Good spot today in an Italian port Heading for Greece. Iranian registered 6×4 International with Step-frame trailer. Nice to see a touch of the East, well done NLG! Keep em coming.
Heading Home from Crowfield. Some good pictures taken by the wife including this one, a nice slightly atmospheric shot at the end of a good weekend, just a shame no one wanted to give us a trophy!! We’ll be back
I think this lot deserve a mention. I predicted to the wife when this lot arrived that they would win a few trophies including Best Fleet………………….. If only i was a betting man i wouldn’t be going to work tomorrow. Well done Hewicks, worthy winners i think.
A little tribute to the legendary V8’s 40th birthday.
1, 2, 3 and 4 series V8’s all lined up next to each other. If we had thought about it we should have lined them up in order……….. nevermind. They all still look good.
For all of you in East Anglia or further afeild, with nothing to do this bank holiday weekend, why not come to The Orwell Crossing Truckstop on the A14 on Sunday. A top class 1 day show of about 120 odd trucks from East Anglis finest. Easy to find on the Eastbound A14 at Ipswich just past the Ransomes europark junction. It’ll be a good day judging by the weather forecast, socome along!!
The Roving Report sent me these pictures from Lanzarotte. Lovely Mercedes still in use at the airport. Beautifull condition, probably low low mileage. Doesn’t even look like its a bump of any kind. Good spot DS!
For all those who didn’t hang around on the Monday afternoon to find out who won the silverware, here are the official Truckfest results, thanks to Susie McPherson at Live promotions.

I know many of you old Scania die-hards would have loved to have had a new one of these, then or even now!
I have on-board a new roving reporter. He is based in the Middle-East with a slight lean towards the aviation side of life. He has promised to keep sending me pictures of road based vehicles that he stumbles across when on terra-firma. To start with he has sent this text picture of his latest “truck” having a drink! The other one looks like a fairly new Actros tanker.
