Hy Pat. Nice video. To shame it isn't the entire video. If you have time, watch the documentary on my channel about 1985 Australian Roadtrain transport. Have a nice day!
Great Stuff Patrick.. I remember hearing about one driver who used to do the former 'east European' runs in the 70's/80s who used to take loads of Polaroid Sunglasses and ladies stockings to exchange for fuel !!..
Hi Pat nice vid. Type "Destination Doha" into youtube, it was made by the BBC in 1977 and is excellent. I have it on DVD. Also there is a good book called "Cola Cowboys" about the Middle East run, written by a journalist who went along for the ride.
I love old stuff like this Patrick, days when if it broke down you had no choice but to fix it and get on with it. A fellow Youtuber sent me some DVD's of old transport footage. The english company ASTRA was based in Kent, Ashford, I think, they made a documentary about going to DOHA in the Middle East, brilliant film. Took about 6 weeks to get there, 6 weeks back, then do it all again... Nooooo :-)
I was 16 when you started driving, just left school... :-)
Nice . It looks like the German Trucker Movie " AUF ACHSE"in the 80"

Those guys along with the Astran and other UK drivers are "proper" drivers, not like some of the motorway chauffeurs around today!
