#ThrowbackThursday……on Friday

In a break to the normal ranting-

Late #ThrowbackThursday today. It’s 2007, I had not been long at Virginia, before this I was driving a Dutch DAF XF on the fabled HSF ‘day night days’, and I was piloting my year old R500 on a trip I had dreamed of since I was a childhood, Italy for the first time. It lived up to expectations as you can imagine and despite previous to this my longest job being barely a year I’d go on to work for Virginia for another 8 years. And the rest as they say is history. Have a great evening all. After literally dozens of jobs I landed on my feet with that one. (And before you ask- no, I don’t want to be away full time anymore!) (This truck was never in my videos, that was one after. This is 06CN831 one later 06CN830 ‘Bruce’ 😂)

#MyTopThree; Vehicles. Number 1

I was young once! (To be fair I was at least 35 here!) So……my all time favourite truck was never really in doubt was it?! My FH16 750 I drove for Virginia is the single best vehicle I’ve ever driven but as a whole the Volvo FH is in my opinion one of the best vehicles ever made, and the final version with this cab, the V3, the ultimate version. The only sensible downside anyone can ever come up with is inside space with the sharply raked screen. It was a struggle at first moving from a Topline but when everything else was just better about the Volvo, not least an extra 310 horses under my right foot!.  When Virginia gave me the 750 I thought I’d better make the most of it, of having the most powerful truck on the road as Scania had only lost the title a year or two previously so as everyone said (including me) they’d soon bring out a 750 killer. Well, that took a while. Only now have they released the 770S, 9 years after this truck hit the road and 6 years after I stopped driving i...
