A long shot - Identify a vehicle

Looks like this has been well and truly solved! :grimacing:

Interestingly enough, I did see a vehicle matching the description today. Heading south at 1650 just south of minishant so the time would match too.
I actually saw 4 plain white scanias with white trailers between cairnryan and ayr. First one was a single but had a company name on the barn doors. Second was a decker with the same company name on the same of the trailer (they drop and swap same as us). The third was the possible suspect and the fourth was an ASDA unit with a plain white trailer

Looks like it may be a regular user of that road or a hell of a coincidence!

They do Nick. Problem was, I was trying the left hand ’ it feels different ’ technique, and caught my knuckles on the armrest.

Tried it in the gloves that our place provide, but they are those crappy grey suede type things with the circus tent wrist bit.
No good.

Try gripping your knob tightly for 10 minutes till it goes numb, switch hands and hey presto it feels like your giving somebody else a ■■■■■■■.

Dave how do you know what it feels like giving someone else a ■■■■■■■?!

That is a whole world of pain you really don’t want the answer to! :open_mouth:

Think your plan is a bit mixed up, the idea is; you lie on your hand for ten minutes first, then you can pretend it is someone else’s.

I’ll be honest as soon as I posted I realised I really really don’t want to know how! As long as there are no pictures or video I can probably cope.

Bluey- My Uncle Dave isn’t mixed up at all mate.

He is just a bit disturbed. I admire him greatly, and in fact have just tested his advice.

Problem is, I gripped a little too hard and broke my watch strap, and it fell on my knob. Mrs B found it very amusing, and even managed a tad of humour; " Have you got the time on you ■■■■? ".

Love that woman.

I tried tromboning once but kept blowing a bum note.
Just trying to raise the tone a bit.

Dave you are my perverted hero.

You have both well and truly warped my young fragile mind!

I run that road from girvin to gatehouse of fleet in a gritter and I can assure you that almost all of that road is a 40 apart from to areas that it turns into a double lane. One at the vosa and one just after it. And every driver on that road drives to the speed limit of there truck.

The a75 is a 50 mph zone now for trucks busted the troll

not in scotland its not

always love it when a thread goes wrong :laughing:

EITHER it goes the willies,and chugging way,or it goes somewhere totally unconnected…who gives a toss about gritters on the a75 ffs when the o/p was…do you know a white truck on the stena boat…class. :unamused:

Still no sign of him putting up the footage then :neutral_face:

if your on a decker on that stretch you work for one of the big 4 ,if you have a white fridge,with a roller door,same story…your on the same road every day,same time etc. mabey Scania man shipped the trailer,who knows,right or wrong it passes the time doing our trucknet csi.he should have let the fridge past on the straights before the hill.sounds like a load of pish to me,but what do I know… :wink:

I’ll be surprised if he comes back onto the site again after this car crash of a thread (no pun intended!)
Be on the look out for a new site member appearing soon sounding suspiciously like stagedriver! :laughing:

Did the white box turn into a fridge at the same time the empty 4x2 turned into a full decker?
Always suspected you go through some sort of time slip when heading for Stranraer

the time slip is when you come off the ferry at larne/Belfast…the tannoy belts out…thankyou for crossing the irish sea with us,you are now in northern Ireland,remember and put your clocks back 30 years.though to be fair,stranraer isn’t exactly the hub of the universe either…even the seagulls down there bring their own sandwiches … :slight_smile:

Just curious but on that stretch of road it must be common for the odd trucker to be in a rush and dare I say perform an overtake most would consider foolhardy. So why not just brake and remove the risk of an early cut in and ditching shenanigans.

Pussylike maybe but im a little vunerable once their cabs past so let em in.

I did have an incident with a fellow damsel the other week when another trucker undertook me on the hardshoulder on the M6 when the smart motorway wasnt active. To cut a long story short he went for it I accelerated till we had passed a few cameras then I braked to let him on both horns blazing, coffee beans exchanged and dashcam footage deleted.

The point of my story is deal with it roadside dont squeal on the internet like a big girls blouse, although the plobbers have lots of cameras so ill call BS on the OP.

I did brake, but he over took on double whites and on a right hand bend. His trailer was 3/4 of the way along when he hit me. Without a doubt he knew he made contact.

There are a lot of professional drivers out there but also a lot scumbags risking life everytime there on the road. how many times do you see them 3ft from the car in front wet conditions 55mph, can they stop nope, so people get killed through some fat jerk bullying other road users.
