i wonder if they would have so many drivers if they still had trucks like these…

Hi

Agree :slight_smile:

They run like long distance type units, Man TGA’s (high roof),Scania Topline’s, Volvo FH12 (G) and Daf XF’S.

Never seen any like this before mate, very interesting images, any more ?

Same, but now with average speed cameras…

It has changed slightly, but it’s still a twisty a road all the way in and some points can be close, especially if a tired driver’s coming the other way. :open_mouth:
