Title: JUST BACK FROM DUNDEE AGAIN
Post by: MikeDundee on 28 June 2007, 18:09:40
Yes had a drive up there Monday night left London at 10.45 stopped at Charnock services at 2.30 had some kip, some idiot woke me up in his transit parking next to me leaving his engine running at 4.30, hit Dundee at 8.15a.m., drove back yesterday leaving Dundee at 8.30 a.m. stopped at Gretna services at 11.30 for one hour, was back home in peckham for 5.00p.m.

However, whilst in Dundee spotted or passed a pre-facelift just wondered if it was phate321 as the car was the same colour.

 :)That's twice since the Lakes Mike. A few years ago when i drove for DFDS i used to take trailers of cat litter to Tesco dist. ctr. (ca'nt remember the ind. est. name) or to P.S Ridgeway Transport on another est.
        Ridgeways had a fleet of ERF's all painted up, dunno if you've seen them? [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Could well be, could you hear the knocking from the engine? Hotel21 and i are hoping too look at it for him tomorrow.

Next time you make a raiding party how about giving us a shout. Can always shut off the Tay Bridge or put a stop across from Perth. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Dunno to be quite honest but the Tesco main depot is just off the kingsway, not log after you come into Dundee from perth direction.

Quite possibly, I have only seen one the same as mine in Dundee so 50/50 odds. Would I have seen or been able to see you?

I followed a brand spanking new Omega yesterday, same colour as mine. I couldn't tell anything about it as it just had Omega on the back.
