1972farming Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Nice models 1972 - Finefare is a name from the past eh? Fine Fare became Gateway which in turn became Somerfield . My mate used to drive for Somerfield and one of his mates there used to drive for Fine Fare . So I made him one ,then two more blokes wanted them so I ended up making two more .

JC Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Does using the word "Ergonomic" and "Leyland" in the same post entitle one to a Numpty? I would think so.... more like broken vertebrae cab would be better suited!!! I learnt to drive in a Leyland Clydsdale at the age of 9 or 10 and had a weekend job carting shotblast waste to the tip on a private site using one not much after that time, I had arms like "GARTH" after a couple of weeks with the not so powered steering!!! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Memories of a summer spent drawing away from a Clayson M103 with a 12ft header and a Claas Mercator with a 10ft header using a BMC/Austin tipper and a DB 1210 pulling a BMC/Austin chassis with the cab cut off and a home made tipper body on the back. I was too young to have a licence (14/15?), but we always managed to swap vehicles before I hit the public road. I have a particular memory of getting the truck (empty) stuck in the stable yard on greasy cobblestones and having to make what should have been a 90 degree right turn by doing a 450 degree left turn, in a very tight space. All the time mindful that there were two combines waiting for me to arrive back to empty them. Needless to say, John Leathers has a buyer for one of his M103s in this parish in the not too distant future. The BMC/Austin had power steering (Thank God!) but the 4 speed box with Eaton splitter was - how should I phrase this? - great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
