A Harris and Sons of Brownhills - trading as Pat Collins Ltd - seem to have a really smart fleet on show!

The Carntyne tanker would suit you fine Lawrence being full of whisky.

Showmen IMHO are in the top league with regard to older wagon preservation and use and I guess pretty much all in house, done during down time, that’s in no way to demean or decry other individuals or teams who also show fantastic dedication and result with what they turn their hand to. Now then for all lovers of the 8pot Gardner Atkinson Borderer, here’s a treat, two vids, parts 1 and 2 and considering what’s behind I think the lady could be considered extremely competent.

It sure would Leyland600, Of course it would take a long time to sup it, 
Regards Larry.
I know then haul out of Highland Park in Kirkwall but usually in casks within crown lock vans but they also do a great deal of business with other distilleries further south. Keep meeting them all the time on the A9 along with Chivas Bros and McPhersons of Aberlour.

I have always admired the way the showmen looked after their equipment. I remember some years ago having my Mastiff repaired at ‘Bould Irwin’, just outside Ulverston. While I was waiting, an Emerson ( a noted local fair) tractor unit was towed in. I think it had been pulling 3 trailers - slowly - when the transmission packed up. Mrs Emerson who looked about 90 came in, and Keith Irwin asked her how long she was expecting to keep the vehicle. She just looked at him for several seconds and said ‘I wasn’t actually thinking about getting rid of it!’

Hi Oily, This is G.Lowdon Ltd from Seaton Burn which was the original A1 Great North Road, The pub has now been demolished as has the Pit baths opposite, G.Lowdon Ltd are still trading but in haulage only, Appart from some repairs to the local Horse folk who get the Boxes serviced there, Regards Larry.
Thanks to Lawrence Dunbar for the pic , tho’ need a bit o’ a clue 
Larry.
Once in a while something a bit different comes along and today in Dingwall for me this was it. There have been and are many variations of the Unimog, for me this diy cabriolet tipper adaption would be my favourite, and it sounded sweet.

Fine wee motor servo, as you say pity about the wheels. Personally I’ve no time for alloys, had two vans in the past with them, air psi leaky, especially after a tyre change, tho’ I cured that, two vans before the present one came with the get you home puncture repair gunge kit instead of a spare wheel,latex and a small compressor, totally useless, for puncture repair, so bought a spare steel wheel, already had a set of steel wheel studs and before binning the kit, I dropped the pressure on the leaky alloy wheel/tyre and connected the compressor(12v) and goo, gave it a squirt or two, spun the wheel to evenly spread the sealant then put the pressure back up with my 230v compressor and pressure remained constant while I had the van.
