You are a brave brave man Neil… Mucho respect to you… :smiley: :smiley:

Was talking to some drivers the other day about driving abroad, and I mentioned you… some of the drivers half-heartedly chuckled and said they’d been shot at a few times in bosnia or russia… :open_mouth: :open_mouth: Like it was normal… :confused: :confused: Me and this welsh driv, just looked at each other in amazement… Errrrr NO… Getting shot at was NOT in the ‘Being a trucker’ manual… :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:
