with TV’s when Mark Compton had just bought it, Sean Moran was driving it, there were three of us Mick Olio was driving another of Mark’s Volvos I think I had an old LHD Scania 111 R reg

Hi Pat does Ian Elkins ever go on this thread?? I have asked on here before and someone did say they had some more photos of this truck but I can’t remember who it was if memory serves me I think they said it ended up a lamp post or something like that, shame was a good old truck… I feel a model coming on Pat :unamused: :wink:

Regards Jimski

Hi Jim
I will ask Ian when I see him next.

Hi Jim

I think you may have beeen thinking about this F89 GHO 1N that John Lee ran as MacPherson Haulage, I think it ended up wrapped around a lamp post or definitely in an accident whilst solo in Portugal I will see if I have anymore pics of it!

Hi Tribsa tried to PM you but wouldn’t go so sent you email.

Hi Pat I’m sure it was it was CLU the other guy was talking about cos it was when I put the pics of it on here ■■?
I didn’t know John Lee had an 89 do you still see him Pat? What’s he up to now ■■

Hi Jim found a few more of John Lee’s pics it was not GHO that had an accident I had forgotten that John had 2 Volvos

And a transit

I have not seen John for quite a while so don’t really know what he is doing now.

Was John the male model for the 118-118 adverts?

Look Reema houses in the background…

hi I think John Lee is a plant manager somewhere Mick Leech will know

Another couple of John’s pics
