Title: Brecon to Immingham..4.5 hours?
Post by: Amigo on 08 March 2011, 20:50:53
Sadly not quite but i had a go! Parked up @ Leicester lastnight, onto Brecon this morning. Got loaded & left @ 12:30 hrs. A40 Abergavenny., Monmouth, Ross (passed the Newent exit), M50, M5, M42, M6, M69, M1 then A46 Leicester, Newark, Lincoln, A15 & the 4.5 hrs were up just short of SLady bitshorpe so had to wait 45 mins to finish a 20 minute journey!!!!!!


   I REALLY wanted to carry on, at least i'm paid hourly! ::)

Easy, pull the fuse. Sadly all trucks are designed so that if you do you lose brake lights/indicaters at the same time so it's a no go!!! :y

I hold a digi card but still running paper charts for as long as i can. Globetrotter/Premium?  no contest, running the Gobstopper for as long as i can or until my gaffer kicks me out of it, fits tipping gear & puts it on the dock pulling coal which will kill it. V reg & HUGE miles but i love it. I don't want a new autobox Renault but that's what he's doing! :(

If BMW did trucks, would anyone notice? :)
