hello ladys and gents… Since im a bit bored at home i just thought that i would add a few photos of things that i have managed to capture on my phone. Its of random lorrys and tour trucks seeing as i work for a touring company and many of you can guess which one… They also include photos of my trip to the scania vabis museum over the weekend. Did you know that scania made bikes before cars or lorrys… so all you scania drivers are just like people on push bikes :wink: :laughing: :laughing: hope you enjoy…

and here it is… the first vabis every made… one of the above photos is the 1st car they ever made…

Cheers for the pics, any of the touring stuff is always interesting. :wink:

As an observation, it looks like the DAFs seem to be the truck of choice for a lot of the touring companies. I know Redburns ran some Volvos as do FBN but even they have some smart looking 105s. Edwin Shirleys always seemed to run DAFs, Transam likewise. Think Stagetrux may run Volvos but overall it seems that DAF is the favourite. Coincidence?? :confused:

Maybe it is a weight thing or something along those lines? Maybe its because its the best size cab for double manning in??

They all look good though :wink:

More pics please! :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

bloody hell, Anton is still on the road? i had to chat dave up for a few weeks to get my light bar fitted. id never buy a bottom light bar, a mate of mine did once, woke up in the morning, all gone, around £500 inc lights. They cant get the buggers if theyre on the roof!
hope its all going well on there for ya buddy.
