Plenty of what I consider to be the competition there James! hehe

I saw a Pulleyn truck in the yard today - couldn't recall seeing them before. Not sure if it was the one you photographed recently.

Lol!

Yeah Pulleyn have a really well turned out fleet on the whole. (Based up Reading way IIRC) that was the 1st MP4 of theirs I've pointed the camera out thus far, looked spot on! Got some tidy MP3 units also.

They remind me of the German haulier Wagner Trans who I see quite a lot of up and down here (Got a very smart silver livery cab/trailer design) who look VERY similar! (Pretty sure they are associated to DHL somewhere down the line. Got MP3/4 Mercs and DAFs primarily.)

What company are you associated with if you don't mind me asking? (I'll try and keep my eyes peeled... smile )

That is fantastic? How did it sound? I want to take one off-roading. Or to Waitrose. Either would be equally amusing smile

Lol!

Yeah, it was pretty immense in both presence and sound! These beasts can travel across battle fields with 20+ton Challenger tanks on their backs so i'd imagine off-roading or green laning would be a doddle for this!

That sounds like him, about a mile or so north of Blackcat, the bridge with a water tower next to it.

I saw James at the end of last week and he was having IT issues...he was hoping to be back on line soon. He was also looking forward to harvest so hopefully if he's not fixed he will have something to occupy himself. Will send him your regards if I see him first.

Spotted Mr (or Mrs) Sheen last night in Tesco car park. Nine miles and £3 for a Pritt Stick to complete some homework! And to think I moaned about £900 for a school skiing trip.

Cheers Sam, got my computer back this morning complete with some nice new parts so all is well again. Was getting worried that i wouldn't have it back before Kimbolton!...

Thanks for the spots as ever Andy! thumbup

Got a ton of stuff to sort out and post on here and elsewhere so bear with me lol!

Doubt that would have been me on the Saturday mentioned as i don't go out on the weekends usually (Unless i've been made aware beforehand about something that might appear, but i haven't recently) i do know of one or two other folks who like to take pics along the road further north though... smile
