Just think about a circus then the bloke with big shoes getting out of his car and the wheels fall off .That’s the calibre we have but they do know their rights
Understanding anything has never been a prerequisite for our friend to assume expert status of any subject, as I’m sure you are aware.

I’ll have the middle one! 
Mine’s the Magnum.
Let me guess, it’s an ERF.
Spot on! I’ve driven the others, so I can compare them. They were good too.
EDIT. Actually, I 've just noticed that the ERF EC is LHD so it would only have had the crap ZF box in it. In that case I’ll have one of those Magnums.
Norbert had his own helicopter, he once threatened Stobart that he could under cut their rates so much by doing the job for £5 per load and still make money as the French company had so many lorries on the road.
Never driven one but would go for the F16
I remember a few English drivers who worked for them and lived in France, that job would have suited me very well as I can speak fluent French, they had a lovely life of 3 hour lunches and 4 hour evening meals and never seemed to be in a rush.

Many moons ago I had an F16 Globetrotter on demo. What a change from the rather tired 320 F10 standard sleeper I normally drove. Actually changed up gears coming from Narbonne towards Toulouse.
I know of several UK drivers who went to work for French companies, but few French who worked for the British.
A couple of GBE drivers went on for Olloquiegui as well.
Mind you I don’t think too many French drivers have 3 hr lunches today. Times have changed for us all.

The 3 hour lunches must be not happening nowadays, I would suspect the French drivers are time managed and the planner micro-manages their day like the UK companies.
The fun in France was finding a restaurant I had not been to before by going off route to a different town.
The Pegaso Troners used to break down a lot for GBE.
The Spanish drivers were very patriotic if the company gave them a Renault so they would take the name off and put Mack on the front of it.
I meant not Spanish drivers for GBE, it was Spanish drivers working for different companies.
God knows how much fuel the F16 used to drink, quite a lot.
