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!

#News: New DAF Released

Hello one and all. So after much talk the new DAF tulip wagon has been released. It’s rather good looking. The dash has had an entire revamp too making it so much more useable. Digital dash as is becoming the norm now. Bed much more useable. DAF already had the best bed in the business the past 20+ years so it’ll be interesting to see how this one compares. Also I think the extra window in the passenger door is a fantastic idea, though I can hear the drivers moaning about it already! The other day I was thinking about the Leyland Roadrunner. Remember they had an extra window in front? I was wondering why that never caught on. Personally I want as much visibility as possible. Also I imagine many will say how similar it is to other trucks. Fact is a truck now has very specific features that dictate what they look like so there’s fairly a small amount of flexibility designers have. Fuel consumption, cooling, GVW, safety all trump aesthetics.  https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom  ...

#ThrowbackThursday; Virginas 30th.

  #ThrowbackThursday to 2012 and Virginias 30th birthday party in 2012. Being handed they keys to an FH16 750 bought to celebrate the 30th of the company I loved working for and the day after this pic shipping out on my first run in her on direct boat to France with four drops in Portugal probably won’t be topped in my career to be honest! Will keep trying though. They’re 40 soon! Happy Thursday all. Oh and quickly before anyone asks ‘do you miss it?’- no, one of my favourite features of the ADHD I almost certainly have is living relentlessly in the present, past has gone, the future doesn’t exist in my mind. I’ve never missed anything. It’s a good thing as I’ve seen too many in this industry particularly made miserable by what they consider was a better past.

SORRY AND AN EXPLANATION

Howdy doodle chaps and chapesses. As some of you have noticed I have been very quiet of late and still have outstanding videos. The truth of the matter is I needed a break from things, and it was nearly a permenant one! I was burning myself out and then some angry comments from people on various sites got to me a bit and I seriously considered giving it all up. I know I get and am grateful for the loads of brilliant positive messages, but sometimes a handful of bad ones from people that seemingly hate me outweigh no end of positive ones. It's hard to explain. Anyhow, a friend came up with the idea of having a page on my site for the horrible comments! Instead of interacting with these hateful loons just show them that they won't win.  So I may do that. So I did reach a decision. I do love my website and doing this so I shall continue, and try to ignore the hateful comments. I'm just me doing a job and sharing it with you. I don't profess to be great, or tell you you sho...
