Lest we forget that we can obtain one of Jim Bowens’ catchphrases (“Super”) in chrome.

Just need “Smashing, Great, Look what you could have won”. now :laughing:

Don’t forget to get one of these to go with the naked grill girl- roadking.co.uk/steering-whee … -knob.html
:grimacing:

Lol… I bloody detest these wheel knobs, always have done. I’ve been in RDC’s and seen guys with these stupid big knobs throwing the steering wheel furiously from lock to lock and STILL they can’t get their truck on the bay!, some of them couldn’t hit a ‘cows arse with a banjo’ never mind hit a bay straight :laughing:

I used to carry an adjustable spanner and If I had to drive a truck with a knob fitted I’d unbolt it and lob it on the floor!

Harry Monk:
I haven’t seen one for years, but I always thought the most tasteful 1980s truck decoration was the “24v Love Call” complete with windscreen sucker and cigarette lighter plug.

Unfortunately, this one is not lit up. When they were, and sitting in the windscreen of a Scania 112, it is almost impossible to describe the effect these things had on women. They would literally be throwing their moist ■■■■■■■ at your windscreen as you passed.

Omg… the memories come flooding back. …

As we’re discussing tat… who still has that 80s must have window accessory, the little lit up Christmas tree? :grimacing:

Truck tat generation game…please read in a Bruce Forsythe style…

I confess to using one of these, and not because I can’t reverse either mate thanks…back axle on a postage stamp in fact :sunglasses:

Nice to see you have respect for other driver’s trucks btw, I lurrrve drivers like you…not. :imp:
However if you have the good manners to pick it back up off the deck, and re.fit it on your return… just ignore me. :smiley:

Christ I had most of those in the 80s, :blush: in fact I think the flag strips were actually compulsory by law! :smiley:

Can I confess to still having the chain wallet in everyday use today, it used to be a badge of honour for all ‘Euro chauffers’ at that time along with Dutch clacks, (bloody hell I still wear them sometimes as well come to think of it :blush: ) I’ve ditched the Wham tight restrictive shorts though that completed the set. :laughing: but a lot of the stuff you mention will be on the attic somewhere.

We used to remove the All Ride steering wheel cover off of one truck because we knew how upset the driver got.

I’m amazed no one has sign written that on a Scania grill yet!

It would raise a smile out of me at least. (I know simple things please etc)

What about that leather coffin lining material that Scania drivers pay a fortune to have glued to the engine cover, cab walls etc. Not to mention colour coded dashboard and a silly LED board with “Scania” written on it. Ot if you’ve been in T and D and want to “thank my boss” then LED lightboard with company name on it.
And Bullys’ special (needs) prize…
An air duster gun, which (if in a Scania) has to hang down in front of the driver.
For such a premium priced truck, why are Scanias covered in so much crap?

I like the way you held back there…

Buy a XXL football shirt for stupid money, and make the passenger seat wear it.
This one mostly applies to skip drivers; Put your hi viz jacket around the passenger seat and then fit a halloween mask to the headrest.
Namplates with ridiculous nick names like “Big Dave” when the driver makes Warwick Davis look like Andre the Giant. Especially in a Daf CF.
