You may well have seen it already James, but Benton Brothers of Lincolnshire have a new Actros on fleet.
yes

They've acquired 4-5 MP4s I think. They look stunning in their livery too! Would live a winning shot of one, hope I don't have to wait too long as they are quite common up and down the section of the A1 I watch smile

Speaking of MP4s... I saw what I think is the nicest looking one I've yet seen the other day! -



Chiltern Cold Storages newest GSC unit finished in their alternate dark blue livery! Spot on IMO! smokin

FMC seen perching on his box at around 15:15 - gave you a toot. Did you get a soaking? Some beefy looking clouds on my way home!

Wotcher Tony, I thought that was you in the Saab funny enough lol!

There were a few spots a little earlier, but nothing much came of those big black clouds. Think the weathermen have been over exaggerating again!

Very observant lol! biggrin

Good sesh done today, warming up for Truckfest! I'll be there for the day on Sunday. Should be pretty damn epic I imagine considering how promising the weather looks and by the quality of some of the attendees already there!

Ive not checked this thread for a while, lots of good spots! smile

We've got a new daily trunk to Glasgow, so far had about 3 different units in and they all look really good.
I'll try to get pics of the others when I see them again

Ahh nice one! No worries at all, looked a tidy bit of kit that excavator smile

Truck was pretty special too, think its unique in being the only RHD yank spec Volvo NH in these isles! cool

Thought I recognised the location, glad you liked my Flickr link. Was a top day out and another great Fest this year, however I still ended up missing some stuff I wanted very much to see. Need more than a 7hr session to get around that show its so vast!...

Yeah,the Oilseed Rape has really ripened up now its had some prolonged sunshine and a bit of rain. My hayfever has gone into overdrive, especially with Sharmans field next to where I stand in full bloom now!... yuck

The orange TGS that was parked up outside the water tower?... Yes I did if so. Looked quite smart, but nothing to write home about in the big scheme of things.

Few other good bits and bobs on the road, but it was a bit quiet today on the whole I thought... tumbleweed

wavey

Noticed you'd reversed your route today, doing a bit of a tour I see!

Was out for quite a while today (my gran was having a new stair lift fitted at home at the time) and managed to catch a number of good things. 3x Gallen Scanias from Co.Kildare, a neat 13 plate MP4 Merc with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes insignia, a couple of customised horse boxes among other things stand out smile

I didn't beat the rain unfortunately, was rather sudden!... yikes
