Hi all, good to see everyone last Sunday. As has already been said thanks to Tim.
I must admit that i thought for a while i was in the bar on the " Dragon " 25/30 years ago. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Great re union, let,s hope there,s a few more before we start " popping our clogs "
Perhaps next year we can chip in to pay Jimski to dust his passport off and collect Fergie from his French hideaway. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Pat…always good to see Hills old photos.
I was offered a job with them in the 70,s but declined cos other companies were paying
£1-00 an hour while Hills were still at the time on £32-00 basic for 40 hrs.

As for location of last photo, i agree with Gazzap.

Hi Tony yes it was great to see everyone especially you mate!!!

No it’s not Bakers Wharf but according to Chris Hill it was taken outside Bakers Yard at or near the Six Dials in Southampton which went to make way for the new road south to the docks!

Anyway here’s another couple of pics he gave me to put on here!

Anyone know where these were taken? Two loads being carried by Stag vehicles from France?

A33 just after the A34 split. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Hello Richard, and Tony. Well, I could smell all the diesel fumes sat in my garden the other Sunday, You guys must have done some miles ■■ Nice thought though, you lot turning up here…I’ll get some beers in… :wink: :wink:

On the other hand, the thought of you lot coming over, in Pat and Jim Streets motor-homes, and Jimski’s Taxi, doesn’t bear thinking about.
We could accommodate the tame one’s, but the not-so-tame and the ■■■■-heads, will have to settle for the garage…Ummmmmmmm… that’ll be most then !!! On the other hand, it might be safer to clear off to the South of France, and leave you lot to it…Could you do me a good deal Jimski, in that old Merc of yours…?

Jimski

Fantastic model Jim, what patients, I’ve been 3 years doing a GMC 6x6 deuce, just got the chassis finished… :unamused: :unamused:

Hi all hi Fergie47 bin the instructions ! A Do at yours ay well that seems to be a nice thought! Could take some planning!
But someone did say next year we should have it in La Ferry Boat, Le Harve, could you make that far Dave on that bike of yours?

Regards Jimski

Dave
I have seen how much ground you have there,you could accommodate them all if they were camping. :slight_smile:

Hi Nigel. Haven’t heard from you for ages, how are you ? still got a place over here ? Don’t know about them all camping, I could look for some old sleeper cabs and park 'em up in the field… with a bar !! they’d be use to that.
