  1. Well i was trucking along in the mighty actros on the M60 at manchester and came to a stop in traffic after a few minutes went to set off and thought i had the truck in neutral but nope it was in gear aaahhh bollox i thought no drive to axles so after causing a 3mile tailback on manchesters busiest motorway i was hitched up to a wrecker and dragged to lymm truckstop so my boss has a big bill coming and a bill from highways england as their plastic policemen shut the lane £350 bloody hell

  2. Well im getting old with you bruv cos middle lane hoggers give me a serious case of tourettes at times.at least learners will have a bit more respect and knowledge of motorways and how to enter and exit them so many times me and the mighty actros have had brown trouser moments when cars just drift onto the motorway without indicators or building up speed so in my opinion its a good thing roll on the zimmer frame and mushed up food :lol:

  3. A little phone call from the crew at scoobyworld telling me THE REXs  bonnet cable has been sorted :bf: so ive treated the old girl to a oil and filter change so hopefully no more bonnet issues mmmmm now do i invest in a carbon bonnet as i know a man with some aero bonnet catches gathering dust in a cupboard :rofl:

  4. After a couple of hours tinkering this afternoon the new stereo with sat nav is all plumbed in and working and i must say im impressed as the standard stereo that was in THE REX looked like it belonged in the 80s just gotta route the cable for the microphone through the dash for the hands free option but im chuffed for now :P:P

  5. Well as we had a long bank holiday weekend i thought i would spend some time with my gorgous son so after brekkie we hit the road in THE REX and ended up at east mids airport had a mooch round the donnigton collection and had lunch in the VERY pricey cafe so hit the road again to the other side of the airport and spent a few hours clambering in and out of several aircraft incuding the vulcan and the nimrod and other fighter jets all in all a cracking day until rain stopped play is anyone else sick of the rain :icon_butt:

  6. Its booked in on the 8th of this month at scoobyworld to let them work their magic ive been told by them its a front bumper off job to sort it at least if they break owt while doing it they can fix it lol :rofl: instead of me throwing spanners about and having a case of tourettes

  7. Thanks don and i have another question i bought a upgraded stereo with sat nav for THE REX on removing the standard one i noticed its held in with four screws ive got the facia for the dash but do i need a adapter to screw into the place where the standard one fits as the snatch plate seems to have no way of screwing to the mounting holes any help much appreciated:)
