FH12 thread

still in every day use

123 037.PNGthis was my first truck when i passed my test had it about a year it was only about a year old when i got it god i was king of the road lol

My dad had M333TJW for a few years when working for Matthews, it was originally one of TJ Wyatts and was still signwritten for them. Matthews had a few units like that and they were running round for years before they were repainted.

Whilst driving an F16 i was told id got to drive this for a bit, (while my brand new FH was being painted)

then eventually my motor turned up (whilst i was on my way to Portugal from Italy) so the fitter did a couple of trips to Germany in it. Anyway, i eventually moved into N18 PWT a 420 CD trim


i went mainly to Germany in her but also did quite a bit of France, some Swiss, Portugal and Spain. A nice motor all in all.

My next FH was when i was working for a Swedish firm, the motor i had was one of the test trucks Volvo used when they were testing the FH before launch, ive lost my photos of that motor, but i did get a brand new one to replace it when it went, a 380 CDtrim, it pulled like a train, far better than the previous motors (420) i’d had did.

i think my next FH was with this shower. I was there just long enough to put the shine back into the alloy wheels. Avery good pulling motor, 500bhp, with the office pack interior. The last time i saw this motor it was on Romanian plates (or Bulgarian) and was a wreck.

the next FH was this, ex Gwynedd Shipping 420bhp, uprated to 460 by Volvo, not a bad motor, pulled well. Again the alloys were a mess when i got it :frowning: and when the boss started putting an idiot in it at weekends, i slowly lost the a few mirror casings :imp:

After that job i went (and am still at :blush:) to DHL, luckily i havent had a yellow motor yet, my first one was this, a 440bhp

then last year they gave me a new 460 XL, this is probably the most underpowered of all the FH’S ive driven, its on a 2 yr lease, so ive got it for another year.

heres a few more
