He claims to own a FH16-700 that he bought last year. Amongst other things.
The problem is, Volvo hasn’t made one since at least 2014.

What’s so special about this ‘mythical’ 700 brake Volvo AndrewG drives… or doesn’t?
Nothing particularly ‘special’ as such about it mate, its just a 2017 MY FH16 just bought it for the particular run we do (mainly) each week. Its the same as the 750 version but has a reprogrammed ECU which doesnt restrict torque in the lower 6 gears as the higher powered version does. As for driving it, i dont, my missus is at the moment as deemed not fit to drive…
I saw the bloke from pennine stone who had the Man wag-drag built to spec on TV local news
Then again 2 days later parked round Kettering curtains open hope it was him messing with his load?

I had brekkie with Robroy last Sat.Offered to pay for it twice and he politely refused. I was going to insist for a third time, but then realised he would probably accept this time. So I didn’t.
Ate the mans food, listened to his polite chit chat for an acceptable 2 minutes or so, then ■■■■■■ off sharpish!

2 minutes…Christ was I THAT boring?
And you looked totally engrossed when I was explaining the ins and outs of an Eaton twin splitter.
No pleasing some people.

Yeah that was me!!! I dropped the drag with a drop for Kettering then went off to do 7 drops round Kent etc. I picked the drag up Friday morning and did Kettering on the way home.
There’s the proof I exists anyway at last [emoji23]

Did u drop it at Cheltenham the other week near Sainsbury’s with the nearsude curtain open ?
Probably seen a few off TN - it’s just I wouldn’t know who they are !
Don’t exactly go into RDCs and shout who’s on TN then ! I’d get swamped by all the ex SAS wanting to tell about their Hovis days… “When I were a lad…”

I nipped over the road to Stobart’s to get it’s Joe, but he was busy bouncing heads so I left him to it…
I thought we could have had a quick game of human tennis with him
