It may seem a daft question, but has anyone spoken to Tony Febland, does he know of the sites existance. It is a couple of years since I have spoken to him. I am sure he would appreciate these imputs.
Facebook, Facebook? whats that all about John? Sorry fella your’e dealing with a technophobe here. I would like to get in touch with Tony, but you may as well be speaking in Vulcan to me. I have only just mastered text messaging.

I think I have cracked it, watch this space…
The legend of the site, Byron Grimshaw, was caught the other night putting his coverted Volvo to bed, wispering, ‘You know you are the only one, MY PRECIOUS’. It reminded me of a little character from Lord of he Rings for some reason, I do not know why. I don’t know what Kim will make of this!!
My name is Jason Howitt, Peter Howitt’s son . My dad worked for Feblands for around 12 years. The red and white L reg Daf in the picture was my dads. After that he sold it and Feblands gave him a maggerius deutsch (can’t spell it), after that he got a 141 reg dbd357t and then a X reg 142. I went with my old man in his truck to italy every summer holday. I remember Gary being alot of fun , I think he lived in Marton Bpool, John Wall AKA Captain Birdseye and Byron, I seem to remember he was one of the younger drivers and a great guy and was good at cartoon art. The person I remember most is Franko, not the mechanic though, he was an italian driver who lived in Oldham I think . I met him and his whole family on many a trip to Novara. He smoked about 100 Marlboro cigs a day. When you followed him you would see empty packets flying out of the window every hour. Does anybody remember Franco nearly killing himself after going out on the vino and crashing that green convertible fibreglass citreon under the back of a lorry parked just a 100 yards down the road from the yard? He was a right mess . My dad and I visited him in the hospital in Novara. I also met the young lad called Wayne a couple of years in a row. We played together in the yard on a moped, Which he came off and took aload of skin off his arm and looked pretty painful. Also the story about about Captain Birdseye following a snowplough is not correct. It was my dad who followed the plough into the campsite followed by a few more drivers, hence his CB handle was Campsite Pete. My dad passed away in 1992 and loved working for Feblands. I have great childhood memories of going with my dad and most of the trucks in the pics I have been in at one time another.
Brilliant post, can’t follow that!

Heyup Dad, welcome. You’ve got more front than Blackpool critisising my modes of transport, the Starsky and Hutch look was ‘in’ at the time. It was not me riding around in an ex-army skip 'till recently. Careful or I will tell them how you used to cry when when you were given a proper truck with a V8 as they were ‘uncomfortable’ and how I used to dock your ex’es.
Why are all your photos of Volvos in such a poor condition, what have you been doing with them??
We will have to organise a bit of a Febby reunion sometime.
Oh, the Gollum-like ‘old git’ hanging off the ‘girlie FH’ is YOU!!
On a serious note, I was saddened to hear about Campsite Pete, a character. Didn’t Peter have a taxi as well?
Cry Cry ! me. It was “that” Tim Pulman,who talked me into giving up Volvo F10 Uffy,I think he poisoned me with Scania bullsheet and I was taken aback for a moment,he gave me Ian Mayers LB 141 said I needed more power, by the time I got to Dunquerke,its then that I broke down in tears, my back was destroyed my eyeballs were shaken to distraction,depression engulfed me,yes, how could I have betrayed the lovely F10.And as for docking my ex es,I didnt care,Id never earned so much money in all my life. The volvo UFFY just looks dirty (not in poor condition) this is caused by working in the elements, something you would not know anything about, sat in your nice warm office with the rest of the girls!!! I wont turn up at a Febby reunion because YOU gave my F12 away and made me have a 112m 6 x 2 bin wagon and I DONT FORGET!!! The old git hangin off the volvo cannot possibly be me because I look like George Clooney. May your God Bless Peter Howitt, always fondly remembered. BYRON
Byron my friend you are a strange breed and make no sense!!
