shuttlespanker:
the only think in mine is a table, it has got the stainless filled in centre ■■■■■ trims on it, no frilly curtains, no pelmet, no name platesit does have stainless lightbars on the font too
See what we mean, candlesticks around the font, God, what next? 
Prayer mats perhaps
Ribbons hanging from the mirrors. . . oh and can holders fixed to the mirror arms.
i know a guy who has all the forementioned crap on his truck, complete with furry clogs on himself. gets a pull by the gendarmerie about once a week compared to a couple of times a year for the rest of the 50 trucks working the same route 
Just thought of another, not so much tacky as bloody annoying; steering wheel knobs. Steering’s so easy on today’s trucks that they’re totally unnecessasry.
I hate the ■■■■ things, probably cos I’m left-handed and chances are they’re always set up for right-handed drivers so I end up getting my wrists and elbows bashed. They wreck modern steering wheels too.
If I was ever given a lorry with one fitted, it went straight to the garage to have it removed.
Leave them on fork lifts where they belong. 
i made a fortune from drivers at our place making truck tables for them.
one lad started it off by buying one from the truck stop £90 he paid for it.
when he parked up at night in the yard and went home i stripped it down and copied it and made them at £45 a pop
So I said to this driver whats that in your windscreen he said…Its a dream catcher…so i said …Does it work…he said…No…so i said… `WTF do you want it in your window for then…ha ha
On reflection, when i was younger and doing the rounds i did have…orange lights on the front, stickers across the side glass windows, hanging country flags ( cloth )…plus the plastic triangle ones, red lights inside the cab, a purple anti glare light a top tank, a side locker ( for food ) a c.b. a cassette player ( after i took out the eight track ) a real ( bomb cooker ) a coffee makerm roof air horns,a michelin man, pirelli man, and any kind of tack i could get my hands on too numerous to mention except the fact i was always overweight
and the older you get, the more tackier they looked, and now i cant stand them.
colouring in letters on the side of tires with those white paint pens…tacky

That might be the case with me; I once had an N reg Foden 3275 6w with England flag in the cab, “Nathan” numberplate in the windscreen, chrome “ladies” on the grille, a ■■■■■■■ Power badge, and it was named “Sandstorm” 
A music track from my days out in Oxfords naff clubs
fake walnut dashes, ‘stainless steel’ add ons , fake alloy wheel trims , velvet tasselled curtains ,side window emblems , [zb] stuck on the windsreen oh & airbrushed paintwork,…people who have all this [zb], aren’t you embarressed ? We’ve already got a seriously bad image- all this does is reinforce the notion that we’re all complete richardheads 
My employer has the fake walnut dashboards fitted, yet wouldn’t pay for the Foden Alphas to have aircon. What does one cost in a CF? Hadley airhorns are a must have, apparently this is part of the deal. Mine doesn’t have them though as apparently when mine was ordered a different salesperson dealt with it; I was told after it arrived that if I bought them the firm would fit them…

So basically you bunch off sad gits prefer plain white cabs. Have you never heard of live and let live ■■Its up to the individual driver what he puts on his lorry ffs. If its not hurting you and not cost YOU any money
keep ya [zb] nose out
What crap have you got
Muckaway:
curtains in day cabs…
Hiya…muckaway your very lucky. i did 14years of distance work having nights out before i got a sleeper cab.
at least having curtains in a DAY cab was luxury. possibly not furie,tasserly, nobberly,or lacey just a peice of
bed sheet or even 4 bits of cardboard.

Drivers who fill the inside of the cab with at least half a dozen air fresheners so within 5 minutes of sitting in it you get a splitting headache and smell like a tolet duck when you get home.

Did doing that actually keep mirrors clean, back in the day?

Lads, you’ve touched a nerve here…
Definitely got his frilly curtains in a twist here…
I don’t get the “no pride in your job” bs when you laugh at some of the stuff in cabs; Do office staff buy the Mr Sheen for their desk, put “trim” around the drawers etc?

your getting boring now…
I think there’s a fine line between a tastefully done truck, and one that’s smacked head onto in a kelsa display. Personally I’m a fan of a carefully done one, extra light bar ect… but go ott and you understand why they are towing reefers with 620 Scanias, by the time the alternators had it’s share the power levels probably about right
End of the day, your own truck your own rules, and if your happy, does anyone else’s view matter?

Got to agree there
There’s one lad at our place and his truck looks like he ram raided Roadking with his wagon covered in super glue. It really does look bad
