    Wow,,!!! , just sat outside with my mates stella and moretti, what flash backs , the eighties was definitely my era, those trucks brought back memories , even the roping and sheeting looked upoun with fond memories, the seddons the aec and atkis, sitting here thinking dad would have loved to see them , and the day he came home with a brand new scanny 111, the world wasnt big enough for his smile , can picture the day clear as day itself , memories a beutiful thing , sadly dad drives in the great skies above and beyond ,,,, me im content looking back with fondness wondering what the hell happened, anyways, musnt cry in my beer, I keep that for another day ,,,, heres to all drivers past and present 😂, cheers , its all appreciated by those who understand , thanx for videos brother ,👍👍

    Really love those F series Volvo's, they had such presence. I remember being in my dads knackerd ERF as a 15 year old in the early 80's sitting at a set of traffic light's when around the corner came a brand new F12 Globetrotter with curtain side trailer. It looked like a spaceship compared to my dads wreck and the sound from the big boxy exhaust was amazing. What a sight. I'm sure i saw my dad wipe away a tear!

    Great to see the photo of the Adtrans Scania. Must have been a hell of a journey driving all the way to the middle east and back in those days. Atkins were a local firm when I was at school in the late '70's and they used to run past my house at least a dozen times a day until they put a bloody new bypass in. Things were never the same again after that.

    Simply the best such history of british haulage at its best before to much regulation from the eu . I wonder how many of these companies are going still today ? diesel at 2 pounds a litre sad day for british haulage ! . Thanks for the videos and keep posting .

      I went to see my parents yesterday and my dad was saying when he first started in class 1 diesel was about £1 for 3 gallons !!! My uncle used to run his own wagons “Trevor Geddes transport” A seddon Atkinson Strato and a black Renault magnum. He felt the squeeze when it went up to £1 a litre. He wrapped it up a while ago now though.
      It’s atrocious the price now mate, I went past Tesco yesterday and even that was £1.99 !!! I was watching a lad on TH-cam the other day and he was saying a barrel of oil is cheaper now than in 2008. It’s to do with the strength of the pound against the dollar.
      I’ll try and find the link, it’s interesting

    M&B Haul;age at 6.56, I did a night trunk for them from the Forest of Dean to Dewsbury, for ten years, a great firm to work for. (PS my tractor unit was a DAF 85 6x2 M 669 RKY)

    Further to my comment last night realised I mean't "Astran" Scania not "Adtrans". Just in case anyone thinks I'm a bit stupid! 2.30 in the morning not a good idea to be commenting at my age.(No I had not been on the ale).
