Last pic, the Merc with the Tank… that’d would have been me, if I’d worked there…the wheels give it away,…red with white rims, love it, most of the motors I had ended up looking me that… :blush: :blush:

Sad init… :unamused:

Nowt wrong with personalising your motor I reckon :unamused: if that’s your cup of tea that is… :wink:

Been giving some footage of a old colleague who’s done quite some remarkable trips to further away destinations… This being Russia, Romenia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Sudan and Ethiopia… :sunglasses:

Cheers, Patrick

And some pic’s from the past few weeks, mind you, that all took place a bit closer to home… :wink:

Cheers, Patrick

Tales from the workshop…

Good pix as usual Patrick, that trailer you have now behind the Volvo, does the lead axle steer? Must have a bit of tyre scrub If not.

Cheers mate!

That first axle does steer and I can lift it, but I still do leave a certain amount of “rubber markings” on the tarmac…especially when manoeuvring…
I don’t like that trailer all that much, mainly because of that first axle, you really have to think twice about where to put the middle point of the weight of the load on the trailer, if it’s to far to the back, then you’ve got not enough pressure on the driving axles…
But rumour has it that those trailers are going to be replaced somewhere next year, so I’ll just hope for the best…

Cheers, Patrick

Wasn’t present myself there Danne, but I think I’ve heard the lads talking about some 70ish tonnes when empty…?

Same vehicle, different cab after a visit to the workshop…

Some of the lads went up north, in this case really up north as the Shetland Islands was the final destination…pic’s were taken in Lerwick by a collegue of mine.

Some strange creature was encountered and was quite happy to pose… :wink:

Wow thats a really nice trip eh? And yes im abit yellus of it :blush:

Well, according to the lads it was mostly rainy and windy :wink: But I’ve to admit I was a bit jealous as well, it’s not some place you go to every week eh…
