toby come and work for me please, you will love itisnt it funny how all the ones that turn their nose up at a blinged up grunter all seem to drive [zb],axors,and are either working for stobarts,tosco,or some other brain numbing limper jobā¦
lmao yep
I donāt want anything with extra lights, chrome, colour coded ātake your boots off inside pleaseā interiorā¦Simply because I couldnāt look after it to the standard the owner would expect. I will not deliberately damage anything but I wont cry about stone chips, scratches, dirty interior etc.
I wouldnāt intentionally mess up someone elsesā cab but I will not keep it in Truckfest winning standard just because you do either.
I donāt like Scaniaās but those V8ās do sound nice.
My post is knocking Scanias, I used to own a 142 before they brought in speed limiter law,the ā ā ā in the Sawers long bonnet thought he was the dogs testicles and left his full set of lights on for half a minute so the two old sad gits stood on the motorway bridge could take numerous photos of this idiot with his cowboy hat .
As I said, rust bucket of a trailer with number plates made out of a Kelloggs cornflakes cereal box.
Craic on, give it the tang wave while wearing dealer boots and a lumber jack chequered shirt and sunglasses that cost Ā£ 1.99 from Moto .

Really? I work nor drive for any of the above but I donāt want a āloudā truck because I respect other people asleep when I set off early. I donāt āneedā extra lights because factory ones are sufficient. I especially donāt want extra chrome 
fancy paintwork because of this

I get paid to drive, deliver and collect, not pose and pout for spotters

The way I see it too ,you could buy my lorry with the interest some of these blingsters pay on the loan !
Donāt forget to do the tang wave for old git spotters that have no ā ā ā drive , for the camera, show them your dealer boots while driving .
Look at me in my wide bodied Boeing !!

Is it the time of year that farmers spread manure?
I can smell bovine excrement.
I would drive one of Burnley Siās motors in a heartbeat. Nice blinged up V8 Scanny.
GET ON!!!

Is there anything that makes you happy Toby?Perhaps a roll of carpet and a claw hammer?
Professional driver would use a ball pein hammer - better for bashing their skulls in (allegedly).
Theres nothing wrong with a blinged up truck if thats your thing. Myself i like an Eminox stack,plain ally tanks, and chrome wheel trims and thats about it. Having 8-10 spotlights, bull bars, windscreen stone guards is just going to add extra pointless weight really and just makes it a nightmare to clean ā¦especially after a week in a hot climate and covered in fliesā¦
On another note, who remembers the flag days? A big string of them across the top of the screen and lots more stuck down the sides of the screen. One particular example i remember many years ago around the london area was a Daf 3300 and the driver had plastered his screen in just about every form of sticker and suction cup crap he was literally having trouble seeing outā¦

Yeah ! My first job as a driver, 7.5ton Bedford TL, thought I was the king 
and with a larger window than the iconic TK, you could fit more flags in

Not funny, just reality that some guys just arenāt interested in bling and V8s. Each to their ownā¦
Iām generally more impressed by a clean & tidy, well kept fleet motor of the Jack Richardās ilk myself. Donāt mind a bit of chrome on the wheels (at the operators expense), but you can keep all the graphics, fairylights, spot lights, Kelsa bars & air horns etc. All a bit tacky.
The firm I work for have some nice motors, but iād be quite happy if they replaced them all with fleet-spec plain white DAF CFās if it meant a few more quid an hour.

When i got my first F10 i was 21 yrs old and worked for Jack Richards (C23 AVG) i too thought it the danglies and first thing that went on the screenā¦a suction cup āVolvo Truckerā bannerā¦ 
. ā¦
Re the T cab, why do people pay silly money, then tart up and then others go gaga over a truck that is now old hat? Itās just a normal Scania with the engine stuck out infront to appease Yank fans.

Not something Iād want to drive, but I was still very careful when loading this with topsoil this week. I donāt think Dave tang waves but I could be wrong, but Iām blinded when he flashes his lights at me.
i would load it the same way as i load every other ā ā ā ā ā ā , if your daft enough to pimp a tipper
