irish lorries:
Are the UK and Ireland ones not like the one in your first photo
The first photo shows the standard UK issue in the '90s but there have been variations on the theme, including little ones! Robert
THIS was dads last truck before massive heart attach stopped him driving ( did drive himself in A & E in Dover ) and have it left truck and tank in the car park. Just in the 90,s
It’s always a sad day when things like that happen Boat Chaser I remember seeing Carmans/ Brit European getting about.
Here’s a 109 that I’ve been driving recently Pete.
Jeff…
Hey, or you can steal one as once on my lorry 
And the worst you can still by the old one’s for only 15à 20 € 
Bye Eric,
Or try Van Dijk Commerce in Holland, www.scaniaclassicshelpdesk.com Good luck! A-J
Spot on Eric: these, in my opinion, were the best of the lot! Robert 
Somewhere I should have one, however without the white edge, around 1980’s version and Dutch.
hey, Yes there was a difference between the Dutch and Belgian ones, today they use lighter blue, but nearly
you don’t see them today. And Russian don’t allow them any more today or ■■?
Where are the days you were proud to be allowed to have it on the from of you trailer or bumper 
.
In some countries if you had it on the bumper they took the tractor inclosed and had to left the tractor at the customs park at night and could look for a hotel as a truck trailer driver had to do, but that is long long gone .
Bye Eric,
Thanks for the link would get one sometime

I loved my days on tilts, when I was no for Trans Mondo we had tilts and fridges and even though the fridges were easy work I always put my hand up for the tilts.
With Bustone in the mid 90’s I was starting to get " not wanted here " looks when I pulled up with a tilt at some of the tube factories. Once the Euro linners came on the scene with the electric roll back roofs that was it over for the tilt. I remember being in a steel works in the south of Italy with my tilt and was told to strip out the front bay outside, ( it was mid summer and just after lunch ) there was a line of French German and Dutch Euro linners that got processed while I was getting stripped out and not one of them offered to help. They all just sipped coffee in the air conditioned office while they watched me. After I was loaded I had to do the same again to build it up again.
As for brake downs as Robert mentioned outside Europe most folk used to stop, and do what ever they could to help, even if it was to take a message to get help, or a bit of moral support, but in the EEC you were invisible. I even got passed by a line of Hangartener trucks when I was changing a wheel, a very disappointing day.Jeff…
Hi Jeff! Is this the company you worked for?
Danne
Flaming eck Dan where did you get that photo of my old Volvo from… Yes that was my old F 12, the bloke I sold it to added the crane and a extra axle, he did machinery removals. He didn’t do much road work mainly installation and extractions…
When I was on for Trans Mondo the trucks were white with no signage at all, we had series 1 FH’s and 143’s but add a few years and slightly change the operation and that would be spot on, it looks like an Italian plate as well. I had heard they had stopped operations to exotic locations and were staying closer to home now… That photo looks a bit Scandinavian!!!
Thank’s Dan you made my day…
PS we did another gear box this week… that’s 4 in 3 months… boss man very sad 
Jeff…

Great pics of Dover Robert .
robert1952:
My Dover pics seemed to amuse a few of you, and I’ve now found some more photos I took in Dover in the '90s for you to pore over. Robert054321
Have to say i like those pics of Dover Robert , i remember when murfitts were everywhere down there, there is even one of those elusive Scania drawbars which Murfitts operated in the top pic --its all in contrast to the current climate, when i was down there in august for a few days this year ,there were very few uk registered vehicles passing through Dover…
Regards Roadcruiser
Well Jeff thats not good,time to buy some real lorrys? At least try somthing different from the KWs… My old FH610 got 1200000km on the clock and only one gearbox and one clutch,i think thats good for a heavyhuling truck.
