Roy Rogers finally makes it onto Biglorryblog--but without Trigger. He's with a Leyland instead

"A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend, he'll never let you down..he's honest and faithful right up to the end that wonderful one-two-three four-legged friend..." Yes it was only a matter of time befeore Roy Rogers appeared on Biglorryblog. And here he is resplendant on this Leyand (I think Freighter..or it might be a Cruiser) sent to me by Ashley L, 'BLB's man in Malta'. And for a pie..what film did Roy star in with Bob Hope and Jane Russell in which he sang the above song along with Trigger the dancing horse?

And here it is again--only not comments about cowboy outfits OK? Now how about a Bedford with a lovely wooden dropside body on the back--obviously kept in a very up market garage...with pictures on the wall.

Meanwhile, click through here for a bus that thinks it's truck...or is it the other way around.

Ashley insists: "There is a truck under that bus body and it still does a days hard work no trouble at all in blistering heat."

Thanks Ashley, nice pix--and to finish here's a heavy duty Iveco artic tipper---ready for anything I'd say.
