Pete you mentioned in the thread about trying the new merc on demo has this already been done and if so whats the opinion ? heard mixed verdicts from others who have had the 450 on demo

Am more confused why Ray wants a motorhome to drive he can sleep in a tin box all week and get some work done :laughing: but chooses to take the motorhome to sleep in a tin box must be bonkers but then again am sure he will be first to admit that one :laughing:

The Actros Demo was in a accident a few weeks ago, Was meant to have it delivered today !!!

Does that make me a bad person that I laughed at that? :stuck_out_tongue:

It did make me chuckle as well… Ray was chuffed as it meant he didn’t have to go to work !!!

The motorhome has 3 TV’s, 3 Double Beds, Full Size Fridge, Freezer, Kitchen, Oven, Shower, Toilet, Play Station, Satelite System, Workshop, Air Compressor, Steam Cleaner, Cost more than a 2 bed house… He spends more time in this than he does in his own bed at home. He is away every weekend in it.

The way I see it, this thread is divided into two camps, those who have admiration for Ray and Pete, and those who are jealous of Ray and Pete. I’m firmly in the former camp. Good luck to you lads

Cheers Jay. You were the 1st person to comment on this thread 12 months ago… lol

Ray has had 2 others 730’s since then and given them away to other drivers (well forced out of them by me as he only wants to work Tues/Wed/And/Thurs)

Davie Malcolm looks like another decent outfit, nice kit they have.

Yes Bought from Moody.

Davie Was a Decent Outfit. He is no more unfortunatly :cry:

Not fancying a few of his trailers at the same time?

We have got 25, that is enough to be honest…

I’d got the impression you didn’t know the meaning of that word, especially when horses are concerned :stuck_out_tongue:

That will come in handy when we load a full load of hanging horses… Oops… I mean beef :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Almost 32000 views so far. If Robson and Jerome got this many, They’d be at number 28. :laughing:

I can sing a good rendition of unchained melody, let me know if yo want to hear it !!!

Has nobody mentioned willy waving yet? Unusual that, as it’s normally the 1st thing that’s mentioned when someone has big power motors, houses, cars, motor homes etc :unamused: Fair play to the family, done well, but I’m not entirely sure everyone is interested into how many tv’s, beds and all that is contained in a motor home, and then to say it costs more than a 2 bed house, when some lads on here are doing all the hours possible to earn enough just to pay the rent etc on a 2 bed house, or those that have lost their dwelling through redundancy is in my mind, not very clever. But reading through the posts, it’s been coming for a while.

Was merely stating the fact that this motorhome was no tin shed that somebody had refered to it as…
But to be honest, I am not going to lose any sleep over your comments.

Must be some bed if you don’t lose any sleep, can you provide a picture for the fanboys? I’m imagining something like this, only the best for Daddy’s little man. :laughing:

That’s quite an upsetting picture to be honest… Kid spends his childhood sleeping in a truck then grows up to be a lorry driver… Sleeping in a truck :laughing:

Well, I know which person I trust more between Slimeyphil and Whitewhitewhite…

And it’s not Phil!

What’s the point of the twin wheeled tag though or is it double drive that you can lift the rear axle? I don’t get it, is it just for axle load weights then? Didn’t know you could spec that.

Twin wheeled tag helped to spread the weight a little better especially when on loose or tricky ground, as your giving a wider footprint.

Other than that I just think they look great, like a double drive when the axles down. To me single wheel tags look a bit out of proportion, unless a super single is used on the steer and tag axle.

Have to ad. The stability in winter conditions. It’s like night and day. Single vs Twin. As the twins follow the exactly same track as the drive wheels.
Once you driven with twin wheels you don’t want single back, there’s are reason it’s named poor mans tag.
