HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGINIA TRANSPORT

So as some of you may know it was Virginia's 30th birthday bash last night. I think I'm safe to say that a good time was had by all, well me certainly. A big talking point was their three flagships parked outside lit up by flood lights. There was a constant stream of people looking at them all night. And I can't blame them it was a stunning line up. I still have to keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not actually dreaming that this amazing incredible Volvo is my new lorry. I drove it today down to Rosslare and god its just amazing. I only weigh 25 tonnes but even then I really got an idea of the beast that she is. The acceleration is staggering, gently press your foot to the floor and she surges away like a monster. I just can't wait till I get to really test her with some mountains and a heavy load. So anyhow I'm on the Irish Ferries boat to France right now en route to Portugal. There shall be a decent review of the beauty in that video, in the meantime here are some pictures from last night. I hope you enjoy.....

This model below was mad, real engine noises, lights, indicators and went like the wind! Brilliant.

And last but not least the men behind Virginia transport. Not sure they'll like me putting their pic up but hey ho. A nicer bunch of chaps you couldn't hope to meet and in an industry renowned for being full of a holes they are like a breath of fresh air. 5 and a half years in an I've no intention of going anywhere soon. Unless I drop off the road again and get the sack! My previous longest job was 1 year, so that says a lot.

HERES TO ANOTHER 30 YEARS

(I'M UNLIKELY TO BE HERE BY THAT STAGE THOUGH!)
