As per this thread, my employers have been taken over by Eddie Stobart Group.

We were told that the distinctive Red of irlams Trucks would remain, this seems not quite the case!

Found this on e-bay this morning......

I sincerely hope for your sake that this is a joke.

Seems a little pointless, surely, they may as well just go the whole Stobart livery? :confused:

its just selling a photo

(sorry if I missed the sarcasm)

_PD_ · 19 Apr 2008 at 15:46

OK. Have you actually read the listing? Or have I got this wrong?

misunderstod op

I think you miss my point, I was more than surprised to find a photograph of my "new" vehicle on the bay!

I was expecting to see it on either Irlams or Stobarts website first perhaps?

It will be nice to get a Scania back!

I wonder if the seller is shifting many of those photo's? - Actually, you'd be surprised how many people take photo's of trucks!

Edit Cheers Rich.

I and a few others from the course are planning a 7 day lands end to john o' groats road trip. And we're thinking of things to do along they way.

I think Eddie Spotting just made the list.

They are unbelievable.

I've had an old couple pull up infront of me (@56MPH on the M25) and the passenger has climbed into the back to take a photo of the truck! :eek:

I Damn near ran the silly old sods down! :rolleyes:

And that is before I drive a Stobart livered truck!

On weekends, we get Truck Spotters calling at our yard to take photo's & write down trailer numbers, sad springs to mind.

I think we need a passing DON to (temporarily) change R124/LA420's name to 'Steady Eddie'
