Hiya …the photo’s are spot on …if you need to resize them go to photobucket then edit wait for larger photo
click crop then you highlight the little the box to what you need to see then click done and replace origanal…
infact you can still make the photo’s bigger now. when you crop them in photo bucket it replaces you photo
on TN…hope it helps

The quality and quantity of photo’s on here is fantastic. I thank all of you for continuing to give immense pleasure to me and many others i’m sure. Being based in Bangkok, I am starved of quality trucks to look at.

I can’t wait to see Rolands F89 after restoration. It looks fantastic at the moment. The F88/9 were one of my all time favourite trucks.

Many thanks from a very grateful expat.

Nothing changes over the years does it? This was what it was always like on the upper reaches of the M5 before they put the 3rd lane in.Flipping Welshmen getting under your feet,creeping like snails,gasping for breath!!! We used to “sail” up behind them in the 8 wheeler and trailer and there they’ed sit,fast a sleep,and baulk you!!! We were more than likely loaded for Carlisle and then had to run back into Barrow the same day!! Those “hero’s” were probably only going to Longbridge then back M/T to South Wales!!! It was usually quicker to go over the Brecon Beacons,which we normally did!! Keep your elbows in Taff!! Cheers Dennis.

No response as yet on “the case of the S.Wales M5 lane blockers” probably because all the posters on the thread weren’t around during the day’s I’m referring to! I know I’m “past it” but I can remember when the M5 was two lane and ran from south of B/ham to the M50!!! Cheers Dennis.

The M5 didn’t go below Tewkesbury when you were driving that Leyland Dennis,we were still hauling to the Tewkesbury to Bristol section that was the last part to be built in 1970.I bet you didn’t scalp many of Sam Longson’s over Brecon Beacons :laughing: .
