Another week another truck

Happy years end friends. Hope it finds you well. Well since there is no sign of my truck being done yet (top tip, don't crash right before Christmas!) I've had to swap into another truck. Not as nice looking as Gertrude or Holly but holy Jesus what a beast. I suddenly miss having a V8. It's an ex Reed Bordall jobby do as basic as they come but it's a three pedal opticruise, which I'm pleasantly surprised by. Great gearbox in my opinion. Drove over Snowdonia in it in the early hours of this morning with a full load of meat and good grief it pulls like a train, and you should hear the noise, it's awesome. A right beast of a truck. Plus after Gertrude's drink problem (averaging 6mpg in the two weeks I had her!!!) it's nice to have big tanks. From Virginia to Bristol and the needle has barely moved.

So getting to the point I've named this one Brian Aldridge, charges around making a lot of noise and is full of hot air (the heater is stuck on full!). Anyhow have a really spiffing new year.

ONWARD...
