Muhammed Ali’s life story is my current read, I don’t think it will help me much,

Dont know about that : he has done alot that others would not have even tried, and with being disabled, cant think of a better person to sneak in a few quotes from. Anyway glad you can show folks what life is like on the road in the transporty business.

I’ll remember that the next time I’m going through Louisville, he can get a mention :laughing:

You know what might be really neat, if you got a web cam and mounted it to the grill of your rig. Short clips going through interesting places and stuff.

Let me guess, you have one for sale :question: :laughing:

Trust me, my writing style and my driving style are worlds apart, in fact if you knew me you wouldn’t believe I was able to construct a single sentance, I am what is commonly referred to as a hooligan in real life and my driving reflects that, a webcam would have me fired and probably prosecuted before I clear Minneapolis :smiling_imp: :laughing:

As a matter of interest, how much :question:

Well you can buy a cheap web cam for about $20,00. The system I have cost me 989.00 but you wouldn’t need it if you wish not to have any incriminating evidence. A Cheap regular grill web cam would work and you just edit the clip to remove eeeerrrr well some of your creative driving style.

$989CDN for a web cam,are you mad ? ooops,wrong question :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

lol,black ribbon i wish, up here on the escarpment we must have had about 6+inchs o snow yesterday ,one o the council guys came round wi a loader last night and pushed the snow into ffff heaps in front of everyones drives .and its frozen solid …t…t…
good idea about the grill cam,would give people an idea what its like minus the dodgy bits o course.

I may set up a cam in the screen, I did a video on my camera once of a just before rush hour dash through the middle of Chicago, I was on a mission so it’s not fit for public consumption, not if I want to keep my licence anyway :smiling_imp: :laughing:

I’ll speak to the man, see if we can put some video with the blog :wink:

Our snow from yesterday has all gone now, I have to say I was not impressed when I got up yesterday and saw that crap coming down, we moved at xmas and I was looking forward to seeing my gardens for the first time :laughing:

I’m heading out west now, hopefully that’s all sorted now, they had a load of the stuff, FTTM keep your eye out for me, I’ll be coming through on my way to Lethbridge way at 6pm ish, from there I’m going down to the Gulf Coast of Texas, time I topped up my tan :sunglasses:

Thats the nice thing about the 4 camera CCTV setup I picked up. Records 24/7 for 60 days, Infrared night, with zoom on all cameras. You just edit out the creative driving parts, can also save your ■■■■ if some 4 wheel unit runs into you. You can select parts for training ect. Down side they can see when you cheat on your pretrip. :laughing:

How many people don’t want these cameras because of their bad habits?

I don’t cheat on my pretrip and I run legal, so I have nothing to fear from a camera really, I reckon the law will mandate the EOBR soon so I’m getting prepared for it early, my remarks regarding driving like a lunatic were tongue in cheek, I’m a professional and I take my job seriously.

I still have no use for your camera, maybe you can fix it to your baby buggy, but please don’t do it in the delivery room, that’s far TMI :open_mouth:

Why on earth did you give her the idea NMM ? Not too sure on the timescale of certain happenings,and to be honest I find it all very bizarre and difficult to comprehend,now thanks to you we will endure video footage,nice one mate. :unamused: Will be spending most of my spare time in my shop for the next while rather than the laptop so hopefully that’ll ease my suffering. :laughing: Take it you’re feeling better :question:
