Well if it’s Leyland Roadtrain day we’d better have another one of Bill Humphreys ; No girls in this one sorry
and just a little bit of Simon Sargents Roadtrain
Bob.
i may be wrong but i think that sargents roadtrain was one by him in a truck magazine
yeah yer right hanson simon won from truck magazine as a standard roadtrain and had it converted to a interstater and he went on to run a fleet of em to mainly germany,as far as i know he still has the one he won
and heres another of Sargents on route into Dover.

ooooh i have heard about these gems!! one driver was going through east germany one night, hit a big bump and lost all electrical power!! in the time before maps of east germany, that wasnt a good thing to happen!! great pics im on the hunt to see if anyone has any more that i work with
I suspect an awful lot of you will enjoy todays “theme”: F88 - F89 
To start, how about this for a rare photo?
It comes from the personal collection of Peter Roff:
His first Volvo (far right) was a 240. Parked next to it is his 290 and to the left of that, is a White Trux F89 in their special livery to celebrate the Queen’s silver jubilee.
So here you have it: An F88-240, F88-290 and an F89 
Cool ay?
And heres another from Peter Roff: His Chris Hudson liveried 240 which he drove himself on routes to and from Germany.
heres another cracking example of a 240

and some F89’s

and finally, for all you “day drivers” out there…fancy taking this baby out?
a rare old beast indeed! A day cabbed G88 rigid!
By the looks of it, i’d say it went into Europe 
Anyone know anything about C L International?
bring you all down to earth with a bump next time! Might do Merc or Fiat theme 
Just whe you thought this thread couldn’t get any better, it does. Cracking set of Volvo pictures there Ash. Thank you.

Cound`nt agree with you more
at this rate the thread will be needing its own site ,
Best thread for me since i came on here by far,
Keep it going Ash
and to finish, a Crusader run by BRS. Yes they did do M/E in these, but not sure if this particular vehicle went. I think this photo is by Peter Davies. Not one of mine.
Crusader theme is strong possiblity 
, so is Volvo F88/89
watch this space…

ahhhhh,feel better now
may b on me own,but them crusaders were best lookin motor of their time,looks built for purpose,proper motor…but hey,wot would i know piloting a “makes me back sore axor” again many thanks
Here`s one of the BRS Marathons for you whooshwhoosh, take from a scan (not a very good one)out of the BRS book
I think it said that they were run from Northampton depot, which last time i called in there it was the yard of E M Rogers
Have to agree with Coffeeholic cant get any better as far as im concerned
the f88/f89 were the ■■■■■■■■, and i think they were without doubt the
best looking truck with the split screen,really looked the part ! keep them
photos coming,and as everyone has said do a book,will be a best seller!
Dagenham Storage,which later became Hayes Distribution,used to run 2 or 3 G88 day cab unit’s on containers.
Got any more White Trux pics Ash?
Having grown up around the Kent area I remember seeing them quite a bit,and I seem to remember they were originally based at Aylesham near Canterbury.
I think there was a Volvo dealer at Aylesham too.
What about combining the FIAT theme with Maggie-Deutz?

yeah KW, i got pic of Hays G cab Volvo when it was used as a shunter, but reckon it should go on the next thread i do entitled: truckin in the 80’s “DOMESTIC” as opposed to this one: international…
got plenty more White Trux, but do they need to go on a “Middle East” thread?
Dont get me started on that one mate…
i like your idea of combining Fiats and Maggies…infact im struggling to find any decent Fiat pics. May have to include MAN and Renault too
whooshwhoosh:

youre certainly not alone matey. I too am an avid fan of the Crusader and so as an extra special treat for one night only… heres a few of the Watford
Wonders!
This one will get all the ears pricked up when i mention the magical word ASTRAN… (or should i say Asian Transport at this time)
they had this one on hire and was driven by one Gordon Pearce who did 3 trips to Tehran in it! Photo taken on route in Germany.
And take a look at this beasty. Steady now Whooshwoosh!
Apparantly Baileys did a spot of Mid East too, but i have no evidence…unless someone out there knows different…
Coombe Valley dabbled in a bit of European too
And this pic accompanied a press release from MAT Transport.
