I class myself as semi old skool I guess.
I used the air duster feed to blow up the soft super single! Took about 15 mins but it got me back to base!
Tell you what mate, old school or not, I don’t blow up truck tyres anymore, not since a guy I knew came a complete cropper because of it a few yrs ago, and that was also a super single.
Not good at posting links, but google this.
Large Tyre Inflation Safety Alert - Health and Safety Authority
Hmmm, yeah, maybe not a good idea I suppose. It did cross my mind so I put a cable tie round the trigger and left it inflating while I put the kettle on. The tyre was ‘only’ down to 80psi so hadn’t been run flat damaging the inside of the walls and is a nearly new tyre. But… your words of advice are duly noted [emoji1360]

Full moon? Driving on side lights out in the sticks, but just switching on the mains for a second on bends or brow of hill in case someone else is doing the same!
Once your eyes adjust you’ll see everything. Downside being on busy roads you’ll never be alone long enough to get used to it.

When I used to go into the transport office after a week away tramping to get my brown paper pay packet with cash in it, I recall seeing our paper tacho’s being used as coffee and tea cup coasters
Even though we got paid monday to Friday, me and the other lads used to enjoy coming in Saturday Mornings to clean and shine our wagons, have a cuppa and a bit of banter, deffo a happy part of the old days.
In Belgium we also use the term ’ Old Skool’ , but over here it means something else…
Drivers call themselves Old Skool usually drive fancy trucks with Old Skool sign written on their side windows…
Many owner drivers call them selves that aswell especially when they own a top of the range truck, but have the lowest cab option (not Globe or XL) on it plus a manual gearbox. Also not air-kit on it even though they pull Fridge trailers & tautliners.( Their fuel consumption must be heavy…).
eg. Danne’s mate with the low cab FH & manual 'box…
Like these for eg…

So in Belgium it means making odd equipment choices to look “ironic”?

No need to apologise for your language dude, I can’t speak yours 
Strange, I wouldn’t want to live in a low roof just to look cool. Sound like those hipsters with their big beards and pretend grey hair. Each to their own

I parked a few weeks ago opposite a Dutchman who had a Scania ‘low-line’ V8, 580. He didn’t speak to anybody, maybe because he had the best looking truck on the parking area( according to him anyway). It was quite novel watching him move all his things off the bed on to the floor just so he could use the bed…
