Michael McLaughlins Volvo FH v1


Hullo all. Like most of us these days I spend an inordinate amount of time online, esp since I’m married to my sofa currently so I see a lot of truck pictures. A LOT! Some amazing trucks out there but this one shared on LinkedIn this week blew me away. Freshly restored, beautifully standard. As you know I’m not a fan at all of spot lights and bars, if you are and it’s what makes you happy go for it, but it often feels like I’m the odd one out. So when one like this comes along she almost stands out more for what is not on her. Plus I love a flat top lorry! Probably I think with the black Leyland Interstate on the show scene my favourite classic Truck. The colour is insane!

The owner Michael from Coleraine has been a www.lorry-driver.com follower from the start it turns out so you never know I may see her in the flesh at some point as I’m hoping to do a trip to Ireland in first half of next year. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mclaughlin-aabb991a2

Have a great day all.

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...
