Nostalgia

I hope that 'Management' here don't mind me diverting members to another source of entertainment. If it breaks Forum Rules I apologise and will understand if this gets deleted.

Mainly for the older trunkers and particularly ex-pats, but also for the education of non-Brits (and younger folk), here is a website that has photographs of allsorts of road transport from the last hundred years or so:-
http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/pa...ruckphotos.htm
Select one of the branches (The latest 500, Earlier pictures and Veterans) then click on the subject to display the image, and when you have exhausted your curiosity, make sure that you visit ChrisHodge's homepage and the 'fun photos' @ http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/fu...eww/pageww.htm and the TruckFest @ http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/fu...arPicsHome.htm

If you use Firefox you can search on a keyword by selecting 'Edit' from the top toolbar and then 'Find' - enter your search phrase and 'Next' (this may also work with Internet Destroyer). You might need to activate the toolbar first . . .

I found that I started marvelling at the 'before my time' vehicles in the Veteran section, then realised that some were from the days that I was working and I started to feel that I was reprising my career. There's even one photograph that might well have been me driving . . .
