View from your cab, or outside it

[ZR1cliff]

Anyone got any interesting photos from your travels/jobs?

Earlier this week I went to Wembley to pick up some Olympic security equipment.



At the crossing, a week or two ago.

I miss having 3 windscreen wipers, feel like I am in a glorified van when just 2 swipe across the windscreen

It just reminds me I'm not in a mega mileage DAF.

You should know what this is, sitting down at Tilbury docks for as long as I can remember..

See that on the way in, isn't it Radio Caroline?

[ZR1cliff]

Was in Purfleet picking up a fridge today and went round the top of row A. All around were old lorries with other lorries, cars, engines, etc piled on top.

Are these heading for Africa too?

CDMR? Been ages since I've been in there, but dont know of anyone doing stuff like that in there. It's a possibility but it would be a recent development and I thought that they were struggling for space there since they moved everything over from crossways end.

Are they still doing bricks from the start of the lanes? Took ages for them to blag that corner so that we could use the other exit gate there

Yes, CdMR. Not sure about bricks, I only drop on to containers when our other contract goes slack. Although I took an empty container back from our yard recently and was told to go to the 'brick yard' at the top of the site.

I see crossways, from the bridge, is being used again for new cars?

I saw a rather tidy E46 sat on the 5th wheel of a tractor unit at Tilbury a few years ago. Presumably retiring to warmer climes.

This was in Purfleet today. More stuff heading for Africa, but looks more like scrap.

[ZR1cliff]

Went in the workshop to get some oil, to top my unit up, in the early hours. Saw this on one side - now that's what I call a cam.

You've lost me. Or maybe I've had too many Magners

The big fooking air horn hanging above the wheel

With you know, never noticed it The bloke who drives that volvo has customised it to within an inch of its life.

[ZR1cliff]

And not a barrier in sight!

[ZR1cliff]

Coming back to the right side of the Thames tonight, I spotted a Vauxhall Victor in the other lane and awaited my chance of a snap. When stopped I got a shot of the Victor and didn't realise there was a 1600E cortina alongside it. A coincidence shot?

Just dropping off a fridge at Tilbury's inner dock.

I'm envious Humper. Meanwhile back in my world, more great scenery

[ZR1cliff]

This was a few months back, a truck next to me outside a Dis Centre in North London. Four chaps being removed from economy class.

For every heaven, there's got to be a hell.

Last Friday, about a mile back from the Blackwall tunnel southbound.
