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!

A SHORT DAF XF REVIEW

DAF Review So, one of most common questions I'm asked lately is what I think of the DAF. Obviously for a long time time I've mostly driven Volvos and Scanias and before this job it was well over a decade since I last tramped full time in a DAF (for HSF). As you know though I had driven later models and hated the body XF with a passion!  When the current version came out DAF seemed very confidant it would change my mind about them in our Twitter exchanges but I thought how different can it be? The answer? A lot. In some ways its like a completely different truck despite being almost identical in looks. Firstly- the gearbox. The auto on previous DAFs was a fupping disaster and everyone knew it! Show, jerky and just generally rubbish in a way no auto should be this late in the day. That's completely changed, for the vast majority of the time it's indistinguishable from an iShift (that having long been the good standard). Yes it has its odd moments but they are very rare an...

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic...
