Bloody Hell! An 8+8 just for a load of carrots, I mean, I like a carrot but that’s ridiculous.

Took these pics when I was down at Robinsons Commercials in Silloth Airfield a few months ago. As they belong to me I hereby give permission for anyone who is so minded to post them elsewhere should they wish to do so.
Thanks to Buzzer, mushroomman and toshboy for the photos .

What a lovely Tiger 110, 1960 and only has 750 miles on the clock, still used just for shows going by the MOT tests.

Your generosity is appreciated MRM, could it be extended to either car, rather than just a picture?

I know that you are into restoring old motors S.D.U. so when can you start.

Weren’t ERF associated with Western Star before being gobbled up by MAN?

You trying to teach us your personal language again Eddie?Thanks to MrSteel for the mention of the Atki wipers. I preferred the electric ones myself but if my memory serves the best thing about the air ones was that there was a little lever which allowed you to operate it (not the passenger one obviously) by hand as required in light rain for instance. I had a 1939 Packard 8 car and they were wild, the faster you went the slower they wiped, and no manual control, bizarre.
@Gazsa, more great pictures but is the scale of the Mk 2 correct, surely they weren’t that much lower than the SedAks, were they? I am prepared to stand corrected though. BTW, remind me which cafe that is.
@SDU, Now you know that can’t have been me, As far as Buntine was concerned, sleepers did not exist in my day.
I wonder how they pulled that out, brute force with several units or body trucks as we did once with Kevin’s last trailer. Noel’s double drive pulling at the front with George’s double drive body truck attached to the trailer chassis dragging it upright. Or did they unload it? In Kevin’s case most of the cows had unloaded themselves through the top.
The cafe is Pype Hayes I can’t recall where it was
Both lorries were driven by my Dad he had the Atkinson YTV357K when he first started at Stirlands and the Seddon Atkinson 401 XRR252Y he had from brand new he drove it for 13 years on general haulage
The painting was done for nostalgia the W&J Riding Volvo F7 was a sub contractor painted in their colours
Gary Brookfield added the Ridings lorry as they were also a TDG company
Cheers Gary 
The top picture to compare the difference in sizes of lorries
My Dad ( in the blue jacket) is stood next to Ted Thornhill (RIP) my Dad worked at Stirlands for 37 years he had to take early retirement due to health issues
Ted worked at Stirlands for 47 years
The bottom picture shows another comparison of sizes
