#ThrowBackThursday. Scania Special Edition

Does anyone else wonder where all the time is going?! It’s racing past us right now! QUICKLY, PASS ME THE LID! MY LIFE IS ESCAPING! But at least we have some glorious weather. Anyway to get to point before I bombarded you with thousands of words that lets face it no one needs.

Anyhow *GET TO THE FRIGGING POINT YOU BOGGLE EYED ATTENTION SEEKING FREAK’*. So #ThrowBackThursday this week is Whites former beautiful Black Amber. Personally I’m not that interested in special editions but this one did look great. Many drivers are really into them though so they are great photography subjects. Probably my favourite edition with the Red Passion.

One of plans with website is regular features on same day every week and this is one. Still need pictures of your trucks it trucks you like for Tuesday’s #TopTruckTuesday. If you’ve any ideas of features to be a weekly post let me know, I need five more to add to #ThrowBackThursday & #LampeterLorrySpotting .

#News: New DAF Released

Hello one and all. So after much talk the new DAF tulip wagon has been released. It’s rather good looking. The dash has had an entire revamp too making it so much more useable. Digital dash as is becoming the norm now. Bed much more useable. DAF already had the best bed in the business the past 20+ years so it’ll be interesting to see how this one compares. Also I think the extra window in the passenger door is a fantastic idea, though I can hear the drivers moaning about it already! The other day I was thinking about the Leyland Roadrunner. Remember they had an extra window in front? I was wondering why that never caught on. Personally I want as much visibility as possible. Also I imagine many will say how similar it is to other trucks. Fact is a truck now has very specific features that dictate what they look like so there’s fairly a small amount of flexibility designers have. Fuel consumption, cooling, GVW, safety all trump aesthetics.  https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom  ...

#ThrowbackThursday: The Londoners

So as you may have seen I’ve been writing much more recently, I love it and I’ve had some really great reactions to these stories of my past so here’s another one! Videos will continue but I’m pivoting more and more to writing, hopefully going to do a lot more for Truck & Driver and possibly other magazines, watch this space! Always open to constructive criticism or offers of assignments. #ThrowBackThursday. So just before Christmas I mentioned my time at Davies Bros, my first driving job. They ran buses and also had their own European tour department, and this was what I was aiming for. I passed my PSV at 19, back then you could get it at 18 but only drive local service bus routes till you are 21. When I turned 21 they started easing me in to coach work with London Express trips. Basically they ran a coach daily from West Wales to London, you’d park up 10 hours then drive back. Needed to be two drivers and the most I think I ever remember taking down was about 6 people, so the wri...
