so he may be able to help.
I thought he looked too young to be Charlie!

Hi Jimmer, yeh not long now mate…better start saving my pennies…once I get
back to work, 5 bloody weeks off now.
Should have been back by now after the carpel tunnel thingy, but now I,ve got cellulitus
so that’s another week off.
Nice looking Volvo that Colin, good find that.
Very similar colours to Bill Robinsons back in the day, but it’s not his.

It certainly looks like a younger me I must admit. Although not as handsome. On a different note my lady wife and myself passed a very pleasant afternoon with GAZIOW and his child bride. Drove a few thousand Ks and visited a load of routiers. Good to see you Gary. Regards Charlie.

Well Mappo, here is a drawing of another Volvo, you might recognise the hand of the artist, or the truck itself,

Blimey Colin where did you dig that up from? I wonder if that was after Mark Compton owned it or before, as I saw Mark at Gaydon he said he bought it in Manchester, and after it went back and forth to Italy for a few years with him, went to TransOman Poole , and he said it ended up wrapped around a crash barrier some where abroad, not a good ending for a lovely old truck, still nice pic tho !
Regards Jimmer here’s one more in model form !

Well yes you knew me but for now I will remain as Cloud Nine, but you worked with Dave Marchi, he passed on in about 1983/4 I believe 
I saw your name pop up and I just had to touch base with you after all these years, see how you were, etc. Nice to see you are still kicking about.
tone, sorry to see you still not 100% one after another mate,? still waiting for repair job, then should be good for go.!!
cloud 9, welcome, as its been said all bit crackers but interesting just the same!
Cloud nine…wow thats a blast from the past…I,ve previously posted a couple of photos of
the Guy I drove when on for Wardell’s.
I,m assuming that you drove for them in Southampton ■■?
There Wern,t many of us, mmmmmmm you,ve got me thinking now.
Sad to hear of Dave passing away so long ago, he must have been so young.
Trunker08…hi Mick, will hopefully be back to work next week.
Good luck with your op mate…let me know how you get on.
Another good find there Colin, looks to be the late John Shaw driving.
Cloud nine…have replied to your e mail.
Hi all , yeah that Pats ( RIP) "Old Thumper " with Johnnie Shaw driving !!
Right no prizes but what was the little piazza by Italmondo’s in Milan called ■■
Thanks for that Colin, matches up with Mark Comptons comments other day !!
Regards Jimmer.
Dunno Jimmer…STS,s corner, ■■?
At the end of Viale Certosa wasn,t it…probably still is.
