It's Been A Funny Old Week

First time driving a Scania… where is the switch for the light at the back of the cab :confused:
First time driving a manual Class 1; 4 over 4 gear box, yeh my training vehicle set up came in handy lol, it was easy enough to get back into the swing of things, like riding a bike - well maybe not lol.
Turned up for a Class 1 shift and got allocated a rigid, it was funny getting back into a ‘puddle jumper’ again but I enjoyed it, felt like I could chuck it about a bit lol - no bum warmer though!!!
First time with a ‘knock through’ gear box - sorry don’t know the correct terminology to describe this type of gear box.
Still loving it!! :smiley:

Wouldn’t mind having another go in a Merc Axor I drove not long after I passed. Great it was, loved the knock over gearbox. Kinda miss a manual sometimes.

It was a Merc but I am not sure what model it was. I felt like a proper trucker in the Class 1 manual - don’t know why it made me feel that way, maybe because it brought back memories of an old mate of mine Dad’s truck when I was a teenager back in the 80s. :smiley:

rear cab light on Scania is beside the fog light switches , it looks like a fog light switch, try them all and you will find it no probs

Not to be confused with the ’ combover '.

Which is Beezle’s hairstyle of choice.

And that’s just on his arse!

Very true Nick. The thing with Beezle though, is his party trick.

If you turn him upside down, he still looks the same.

That’s the benefit of having arse hair and head hair the same. And he often talks out of his arse too, so it’s nigh on impossible to tell which way is up.

I’d ask how you know this but I really don’t want to know the answer!!

Had to turn him upside down to shake some coins out of his pocket. Wouldn’t buy me a brew the tight fisted southern sod.

Tighter than a fishes arse hole that man is.
