Any of the old boys out there fancy a reunion in Hull where we all used to get together when the motors were on service. We might still be able to book into the fishermans mission. It would be good to get into Rayners again and mix it with the ■■■■■■ in the dairy coats. Come on guys if you fancy it get your views on this forum.

Manny normally organises a party around Christmas in the Sportsman top bar and a lot of drivers stay in Platform One / Farelli Restaurant. I came off North Sea Ferries a couple of years back on Christmas Eve. I was on it by dinner and stayed over in Hull for 4 days & nights. It was a proper reunion.

Thanks for that Wheel nut. I only live in Wakefield not far for me to go. Do you still see Manny?

Hi Mat Man
I’ve only one photo of a MAT scania, taken in Concorezzo Italy - I think in about 1971 my Dads Guy is next to it
Good thread
