South Wales Hauliers sixties and seventies onwards (Part 1)

well done to mr cooper and anybody who has contrbuited to 200 pages.

dave the renagade better look out only 67 pages behind!!!

Ioan was originally from west wales, so I assumed he must have gone back there, good to know he is still alive and kicking, does anyone know if he still runs trucks,his 88 was a lovely motor. I also remember an erf but cannot recall any transcons,he did borrow one off dai chains from porth occasionally, but thats another story!

200 pages what a milestone lets keep it going :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
