A little update

Thanks one and all for the nice comments about the latest video. The next one will be sometime in mid October and be a bit of travel and cooking. In the meantime here's a short picture update from last weeks trip back to Vienna.

A rather fine old lady still working. I love driving these old beasts.


Another oldie. Can't say I'm a Ford fan but this was immaculate and it's nice to see modern classics like this.



This was a damn good looking machine. Didn't stop so I couldn't get a better pic. It was just nice and simple.


Tipping in UK. Thought this twas a fine selection of 440's!


I rather like the graffiti in the dirt on this one!


What exactly is this 'ghost' road under the toll end of the Dartford Crossing?


And finally not exactly work related but I was quite taken with this old lady. She's a waffle van!


Have a spiffing week all.

ONWARD!

#MyTopThree; Vehicles. Number 1

I was young once! (To be fair I was at least 35 here!) So……my all time favourite truck was never really in doubt was it?! My FH16 750 I drove for Virginia is the single best vehicle I’ve ever driven but as a whole the Volvo FH is in my opinion one of the best vehicles ever made, and the final version with this cab, the V3, the ultimate version. The only sensible downside anyone can ever come up with is inside space with the sharply raked screen. It was a struggle at first moving from a Topline but when everything else was just better about the Volvo, not least an extra 310 horses under my right foot!.  When Virginia gave me the 750 I thought I’d better make the most of it, of having the most powerful truck on the road as Scania had only lost the title a year or two previously so as everyone said (including me) they’d soon bring out a 750 killer. Well, that took a while. Only now have they released the 770S, 9 years after this truck hit the road and 6 years after I stopped driving i...

#ThrowbackThursday; Where It All Began….

 #ThrowbackThursday - So if you’ve followed me for long you will already know I’ve had a rather ridiculous career working for every man and his dog, driving everything from vans to rigids to artics to drawbars to buses and coaches. I’m really proud of my bonkers career, it’s been absolutely amazing! But, my driving career didn’t start on the road, it started on a landfill, in a Moxy! For pretty my whole childhood Dad was a mechanic who drove on the side. I used to spend lots of time with him, going away in lorries or spending the weekend with him in the workshop. One job he had was for a local plant hire company and this was one of the best as back in those days when no one really cared much about H&S, I got to drive and play with machines in the yard. It got to point where I could lift engines and axles etc with pinpoint precision with the mini digger, helping Pops. Can’t dig a hole to save my life tho! One day one of the bosses saw me gently lifting the engine back into a Mox...
