Hello. It's been a while. New truck too.

I've not been on for ages. I renewed my membership last month...Â…..

I've been busy doing other stuff.

Anyway, it's time to introduce my new truck, a 2.7, 2003, most of the SH with 105000 miles.
Though the most important thing to mention is it's spent over half of it's life in Spain & so the underside is extremely good

I should say Ron (new one) as she's called

is the one on the right

Hi stranger, great to see you back. Funnily enough I was thinking about you this weekend, was driving along that road where my mrs had the accident.
Looks like you still have Clives old motor too, both looking great

Hey Jim. Hope you're well? How is the Mrs now?

It's been a while since I drove that road (10 months or more).

I don't drive for the company anymore. I guess Clive hasn't mentioned...… It turns out I have arthritis of the spine & sitting for hours in a HGV doesn't do me any favours, but as it happens neither does standing or walking for a variable time period

I only work part time now so 08.00-12.00 every day is me.

People say "lucky you", I say I'll swap you your hours for my pain, they soon shut up

Clive's old truck will be up for sale in a while, he's mentioned buying it back.
I must admit I do love the colour, but as with all these vehicles the tin worm has started to take hold underneath (hence the new one). I did treat it to a treatment of Dynax S50 when I first got her, but the inevitable was always gonna be.
The new one has been treated from a very early age & I couldn't believe how good Ron is

The ironic thing is I used to be a steel fabricator & welding the underneath wouldn't have been a problem before my problem
