[martin]

...............Of the low. Not only do I drive a truck but the gaffer has gave me a new un to drive next week and its a VOLVO Fook me thats not gonna sit well at all. Oh and just for you fatto berto this one comes with four large spot lamps on it. Get ya dark visor fitted :f

 

[Codbasher]

A VOLVO!!!


OOOhhhhhhhh Gimmmeeeee it please, I'm not proud I love em!!

 

[ianrobbo1]

:t I cannot condone the use of excessive lighting on what is primarily a working vehicle!! :t

 

[Stealth Rider]

Don't forget the correct use of the gears Martin
Take off in 1st don't forget :bang:

Fuelling

And thats where the problem starts. Its got I-shift. No fookin clutch pedal just a joystick. Still its got to be better than the Daf 95 XF that iv had this week. I can only compare it to an overgrown silly Labradour dog.

Oh and cods, this one is in our parent company log of Innov@te logistics. Ill dig out me name plate just for a visit to Kent.

 

[marcella]

your gonna have to change your avatar martin

 

[martin]

Marcella, it is merely a temporay change. 8l1nd I am now on holiday releif and therefore dont have me own truck anymore. I just use everyone else's and get paid a lot more to boot.

Cods forgot to say, I'll be at Brakes at Aylesford for 08.00 on Monday. If ya about give us a call and well sort out a brew.

Took out a Volvo 420 today from Reality Martin either fully auto or manual not bad but not good either, rather have the Iveco stralis that we use at our place, simular gearbox but better

 

[martin]

Hmm lookin forward to the challenge. I had the latest spec Merc Actros mega space earlier in the year. What a great bit of kit. Totaly different beast from the old Actros. Even the bed was comfy!!!!!!!!!!!! Still cant beat our 4 series Toplines if ya need to "hustle" along a bit

Ill let ya know what happens at the end of the week. Would have been sooner but iv had to take me ipaq in for repair today :B

Just be grateful you are not driving a Dodge truck...........

Well fook me, I never thought I would hear me say this, but I love VOLVO's.

FH12 globetrotter XL with i-shift is awsome. 460hp 24t on the back drop it into sport mode and semi auto and it will out drag a V8 530 scania. Who's the daddy!!!!! And its got a great stereo plays Velvet Revolver and AC/DC rather loudly. Enjoyed it that much I get to play with it for another week. I reckon they are gonna have to steal it back at the end of next week :bang:

 

[Koltrast]

Welcome to the bird truckers club Koltrast. FH16 :bow: :bow:

Codds they are running Daf cf high cabs out of ashford mate, but rumour has it they may be having our Toplines when our fleet gets changed. Ian or Matt down at Ashford are good blokes. If im down Kent next week I'll give ya a call.
