have done a mile or two in the Cookies old Volvo she was at the end of her life when I got her and she wasn’t very reliable also painted in Tayforth colours.
thanks harry long retired.
What’s the history of that Volvo F12 8-legger with the Carlisle reg,I can’t remember seeing one before although I probably have,just disappeared in the mists of time…

That Volvo looks a bit out of place with that single axled trailer Harry,should have at least two axles to make it more “balanced”,not as though it matters as long as t’money is the same.

Hi Chris,
Possibly the Volvo worked within or around British Nuclear Fuels at Sellafield.
Another possible owner could have been the M. U. ( no, NOT Mothers` Union ! ) in ■■■■■■■■
Maybe someone will know.
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Thanks for that,I wondered what that apparatus on the front was,looks like a coupling,and what’s that on the roof,aircon unit?If it was owt to do with BNFL would it have a local Carlisle reg though,instead of a London reg.By MU I take it you mean 14 MU of the RAF in Carlisle? Just a thought,'appen I’d better shut up. 
the f12 8 legger was featured in a supertruck magazine back in the day,cant remember which one though,sorry.
No worries bubbs mate,
Any pics of Maggies 232’s would be great if you have any please.
Hi again,great pics Marc22…keep them coming mate,I can take a back seat with stuff like that coming in ,Right then Jamie,I went through the Maggie box and found some old 232s/310s including 2 of Streets,hope they’re ok. 
Cheers Bubbs,
Cheers old mate,top stuff,I love the look of those old Maggie’s.

That’s some heavy duty towing pin on the front of the F12,and that looks like a winch fairlead at the bottom of the grille.

hiya,
Chris the trailer does have two axles a la a four in line trailer both sets of wheels being removable seperately and the trailer was plenty big enough on a Monday morning when turning out full of booze from a Sunday session,but that wouldn’t have been me of course, bit like you everything by the book.
thanks harry long retired.

I’ve found out it was a one-off for the Royal Navy Ian and was last heard of on the fairground scene up north.It’s been on the net and in magazines apparantly.
Hello again,great wrecker pic Kevmac,anyone who gets an oppertunity to photograph a Foden or an ERF should grab it cos they wont be around forever…dont forget Sed/Atks too
Todays stuff. 
Talking about taking photographs this one below was taken about 5 years ago on a trip to Holland
L to R…Arthur Ingram,Clive Davis(kneeling) Me,Peter Davies(famous for PD on a roll in Classic Commercials) and Adrian Cypher…Arthur is around 80 now and in a recent letter to me he said he took 840 photos in 3 days .
It doesn’t matter how old you are,if you get a chance to take some photos of lorries have a go,We all wish we’d took pics of our old long gone lorries.
Cheers Bubbs,
Love the park royal mark. cheers mick
Hi Marcus,
Many thanks for all the great pics you keep putting on,you never cease to amaze me !!
I took your advice and photographed this Foden today looks like it was operated in your area !
Also a couple of Magirus shots for NZ JAMIE I think the 232 SYA 12 R was ex Milcox or Streets
Regards
Richard
