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!

O2 for V8
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!!

More German Snow
WIL 2218 was parked up near Gummersbach, Germany for the weekend where it hasn’t really stopped snowing. It seems Germany has had quite a lot in the last week or so, a lot more than we had here any way!

Ger-MAN (Sorry thats bad!)
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

Orse Box!
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.





ARMY MAN
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!”
The Chick Liner
I overtook this little thing on my way home yesterday. Very plain but very smart. The driver probably has the best job in the world, delivering Dutch chicks all over europe….. Just imagine!

A MAN in Norway
Another of Steve Marsh’s exotic destinations. A trip to Norway last winter. You got to love a Tonka toy where ever it is! Email office@stevemarshexpress.co.uk for all your European Express needs.

Noordwijk, NL on Google Street View
It is amazing what is on Google Street View. I was reliving my trip to Assen and back and stumbled upon this nice little scene. One of Heros own, a VSB 143 and what looks like a Fleurs V.D. Eijkel tractor unit n the door. Correct me if i’m wrong! ben@truckblog.co.uk
W200 HCW in Zadar
This was taken in Zadar, Croatia on the 19th Dec. Weekended while waiting to clear customs. The load was destined for a little island just off the coast of Zadar called Ugljan Island. TIR and ATA carnets used. Wilsons are doing a second load for delivery on the 31st Dec.
