And I thought you had slept in

I have never read any of his books there is always time Where do you find this gent?

Here is one I have never been on at Greenock.

A couple of articles from today's P&J

The first fuel problem I had on my first car a Ford Corsair broke down on Carse Road on my way home from work. My father was a plant fitter but could do sort any problems on cars as well so we went round with his van after dinner. I opened the bonnet and he took of the air filter to get to the carburetor then I started to turn the engine over he was saying there was no petrol getting to the carburetor. He then came round to the drivers door turned the key and said "it won't start with no bloody petrol in the tank" Oops................

Ok it's a Triumph Dolomite and Volvo 343. How times have changed on the ferries!

Are you sure you didn't think it was a Marina you had

I like the Macbraynes Bedford TK in Stornoway, they were a basic lorry but good to drive the one that I had was the 570 which had the four cylinder engine and lacked power especially on the hills.

That's a Hillman Avenger my father had the 1500 GLS which had good spec for the time and was quite nippy although if yo went over 70mph there was a howling wind noise from the front windscreen/door pillars.

Yes it was going north and there was nothing said to me about taking the photos but there was a lot of panic when the lorry got stuck and there was a lot of work on the brakes to hold it on the hill and the clutch to get it started again.

Yes I am well travelled That one is nearer home, Neil Gunn memorial up the heights of docharty

While heading north on the A9 one morning north of Helmsdale I overtook a slow moving lorry with no markings with a van travelling close behind so I stopped a the Berridale Braes to take a photo. As it rounded the hairpin bend it had to stop for a car coming down the hill. When the car was clear driver started to move again and the lorry was loosing traction where the shellgrip was worn away on the road which seemed to cause a panic with the men in following van. The guys jumped out then running back for their yellow jackets, one rushed up the road to stop any more traffic coming down the hill while the driver got out of the lorry to check out the situation. After reversing back down the hill a few meters and three attempts the lorry got grip by going right over on the opposite side of the road and made it's way up the hill. I managed to get a photo of the detail on the back of the trailer which was going to a Colin Macdonald at UKAEA Dounreay and the weight 50 tones. With the lorry and trailer weight included would be near 80 tones I wonder what was in the trailer!

That would have made it easier but I didn't need it Who is this memorial for?

Pladda Lighthouse south of Arran.

I like the Rangers one

And before the Centenary Club there was the 200 club which was run by Reenie Urquhart which I had won a few prizes over the years so joined the Centenary Club from the start and also had a few prizes If your not a member it's worth joining.

At Bucht Park where they played at the time Mike didn't play but used to go and support the team.

Yes he turned out to be a good signing, playing a number of good games before the season ended suddenly.

Still brings a tear to the eye after 20 years. A lot of people thought we were mad going back down on a Tuesday night for the game but Bhoy it was worth it
