Hiya,
Kev no need for the metal headgear as far as I’m concerned the
Europeans were always in competition with the Americans who
could produce the ugliest “les modes transportes”. Er’ Kevin is
that tin hat going begging.

At the risk of being called a philistine, I think it’s one of the ugliest motors I’ve ever seen.
Thank [zb] I never had to drive that!!
Seasons greetings everyone. Regards Kev. Ps. Tin hat firmly in place.
You are a PHILISTINE, and you’ll need more than a tin hat, you’d better start digging a nuclear bomb proof shelter…

I hope for your sake that Fergie doesn’t know where you live mate!

I’ve got him covered Whippersnapper, not sure exactly where he lives so sadly there will be collateral damage to the whole of Gateshead, still, c’est la vie…that’ll teach Gateshead and the surrounding area for harboring a Philistine in their mists…
Seasonal mix of wagons in the snow…
Just like to wish everyone who contributes, (particularly those that fill in all the details on the photos that are put up) who look at, and enjoys this thread, a Happy New Year, and lets hope that 2022 is kind to everyone.
PS. Everyone that is except the Philistines on here…they know who they are…

Oh, oh, Kev, what have you done!!! I made that mistake a few years ago. Going into hiding didn’t help - he still found me. Fergie seems to have contacts everywhere…
Anyway. Wishing you all a Happy New Year.

Well Kevmac, that makes me feel a lot better, I shan’t have any conscience about the collateral damage, it appears you’re all philistines up norf, I shall sleep soundly … watch out for a bright light in the sky, but, you’ll never hear the bang…

The brown sealed envelope with lots of cash sent each month has saved you Johnny…

Frohes neues Jahr.

To redeem myself a little bit, in the seventies I used to see a lot of maroon bonneted wine tankers travelling on the A2/M2 between Dover and London. I thought they were dogs danglies for style. Any info on them Fergie? Regards Kev.
Happy New Year to all.Ref. the maroon wine tankers,it’s likely they were early long nose Scania Artics belonging to the French firm Giraud?
Best Wishes for 2022,900x20.

Thanks 900x20! Scania Tractors makes sense with the style angle. Just think of the same trailers being reluctantly dragged around by TV tractors!! Oops sorry my style antenna is twitching again. regards Kev.
I think I might need that tin hat again. I’d better leave the Glenfiddich alone!!!

I’ve got to agree Larry, as you know it’s a long time since I succumbed to the amber nectar,
My stomach problems will fight back tomorrow, but tonight!! Who cares 
. Best regards for the new year, regards Kev.
Thanks Kev, I will toast your good health right now and when the bells ring in the new year, All the best to you and your good lady & family, Larry.

I remember them too! They were Scania-Vabis units and the wine tankers were a company called Giraud. Before they built the A2 by-pass from Brenley Corner, I used to have to follow them at crawling pace through Boughton as I drove to work in the mornings.
