New Poll

Thanks for the votes people. So it seems I'm certainly not alone with my preference of Stena. I went on the new Stena Line Superfast boats on the new Belfast - Cairnryan service this week and they are superb. The food in the drivers lounge was fantastic.

So, a new poll. Are you a driver and if so what type. I've always been interested by the great variety of visitors to my site and watchers of my videos so it'll be good to see who does what.

Have a spiffing Wednesday eventide people. Good day to you

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...

Disaster!

Good Saturday to you. Something of a disaster has befallen the Trundlewagon videos. They've gone! So what was supposed to be a three part will now just have to suddenly end at part 2. Not entirely sure what happened there. So many apologies if you were waiting for the third part, you'll have to make do with my cycling rant! I promise I shall get filming soon. Will get started on the 'Lukes Top Tips' one soon! So as an apology here are a few more old pictures. An Oriel Jones F12. Beautiful truck. This was my Dads first local job after we moved to Wales. He was a mechanic/driver. He's actually back there now, just as a driver. But the abattoir is now owned by Dunbia and the transport is done by a chap called Brian Thomas who was a driver back then. Another pic is the Harris Plant Hire 2800 I think. My Dad was a mechanic here and it was them that gave me my first ever driving job driving a Moxy. The bloke that drove this lorry was in his 80's I think. He could bare...

FACEBOOK BULLSHIT

Blindsided by some mind blowing arrogance from Facebook this evening it led to me frankly popping this video out in the fastest time ever. They have shut the incredibly popular Whites Transport Services Facebook page down with no explanation and no right to appeal. This is disgusting behaviour by Facebook, could be seriously commercially damaging yet they don’t seem to want to listen. So if anyone has any advice please let us know.
