YIPPEEEEE...

My very own truck... No more sharing... I can 'Chrisie' it to death...

I know she's a bit plain at the mo, but give me time.. I'll bling it up..







Paul, jumping for joy, for me.. As you can see, compared to the white truck on the right, she doesn't really fit her parking space...


The view you get when you open the door.. !!! The floor...




ERF's aren't the most 'Gadget' filled trucks... But i've got a passenger side leccy window..

Best of all.. It's got a BED...




It's got a 4 over 4 range changer box, so you use the first 4 gears as normal, then flick a switch on the stick, and put it back into first.. which is now 5th.. etc, upto 8.. plus a crawler and TWO reverses...

AM I CHUFFED.....

I've got my first job this morning at 7am, but I'm soo excited I can't sleep...

Luv
Chrisie...

 

Congrats Chrisie!

 

Congrats Matey.

What sorta money something like that cost ???

 

I believe they paid about 10K for it.. On a T plate but with low miles.. Just had brand new curtains fitted this afternoon too...

Now i've gotta get the mp3 player, LCD telly, and microwave fitted... Not forgetting 5 or 6 roof lights, a red rope light with 2 blue leds (or "Ragtop" in blue LED's) amd numurous amber running lights thrown at it...

I have always behaved myself with the car, and had 'street sleepers', but NOW... !!!!

BLING ME UP BABY...


Luv
Chrisie...

 

go for it!!!

I reckon two tone!!

 

cool truck
the bigger the better i say

 

enjoy !!!

 

Aww bless ya! Ive got a mate whose got a lorry, he loves it.

Get some nice lights on her

 

Something to do with stopping at security boxes/gate houses etc...to save you from having to lean over to work the window manually on the other side of the cab....the vast majority of trucks have a passenger side electric window as standard unless it's a well specced up truck....

Saw a fit female truck driver on Thursday afternoon on Leicester Forest East services filling up with fuel...

 

Have fun with it lady! It's been bloody long enough for you to get here - chuffed for ya

How long before you convert it to EFi turbo then...?

/Munk

 

Keep on truckin' Chrissie

 

You remind me of Long Distance Clara from Pigeon Street when i was a kiddy!!

Congrats, it looks wicked! I got my HGV 2 in a few weeks!

 

breaker breaker.....a big 10 4 trucker chrisie

 

Well my first day out in her went summut like this....

Load up at Shepshed..


Loaded up with about 8 tonnes of paper..


Time for a break... Jump in the back for a quick lie down on the bed..



If you close the curtains, it feels like a tiny caravan..


At the drop.. off loading..


Back at the yard.. Time for some 'David Bailey' shots...



GGRRrrrrr Big truck...






Spent a couple of hours this evening cleaning the cab out properly.. Mat's and carpets out, pan and brush, duster... I NEVER thought trucking would domesticate me..


Luv
Chrisie...

 

Nice boots Chrissie! Very attractive!

 

wicked, you got a CB Breaker breaker whats your handle (whilst hummin convoy)

 

oh my god , a wanky....

what we at Asda called our V plate ERF's.

horrible things Chrissie

how you finding it?


53 plate 420 'red dot' Scannys much better

 

aint a bad truck the erf, my old man had a ec14 for years, done over 650.000
miles in it, had a few drives in it myself but FAR TO MANYfookin gears 4 me

 

cant fault that, the ASDA ones went well past million miles, no matter how hard we tried to kill em

 

nice one rubber duck

 

Scania's will pass anything but a workshop from my experience though...

I like the way the interior lamps wear the paint off the roof inside and then short to earth!

We maintain a few and they are always in for repairs. These are a few years old now though so the newer ones might be better.

 

We,ve just got 20 new daf CF units last week and they are W@nk to say the least
Noisy as fook!! what they,ll be like in a few yr i don,t know!!

 

I know she's basic... or 'utilitarian' as I like to call it... but i've heard that if you treat them well, they'll last forever..

The 7.5 tonners are far better specced, with leccy everything, cruise, trip computers, etc... BUT.... This one has got 9 forward gears and 2 reverses, so i'm as happy as a proverbial pig... AND it's just mine...
That's not to say I wouldn't jump at the chance of a topliner or FH (scania or volvo).. They are

My only complaints are the ashtray is in a useless position, and I want to move the hazard's switch to t'other side of dash, but other than that... I'M HOME.... I've found my true vacation...


Luv
Chrisie...

 

I have never seen someone so enthusiastic about driving a truck for a living!!

 

And whod a thunked that you were sat behind a desk a few months ago



Fooking quality Chrisie

 

always found the erf gearboxes to go fooked in a short space


but do love the scanias 144 450 is the bollox to me !!

also like the volvo globetrotter and the daf super space xf !!

 

scanias n volvos rule! kings of the road

 

Frightening innit...

It'll be 1 year since I left my job as a programmer, in 3 days time...

Guess that means i'm a proper boni-fidie HGV Driver now..


Luv
Chrisie...
