Forget Horse Power try Cow Power
I know as much as you lot! I have no idea whats going on apart from Cow power seems to be the new horse power!! I think it must be compfier in the cab rather than sitting in the engine bay!
Lovely 143
Great video this, if you are a fan of the V8 that is. I particularly like the bit at 2.22 mins, great idea that!!
Nice. Lopik Show NL
I like this one very smart, deep visor looks good. This was taken at the Nog Harder show at Lopik in Holland. A small show that is always the weekend after Assen. Only 150 trucks but all trucks are tip-top! Photos courtesy of v8power.nl, visit the site for everything dutch V8
What can you say to that?!?!?
I dont know what this is, but i like the picture! Perhaps she’s the best looking lady driver or perhaps she’s a Scania saleswoman, perhaps in what ever country that is she comes free with the truck!! Any ideas then email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk, think of it as an upmarket Well Boss……….
Scania Beers
After a lovely overnight stay at De Lichtermans Routier, we popped back down the road a mile or 2 to try and get the trucks washed at Scania Beers just north of Zwolle. But due to a large que of trucks in desperate need of washing we were declined, although they did tell us of a coach wash near by that we went to and got a wash down.
Tekno Tekno Tekno
After arriving in Rotterdam we went round to the Tekno model factory for a nose about there little shop/museam. Officially it is only open to the public on Saturdays but we were welcomed as we hadf come from England and they liked our “cars” so much. If you have some time on your hands it is worth a visit. They have 1 of every model they have ever produced on the shelves and a new country by country museam just being built upstairs which we were given a sneak preview of.
Ready for the off
Lashed and chocked, UJN, EGV and Mr Cribbins also of HC WIlson fame in WU02 and NB28 ready to depart the UK.
Rubber to the Ready
Note the rubber mats so we didn’t scratch the paint work! Although we did need a piece the size of the chassis as the young asian deck hand was about to put a chain over the chassis as there were no rear lashing points………..i pointed out that chocks under the wheels were enough!!
The Start
So this is where the road trip started. Norfolkline terminal at Felixstowe. Waiting to board the 0800 sailing last Thursday to Vlaardingen. It was a dry morning for a change so we got to Felixstowe without getting dirty, although we had already had the cab up on EGV to prime the fuel pump when we left Elmswell, but hey ho, it didn’t need doing for the rest of the trip.
