To be politicly correct, it would get the funny [**] bit put in place of the word, but very good kit to work with, Left & right hand drive motors, about 40 in the blue colour as shown here, 4 in Claas colours (based at Saxham A14), 2 in Simba based at Sleaford, HQ at Crownthorpe… hard work… pushed all the time as Satelite tracking in cabs, run better time tables than any bus company . very varied loads, but normally JCB’s out, & whatever back to UK, some drivers are away 12 wks, but I just do casual for them, so when I get the Hump, or Rock n Roll work comes in I go. thats why I can Smile about… Facilites in HQ very good, all concrete yard, with same for your cars, no mud / dust / puddles…
2 truck wash bays, 1 with automatic machine, you still have to point the gun though, it’s just like a car jet wash, the other same sort of thing, just seperate soap gun & Jet wash gun, good lad’s the other drivers, & about 4 Pole’s but you might not see anyone for a while ( can be wks ) as your always on the go, not like some of these driving jobs as described on this forum, some have never lived… you have to load the machines yourself, then sort “em” drive then, tip yourself… then once the CMR is signed, off you go like the clappers to the next port of call… but no drama for me as since i was 17, worked like this, shame RED BULL wasn’t around then… Money… now thats a thing… should be a lot…I say A LOT better than is, but hey due to an EEC rulling they have only just stopped putting “spud’s” in your wage pkt up here… know wot i’m saying…Christ this will stir the nest a bit…any way they are always looking for Drivers…if you think your hard enough… no posing in Truck stops with your shade’s on & arm out “T” window on ere… I will post some pics now… sorry about the duplicate drawbar,…cocked it up come’s top mind…

Dont quite know wot happened … I will look on a disc for that, but the story behind that is While in Indianapolis, one of Bernies " mates" runs the trucking co that brings in all the Freight for us all ( Teams, Paddock Club, Hospitality )
I am the one holding the mirror on ( joke )…Its a Peterbuilt, & thats all i know about it…the load is part of our TV Village / compound we built & set up at every circuit around the world…called “Bakersville” after Eddie Baker, who ran FOM for Mr Bernie… it was like something out of ThunderBirds with the kit it held in each “POD”…like the Camera’s, Qaud bikes, Supacats ( remember the Banana Bunch 6 wheel buggys ) & various other bits & pieces…
The Merc Actros line up, we had to do that at every European circuit, and no we didn’t have to do them in reg order, we had F1 plates on velcro…but they got lifted sometimes…do ya wana buy one… only jokin…, that pic if i rememeber rightly was Magny Cors…spelt something like that…

Excellent pics - not sure how I would manage with an A frame drawbar.

I was wondering what the conventional was in the other thread you posted, i should have read this first, a Pete! nice one!
