Good morrow

Hello chums I hope this Friday finds you well. I've just loaded in the midlands for Barcelona Monday so a nice easy run south for me among with materiel for a other video gram.
Its been a slightly eventful week, Holly was in for a service this week so the Scania dealer asked if we'd help deliver some Stobart lorries to their Dublin depot, so of course I jumped at the chance to fulfill a life long dream to drive a brand new truck belonging to Europes premier logistics experts ;-) So off I trundles in a low cab G400, literally no expense has been spent, and of course take some pictures to document reaching the pinnacle of  my driving career. Little did I know that posting them online would lead to the meltdown of a member on Trucknet, a member who doesn't consider me worthy of me even kissing a Stobart drivers boots. Its well worth a read if you want a laugh. Ady1 the member in question is (was) a prolific poster always saying how much he loves working for Stobart.

And finally it may surprise some of you to hear I got bored of the iPhone! So I've got myself a beautiful new Nokia Lumia running Windows. I've had it a day playing with it and its a beauty  stunning to look at and the social media integration puts the iPhone to shame. I used to be a massive Nokia fan so its good to have one again. My first smartphone was a Nokia Communicator 13 years ago, yes THIRTEEN YEARS! The smartphone didn't arrive with the iPhone despite what some may think! And I think that phone was my favourite ever phone. I've still got one at home, will see if I can find it.
Anyhow have a great weekend all and of course 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...
