A nice touch…bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-24514287
A lot of you will have at least heard of Martin.
He was the ‘face of Volvo’ for years for many hauliers in the south-west, first through Westward Commercials and then Volvo Truck & Bus.
He also contributed to Trucking and other magazines, both as Martin Phippard and Dave Martin.
And made many videos of trucks at work around the world.
Martin’s videos are ‘CP Productions’,but as far as I know do not feature ■■■■■■■ or spanking.
He is Canadian by birth and drove loads of different trucks in North America in the 1970s.
Thank you gasgas. I couldn’t find any text to accompany the story.
Great story.Happy birthday Martin.
