Lawrence Dunbar:
Newcastle upon Tyne to London in 1923 with wagon & drag on solid tyres and maybe 10 to 12 tons gross weight,looks like a few nights out on that run and looks like 2 wheel brakeing as well,they must have been great drivers in them days.
Yes I remember my old grandad telling me it a full week, but he drove steam traction engines before that so I must have been a bonus to get a wagon with a cab on, He moved on to Scammells as the years went on, some real classic motors, Regards Larry

Having started at page 1 and enjoyed them right through, all credit to bubbleman for getting it going and his continuing contributions along with others. I left lorries a long time ago, but never lost interest, I have a few pictures which I have posted on other threads but hopefully they may be of interest on here. They are mostly in and around Oxfordshire.
