SCANIA730:
I used to follow the British tipper trucks on facebook I left after about 2 moths I got so [zb] off with that Doyle lorry getting uploaded 24/7! OTT IMHO it’s ridiculous!
Respect to you mate, I didn’t last half that and I drive tippers. Bang on about that Doyle tipper, last straw was it’s driver posting how he doesn’t care what people say about it. So why respond to them all the time? Just keep getting out to eat your lunch, put slippers on to drive it and burst into tears everytime you approach a wheelwash.

I’m wondering whereabouts in the home counties you encounter kangaroos though.
Funnily enough, I hit a deer on my way to work last monday morning. Just coming round the Hedon by-pass east of Dull at about 4.45 when it appeared on my front offside. There was no way I could have avoided it and I hit it with the front spoiler and then went over it with the o/s/f wheel. As much as it shook me up, I reversed back to, assuming it was dead, drag it off the road. Three cars appeared and promptly ran over it!! My ride is a campervan based on a Toyota Granvia, similar to the Hiace, and it’s fitted with spoilers and skirts and such like and I feared the worst but the only damage was some paint missing under the light cluster. As I’m a wildlife lover, it was a truly awful incident but I’m impressed with how solid my rice-burner is built .

Sorry but that just looks gay as ■■■■!
Only way I’d drive that is with a paper bag over my head!
I bet at night it looks like a council house at Christmas.
If I had a regular truck, yes I’d proberbly spend a little bringing it up to my standard.
I’ll agree it’s not mine, but would you spend a little improving the looks of rented accommodation?
Each to their own, it’s been said before, do what you want with your money, if it makes you smile…
On that note, I certainly wouldn’t spend hundreds trawling the country watching pre madonnas kicking a football around a field, just because its says in the rule book, that’s what men are supposed to do.

Grammar police verbal warning. Prima Donnas.
Unless you’re talking about Madonna’s support act.

Switch I hope you have filled the risk assessment form in for that bulb, some drivers would rather sit at the side of the road and wait for a fitter to come, and then some wouldn’t know where to start, and as for Mike, show us hour payslip or shut up, what on earth has it got to do with you how much people get paid.
I got a phone call the other week I was about 8 miles from the yard, cab phone rings, “pull over as soon as you can!”, me “what’s wrong?”, night manager says “a fitter has just been following you on the way to work, you have a tail light out, someone’s on their way to you”.
I wasn’t allowed to move and I’d have done it myself when I got to the yard.
Don’t you carry bulbs? Could of said you’ll pull over and change and be back before the fitter had time to get a bulb?

No mate were only aloud to do our own bulbs in the yard, on the road it’s a call out job, anyway they use some weird screws and the screwdrivers are like £15 each, well I ain’t buying it and they’ll never issue 2000 of them so it’s a call out job.
I know someone who bought a hino snatchback from a finance company. Don’t know about other parts of the country but our local dealer acorn trucks supplied a lot of them when they really took off with a top bar and spots and air horns etc. This one also had frilly curtains in black with orange tassels and a set behind the seats with a pelmet dividing the bunk area. He got so fed up everyone ripping the loss he pulled the curtains out as everyone reckoned it looked like going in to the furnace at a crematorium
What with the distinct lack of cohesion and goodwill on here tonight, I’m going to bump this thread in the name of peace and harmony.
…And to ridicule you sad ■■■■■■■■ with your frilly curtain tassles and powder coated Scania interiors.
