I like this idea - perhaps accompanied by an external picture?

The geek in me is really going to come out now.

I'll take my camera to work today and get some interior shots.

You freaks.

Chaps, this was only supposed to be a temporary welcome thread.....might be worth starting another for all the great images/ comments being posted here and let this one die away?

Can I come in? I used to drive heavies years ago, held a German Klasse 2 licence and an English Class One, but have not used them for decades. Nowadays I just drive little Volvo cars!

This was the main truck I drove in Germany: 11 litre straight six N/A, six speed crash box, high and low range and a manual diff lock/FWD lever. The exhaust brake was like an old dipswitch on the floor, and great for 'indicating my presence' to dawdling drivers etc. Somewhere around I have an old tacho disk (clockwork version) with a red zigzag going most of the way around - about 18 hours worth! I wonder what the statute of limitations is for busting hours?
