Eddie Stobart Trucks and Trailers finale 8pm

Whats this Mo? A Stobart takeover of Trucknet :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hey Trucknetters!!! Stobbies have undercut Rikki

I wonder if this is the real Mo (Topgun) from Stobbies how would you know really?

Well Stuart mate, It sounds like youv’e been in the game long enough to sort out the ‘banter’ from the snide remarks :laughing: :wink: Whatever happened at the train would be something that spreads through a company like a virus, with every nob heads’ bit of nonsense added to it :unamused: Never mind it being shown on national TV with all the ‘DRAMA’ added by C5.

I would, possibly, give my right arm :open_mouth: :open_mouth: ,no, no, no left arm :wink: :wink: just to touch Michael Schumacher’s car :open_mouth: :open_mouth: so I envy you and as I posted earlier working for ES looks like a very cushy number, with decent kit, fair money, wide variety of work and possible opportunities to progress up the career ladder in the transport industry.

When you think that there are some people on here who are going out to Holland for 3 weeks at a time, just to get a bit of EU tanker exp; and from what I’ve read this isn’t even ADR work, why don’t they just stay at home and get on for ES tramping or Euro division and have less hassle :question: :question:

All the best & Regards

MO(Topgun):
well after reading all the coments on this forum,i gave into temptation and logged in,only to put the record straight on a couple of things that are or have been discused about me,first i"ll put the record straight,by the way im Mo from the tv programme,the answer is NO i havnt been suspended or sacked for drinking water while driving on tv or for hitting a bridge on M62

Mo sorry my friend but if you go out on national TV you are bound to get a bit of stick mate. Personally I enjoyed the series but …by eck lad, some of those people are hard work, I certainly couldnt work with them, and Descriptions of mobile bombs and exploding with the least spark on a diesel tanker well…enough said. But good on yer, my Mrs always gives the thumbs up to a Stobart Truck we see when out :smiley:

Ok guys, i’ve read all the posts, the comments about me being a bighead, a queer, a knob etc, its water off a ducks back. What i want to clarify is the train, “he’s stuck on the kerb, he’s hit the train” garbage. Like many of you lads on here i use the train alot over the years, when you have a camera crew filming you your whole attitude changes, i felt very uncomfortable being filmed and miked up for 36 hours. I drove onto the train and cut in a fraction early, looking in the mirror i thought christ ii’m a bit close to the kerb so i got out to make sure i had enough room, being dark a 2" gap becomes invisible, and there was no way was i gonna scrape the trailer on bloody national tv, all was well so carried on. Nerves i suppose. Good old channel five hyped it up for a bit of drama and it worked! My co driver is a bloody natural with a camera stuck in his face, i’m not!

well stuart, i’m not of any of those opinions of you. you wont remember but a few years back you gave me a good pm regarding stobbies at wakefield. i thought you and hollywood came across well and i dont see any complaints. when you are driving a rig like yours it comes with extra caution all round. ive never been on the train but have heard experianced drivers often have problems getting on it and there is plenty of scrpaes on it.

all the best mate you came across well.

If the team are ok with it then i’ll do a diary in jan, feb when i go winter testing to portugal and spain.

Hi Stuart, I would pay ‘top dollar’ for just a paint flake off ‘Schumies car’ :open_mouth: :laughing: :wink:

A diary of winter testing travels would be brilliant, hope the team let you do it :smiley: :smiley:

Hello Stuart.

Mind you, if you had been in that ERF EC14 that we had at Clarkes, it would have gone straight in. :wink:

Hope to see you soon.

Ken.

the air deflector (roof spoiler) on 1 of the trucks wasnt fastend down properly and hit 1 of the bridges. No real damage to the unit other than the deflector was smashed :blush: :blush: :blush:

does this mean Mo’s new nickname is low bridge & not top gun anymore :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

well at least the programme hasn’t tarred us all with the tired fat blokes that kill other road users & pedestrians with these dangerous overloaded trucks

To be honest mate it was going round the yard to call him Bridgit :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

PMSL! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Very good!

:unamused: :unamused: :unamused: Dunno why Alex and Ken are acting like they are. :unamused: I think your attitude stinks, frankly. Who the [zb] do you think you are ordering Hollywood out of the driving seat because you “don’t trust him” to get the truck on the train without pranging it? God ? :unamused: :unamused: It’s a pity he didn’t deck you to bring you down the few notches that you so clearly need. And it was clear from the film that you were no better yourself, and please… don’t blame the camera crew for your inadequacies :unamused: :unamused: . If Hollywood is such as [zb] driver as you made out in the film then you should be speaking to your manager to have the issue addressed instead of belittling him on film. Unbelievable. :unamused:

Please point me to my post(s) where I have ordered the second man out of the driving seat because I don’t trust him to get the truck somewhere without pranging it.

Thought not. So how about you STFU?

I have just received some intel via PM that Mr. Hollywood appears to have a history of damaging wagons, so if that is the case then an apology from myself to Stuart is in order. :blush:
