5 here are some chaps who are clearly more suited to four wheels than two (or, in the Hawk's case, three). LDV marketing operations director Tony Lewis, pictured astride a 500cc bike belonging to Hi-Q Wolves Speedway Team, is such a chap. The Hawk's advice to Tony is to keep his mitts well away from that throttle as these bikes have no brakes and can go from 0-60mph in the time it takes to shake hands.
Bikes aside, Tony was there to present a midnight-blue metallic 2.8-tonne Pilot Pickup to the LDV-supported Wolves Speedway skipper Sam Ermolenko. The Wolves will use the Pilot to appear at league matches for team parades at their home ground in Wolverhampton. Although it can't match the bike for speed, the Pilot has an impressive payload of 1,366kg, power steering and hydraulic servoassisted brakes.
Bike or pickup? It's a safe bet which one the Hawk would choose...
The young one f you want to get ahead, get a hat! This little lad is taking this piece of advice rather seriously. Fouryear-old Ben Waugh from Dumfrieshire is seen posing on the steps of Tipcon at Manchester's G-Mex centre modelling a Scania cap which, at the moment, is just a tad on the large size. However his grandad, exhibition visitor Eddie Waugh, is hoping that by the time the cap fits young Ben will be behind the wheel of the real thing and not just sporting the logo. A wise investment 51 un-loving former cabinet minister David Mellor is pictured here congratulating Vincent Murphy and Margaret Evans, respectively managing director and personnel and training manager of FMW International Insurance Brokers, on becoming an Investor in People organisation.
FMW provides specialist insurance and risk management advice to freight forwarders and haulage contractors—it claims to be the first insurance company in Essex to achieve this recognition.
No doubt football fan Mr Mellor is now enjoying the World Cup—another chance to get his kit on!
