Hi Kevin, Perhaps you fancy something a little more sophisticated, how do you fancy doing little removal jobs around town with this wee pantechnicon I snapped on the Isle of Capri in 2005. It had been loading luggage at the mini bus station for onward transit to hotels etc. Note there are slightly larger buses providing local services on this very hilly, with narrow streets and roadways island. Perhaps this first photo should be posted under Roping and Sheeting !!
Cheers, Leyland 600.
The TNUK CSi on the “Professional” thread would have a fit if they were presented with that “load of groupage”. The timber looks particularly well secured and supported on those beer crates. Regards Kev.
Hi Golf Buggy Driver, Gee !! I thought this was the new president of the USA but the haircut is a bit different, As for a load back, no chance, you don’t appear to have any means of protecting the proposed load I was willing to sub contract to you, no sheets ( a main and and a fly sheet most certainly required) no ropes or hooks on the platform to make the load secure, I don’t trust those newfangled ratchet straps you should know better and use a tried and tested load securing method. Is this a cowboy outfit ? no tax disc although not required these days and no operators licence in the windscreen, what do you use for a tachograph ? a wind up alarm clock ? so I am afraid that I have to disappoint you driver. Oh and the load by the way was half a ton in bags of Cuckoo Pellets to Carrs Mill at Silloth. Don’t be deterred give me a call another day if you are down this way and have all the appropriate requirements in place and I will see what a load of (zb) I can find for you, would a dozen drops be OK ?
Cheers, The Wheelbarrow Haulage Co.
So do I, Kev, but I wouldn’t want to go far in a high wind with that one!
My brother-in-law and I had visions a couple of years ago of shoehorning a Suzuki 1,000 engine into a TukTuk and using it for allotment duties. Until we found out how much people are asking for them!
Hi Oily and ROF, the Cunningham Reiver was origibally owned by Road Services Caledonian, Dumfries, The Smith of Maddiston one was in preservation here in ■■■■■■■ by an Alston resident and the late Peter Drummond Super Reiver was owned by the late Mick Hayton at Dumfries I don’t know who the original Northumbrian owner was . I think Redpath’s may be original with the Berwickshire JSH registration number.
Cheers, Leyland 600

Thanks for the memory TIDDERSON, the Smith Parkinson and Cole Albion by the canal, I started work for them in 1962 apprentice mechanic age 14, they had a fleet of Albion’s and a couple of Austin’s, there aren’t many photos of them about, the garage was not far from the B R S depot in Bradford which I’m sure you will know, anyone got any more. Les.
Regards Kev.
