I think i am being sent a secret message by the MAN man! It seems all roads at the moment lead to a little fella some where in Europe. I was trying to work out the shortest route to Hassleholm, Sweden from Esbjerg. Seeing as it is unlikely at the moment i’ll ever get to drive in Denmark, again i thought i’d enjoy the delights of Google Street View and see what it’d be like to drive across the sea between the Danish Islands. I place myself on the map and Bingo!! All the miles of road over the sea and i land 8ft from the front of another little Ger-MAN. I’m going to have to start a fan club for them or some thing! The boss keeps on about the company getting a new 7.5 Tonner tilt so we can have a flat or a little covered beast, this is my solution, GW you know it makes sense!

Rumour has it that image concious boss Graham Wilson has penciled a deal with company communications supplier, O2, to re-paint one of the company trucks with a joint O2 and England Rugby livery if England win this years 6 Nations Tourament. So could we see this truck with a new wrap in a few weeks, fingers crossed!!

Steve Marsh had a snowy week last week (as did many others i’m sure). He travelled down and tipped in Altstatten in Switzerland, then came back up to Essen, Germany to reload for Edinburgh. This picture was taken at Rasthof-Aichen on the A8 near Ulm, waiting to find the reload. Keep the pics coming Steve they are definatly getting better! www.stevemarshexpress.co.uk

How can you dirty this with muddy hooves and horse poo! These top notch horse boxes seem to be fitted out like luxary yachts. Probably one of the best second hand boxes you’ll find made by one of if not the best manufacturer, Oakley. For a cool £239,000 + VAT you could own this  2007 Volvo FH, 400hp, comes with all the mod cons and probably a good swap for your house!! To try and find some thing more in your budget go to www.oakleyhorseboxes.com or click here for the full details of this one.

After endless years of the M.O.D. trying all types of safety and preventitive equipment on all types of vehicles, it seems they have settled on fitting heavy duty mesh around their vehicles, in  the hope it’ll save the crew’s from explosions and other flying objects!! Good luck to who ever tested it out. “You sit in the cab and we’ll launch everything towards you and hopefully the steel mesh will do its job!”
