420 in a 6 wheeler that must be some tool,am i right in thinking the one you had before that was in Armstrongs colours. I was always fond of the scania i had at Tulips, we used to tip at Armstrongs when i worked there, we also did alot of runs over to the west with brewers grains and fly ash for the wind farm on the cliff tops at Parton Whitehaven

Sid, looking back at the Tulip pics there is a shot of skip motor painted in topmix colours. I worked at tarmac as an O/D at that time and I think it was driven by a lad called Derek am I rightâ â ? I do remember it was alway spotless. I think âAdolph Tarmacâ told Tulip to repaint the vehicle as it wasnât a contract motor. Regards Kevin.
Hello kev
Yes your correct, Derek Wright, drove the skip wagons that Tulips had on the topmix job out of Sprinwell, Derek came to R&R Hands to drive the block wagon after that then on to Armstrongs when they got shot of the contract hauliers.
