New DAF & Volvo

Hullo friends, hope everyone’s week started as you hoped it would. If it didn’t, well, sorry, tomorrow is another day, everything looks worse when tired. Unless it really is a pile of shit!

So anyway, I’m waffling you may have seen me mention that I’ll be going to see some super interesting new trucks this week and these are two of them (3rd revealed soon, super interesting, but not Broughtons). The DAF XG+ in particular I’m really interested to see, I’ve not actually seen one in the flesh yet. The size of the cab is bonkers, I’m not entirely sure how they’ve managed it but manage it DAF have. Rarely considered in same league by many as Volvo or Scania but DAF have been kings of the big cab for 40 years. When the 95 SuperSpaceCab came out it dwarfed everything else on the market and this looks like it’ll take the battle right up to the Scandinavians front door (tho in U.K. the XF has been the best selling tractor unit for over 25 years).

So yes, watch this space, follow me on twitter/Instagram/Facebook for real time info and should have the videos about them up next week at some point. Be a video for each. 

Have a great evening all. Thank you for the continuing help.

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.

Looking To The Future……..

So, here goes then! I’m a LinkedIn novice, having spent a lifetime as a driver! 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...
