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. I think the key is the hot chicken, it makes the whole thing seem more meal like if you know what I mean. This would never win a prize as the healthiest salad in the world, but a salad with a few more calories than the norm is better than no salad and a bag of chips! This is a really filling lunch and I do sometimes have it for my tea, dinner if you're posh!

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.

A SHORT DAF XF REVIEW

DAF Review So, one of most common questions I'm asked lately is what I think of the DAF.

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.

Full of the Pipe Trophy!

Howdy doodle peeps. As many of you will know me Holly and Bertie went to a truckshow in Cavan over the weekend. I was overwhelmed at the amazing amount of people that came to see us so thank you all it was fantastic to see each and every one of you. A brilliant weekend was beautifully topped off with a trophy for third place in the best 2009-2012 tractor unit category. So all in all a fantastic weekend. There will be video and pictures of all the people that visited us during the weekend later in the week. But for now heres a picture of our trophy! I look a bit dazed, this is immediatly after being presented with it and I'm still taking it in. I never expected to win any thing.
