Some Pretty Pictures

 Someone asked to see pictures of this so here she is. The Volvo Dual Clutch 540 I took to Italy to review. Actually probably no word of a lie the single best truck I’ve ever driven. The Virginia 750 will always be my favourite but technologically this was on another level entirely. The dual clutch is a sublime driving experience, the adaptive up and downhill as well as flat cruise control with engine brake makes everything so effortless. It literally went over the Alps with minimal driver intervention. Thanks to Martin Tomlinson at Volvo for making it possible and Pete White for giving me the perfect run and Truck & Driver Magazine for printing the review. Hope to get into reviews like this much more when driving again. Have a great day all.




Have a great evening all

Hello chums. Waterford Show was a great time, met loads of great people and saw lots of brilliant trucks. Im gonna do a blog post later in the week with pics and the like. If you have any of you that you had taken with me and Bertie please send them so I can share. lorrydriverluke@live.com. I met a certain someone at the show as you can see in the pic, I think Bertie's new name plate sums the situation up! Anyhow, have a little bonus video. Of me on a milk round with my Dad.

Background- after a serious car accident in 2020 that very nearly killed me I started thinking about the future, as you do when you came so close to not having one! Driving was my dream job, I’ve driven so many things from minibuses and coaches to trucks & vans and even plant machiny like articulated dumper trucks & diggers in a career that crossed 20+ countries in Europe from Portugal to Hungary to Norway to Finland to Ireland and everywhere in between so many times over a near 25 year career.. I had the time of my life, it was amazing, but…… I’ve done all I dreamed of. My CV looks ridiculous because I wanted to experience everything, which I did. But this has left me wondering what’s next? Do I simply repeat everything over the next 20 years. Which would be easy but not fulfilling or do I strike out on a new path? I’m choosing the latter.   I’m incredibly experienced as a driver but obvio...
