Snow Watch

[Pat]

This was in my lorry, i know it has a rear diff lock which ive tested but never used, it also has a dial for a centre diff lock which is strange as its not a 4wd.

What what type of lorry do you drive Mate.Always interested in transport.Pat

They were just natural born workers and never knew what the next day would
throw at them.I am trying to get my youngest to let me teach his kids how to
work.He thinks my era was too tough,but we worked to get ahead and enjoyed
lots of laughs and some sadness too.I admire our young friend Ben in Aussie,
now he has the bull by the horns and deserves to get ahead.
Enjoy Christmas Clive,I guess you'll be homeward bound this coming week.Pat

I admire Ben too. He lets nothing beat him, and creates his own opportunities without leaning on others to help him!

Thanks for the Christmas wishes Pat, I’m on a plane tonight, be home by lunch-time Saturday

Merry Christmas to you and your’s too mate

Dunno to 'e honest. It says MAN on it and it's crap compared to the beauty I had for years before which said DAF on it.

I know that Daf took over the Leyland trucks division when the motor industry
In the UK went mad but you can be sure the new owners used british technology.VW took over MAN and SCANIA and the yanks through PACCAR
who make Kenworth and Peterbilt also control DAF.

If anyone gets snow where you are can you post it on here please, been years since we had any in the midlands, just need to go out and play in the truck, thanks (Clive I know you get lots of snow, but Romanias a bit too far for me).

Well, feeling a bit left out of this one, I’ll post zis only once, a little run out on Christmas Day afternoon...

Could possibly be a cold spell coming along. This has been kind of been on the cards for the last few weeks.
Not quite sure if it's going to be 35's, diff locks, low range and snow chains but this guy seems to be wrong often!
