#ThrowbackThursday


#ThrowbackThursday One of my favourite lorries Dad ever had. This was on a run to Madrid. She actually got more interest than the just out SuperSpaceCab would have being a Leyland cabbed DAF, super rare over there and Leyland DAF name almost unknown. I always loved the look of the Roadtrain and they looked great with the Leyland DAF grille. Complete with our ferry ticket I found the other day! DJ were new to international work and only really dallied with it, I noticed ticket was on Mansel Davies account, a company we’d both end up working for 20 years later, and they borrowed a DKV card from local coach company, Davies Bros! The place I started my driving career a couple of years after this! West Wales Transport is a small world!

As you’ll know I’m a huge fan of autos so this seemed rather exciting to me. I mentioned online about how much I wanted to drive one but that it may be a while as it was a cost extra. At this point Martin Tomlinson at Volvo Trucks UK messaged me to ask if I’d like their demonstrator for a week. You can guess my excitement! I got even more excited when Whites Transport Services Ltd who I was going to be using it for gave me a run to Italy, the Alps being the ultimate test for any vehicle. So, off we went max weight with a fridge full of lambs. Being a demonstrator from HQ meant this had every conceivable extra fitted and it was fantastic! The dual clutch turned out even better than expected. Not having to drop ...
