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