great photos I remember when he had 1 six wheeler a long time ago does anyone know if Ray Edge is still about the last time I saw him 11 years ago he was at Jakeys cheers Larry
hiya larry iwas at arthurs when ray was there i heard he passed away a couple of years ago really nice bloke also arthur nicholls is probably the nicest gaffer ive ever worked for me and old furry face just seemed to clicked
hi dennis here your right alan arthur was alright he would do anything to help a driver, i drove the f10 globetrotter after alfie
i don’t think there’s been a better truck to drive.
Hi chaps i drove both of these first the F10 then the F12, great pictures mattress thanks is there any more
Yeah thats the one Dan i was talking to Alan Stephenson last weekend at Brian Youngs wedding doo!!
I’m not sure about Ingleston i might have a look up in the car as im going to the Truckstar festival in Assen
the weekend before, are you going up??
yes I’l be at edinburgh. the lorry looks well after her 6 week sabbatical at hogarths. pleased to be rid of the onion selling lorry. Are you taking the lorry to assen or just yourself? Dan
The premium will make you appreciate your V8 more Dan, did Hogarths do a good job??
I’m just going to Holland on the old Pariffin Parrot for a long weekend mate!!
Hogarths nowt flash. painted the clarts on the wheels. Grille didn’t shut. went back. now doesn’t open. Windscreen was leaking so they smeared in some black silicone with a digit. half of it on windscreen itsself. still leaking. However, she looks tidier, it’l never be right again though. moral of the story? don’t let banjo playing hicks drive lorries!
There’s nothing worse than someone else bumping you’re motor Dan especially to do that much damage!!
My windscreen leaked on mine when it was new only if it was windy and raining hard but it cracked and since it’s had a new one it’s been fine. And i think you’re correct they are never the same mate!!
