Happy Fridayeve

Hope life finds everyone well. Just been having a picture sort out on my laptop so I thought I'd post a couple of interesting ones from past couple of years.

You often see Iranian trucks in Italy. In fact by Milan or Turin I can't remember there is a service area which is often full of them. From old Americans like this one to Chinese trucks based on the old Volvo FL10 cab -




These trucks belong to a chain of restaurants in France called Buffalo Grill. Every one is different, not every ones cup of tea but a bit of a change to the norm -


And this turned up in the yard while I was there in May 2010, a brand new demonstrator. I was first to take it for a spin and loved it. Little did I know at the time 5 months later I'd have one of my very own.


So there you go, just a little update. Will hopefully post another short Movember update on Tuesday at the end of week 2. Also I can't wait to get out with my new tripod and start taking some night shots. Watch this space.

#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...
