AN UPDATE....AND A PRETTY LORRY

Hello chums and errrr, chums. Hope today finds you well. I'm in bed having a lie in and thought I'd post an update. Sorry content is a bit thin on the ground of late but that is about to change. I shall be making another Top Tips video in the coming week or so. Due to popular demand this will be picking up and dropping trailers. Apparently I've been told videos showing this on European trucks are hard to find so I shall set to work on that once Holly has had a wash! Talking of videos I've been doing a lot of UK work of late hence the lack of travel videos. I think the European work is picking up a little so hopefully we can get back to it. And next month there will be an exciting series of videos for you but that's all I'm saying for now, I'm planning them as we speak. So anyhow have a lovely weekend one and all and I suppose I should get up and cook my breakfast now.

Finally the picture is Holly parked next to the truck of my good friend from my HSF days Mr Richard Hamilton. As many of you know doing this job its like passing ships in the night but its good when you happen to meet a chum for a natter. Its an R560 and a bloody spiffing one at that. ONWARD

Thanking 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...
