THE TRUCKSHOW WEEKEND

How do friends. Hope everyone is enjoying the heatwave. As many of you may know I did the All Wales Truckshow the weekend just gone. The heat was stifiling making cleaning and polishing my lorry something of an ordeal. I had to have a lie down with the aircon on after. The chaps from the four lorries in the same row as me cleaned from start to finish and I'm not sure how they managed it without collapsing. Two of them quite rightly won trophies though so their hard work paid off.

CAB COOKING; A HEALTHY FORTIFYING LUNCH

Now I do love fruit and veg, but I've never been a huge fan of salads it has to be said, but recently I've started making my own and they are delicious.

It has a nice bite to it, a combination of the crispy salad stuffs and the tang of the sweetfire baby beetroot. The beauty of a salad is you can make it anyhow you please, add things or leave them out. I found this particular combination the tastiest for me. I've named it the Lady Michelle Chicken Salad, as it looks great and has a nice kick to it. ;-) Time taken - 15 minutes 1 baby gem lettuce 1 chicken breast, diced 3/4 small sweetfire baby beetroot Half a pepper ...

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...
