Assume that a ginger man next to a trailer similar to this (Not 100% sure which trailer is going as we are busy supplying other shows/events) is me
Today’s the day.
I’ll try and find you. Is there a special TNUK handshake or does a special limp do it? [emoji23]
You have missed out on me then as im not there till Friday, I was setting up another MAN trailer at the Royal Cornwall Show today 
Yeah one of your colleagues said you might be in Cornwall.
Yours truly posted the fastest lap of the day and won both races in the truck simulator which is next to ‘your’ trailer at the off road coarse. Won a prize for it [emoji23] not bad out of about 300 guests.

Very similar but MAN didn’t have any cars or the palfinder stuff.
On a positive we didn’t have to wear stoopid hi viz vests [emoji23]
The smallest thing we drove was their tge vans which were very good. They do fwd, rwd and all wheel drive. I took one on the high speed bowl and got 105mph out of it! Very refined they are too!
Surprised I’ve not seen a single one in the road yet.
The 8 wheel tippers have now got a thing called “brake steer” which when engaged brakes the inside drive wheels allowing the truck to turn tighter than without it. It did seem to make a difference on the off road coarse.
I had to have a go in a tgx with the ‘new’ auto gearbox to see if I regretted choosing a proper full manual…I don’t [emoji57]
Not sure if the hardware is new or if they’ve just done a software upgrade but it only felt marginally better to me, certainly not as good as I remember my 12 plate ishift being!
