Some more old photos

How do peeps. Just a few old photos for you to peruse should you be remotely interested. One of me next to my Moxy Dumper. This was my first ever driving job, on a rubbish tip during my school holidays at the age of 15. Can you imagine that happening now! I loved it and it was great experience.

The other two are from my time at a company called The Glider. Basically a full sized coach with only 28 seats and all 5 star hotels. So at the age of 22 I gave up driving a brand new coach in London for The Londoners to head off on my first tour. It was to Norway. I even remember the date we left, 24th May 2000. Amazing job. It only lasted one summer but in that time I managed to stay in some of Europe's best hotels and did tours to Norway, Germany, Czech Rep, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and France. Really quite an amazing ride while it lasted and one amazing opportunity for someone that age.

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...
