Go into your Profile and upload the image ( towards the bottom of the creen) I t has to be of a certain size and quality to upload. If the photo is too big you will have to modify it to make it smaller!!

Just a quick update the truck is in Chatham at the moment having the tanks,light bar, checker plating,custom brackets for M.O.P.A.C.C (it’s supposed to fit on the chassis rail but there’s no room with tanks on) & mirror guards (fitted f.o.c by tank man) .

Went down to have a look at it and to finalise the details.

Had a quick shufty inside the fridge is a bit on the small side (I may buy another)
and it has come with double bunks instead of the table & bunk set up but I’m not too fussed about that.

The positioning of the top bunk is a bit awkward so I might take it out altogether (unless anyone wants to join me )

It’s also got a film of dust protecting the metallic paint at the mo’ so I couldn’t get the full effect from it yet

but other than that it’s all hunky dory so far

Sorry Martin ,

I have enough trouble working my phone now without having one with a camera

I dont have a camera in my truck at the mo’ although I do normally in case of accidents (must put that on my to-do list)

Yeh a pic would of been cool when do you get the lorry NSH,after the Commercial Vehicle Show. Bet you cant wait.

I physically pick it up in the first week of May.

You should be able to see some pics before then as I’m led to believe it will appear in one or more of the trade mags, Not sure if it’s as a feature or an advert tho

You would want to see it as it was 'coz it was stripped from the chassis awaiting new tanks & M.O.P.A.C.C

since found out that sombody dinged the bumper pre arrival at tankman’s
