Looking towards Heaven :slight_smile: , as the “Popemobile” is being driven onto the De Rooy drawbar trailer .

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Sorry , I don`t know. I was just about to leave the Museum when the loader appeared, and my car was blocked-in.
I decided to take the photographs whilst I was waiting.

I wonder if the Scottish God Alex Salmond is going to use it as he parades around Scotland during his
Scottish Independence campaign. :unamused: :confused:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

No No that motors no fancy enough for wee Salmond he was going to borrow Trumps Cadillac but well as we all know the s–t hit the FAN aka Windmill on that deal so he will have to spend more of the taxpayers money on a Luxury Coach Jolly round Scotland. Eddie.

Golden Oldies

Here are some of mine and others I have known…

My mate Reno used to run this one from Udine in north east Italy

Bobby Knox drove this one for Marshalls of Armadale.

My F7 mid 80’s

My F12 on its first trip, before I painted it.

Some times it was a bit tight.

On my way to Tunisia.

A little known Fact: if you paint something green it looks a lot longer than it really is ( thats my version and I’m sticking to it )

Jeff…

More recently I’ve been on this…

One of the other lads

This is what they look like when they’re folded up for the ride home.

Jeff…

Hello Jeff when I saw that last photo of the Western Star with the trailer folded I was thinking you must cover some mileage empty when it justifies having the folding trailer setup because they will cost a fair old sum. Having seen loads of photos from OZ,NZ and Canada I have often wondered about this. Eddie.

Hi Eddie, becaues we run mainly from the plantations to the mills about 1/2 the milage is empty ( thats the return trip ) . A lot of the forest access is very tight with 3 to 5 k’s reversing in. Half the time that’s at night as most of the trucks work 2 shifts 12 hour each, so it saves a lot of time reversing in a folded up jinker rather than an artic or drag.
