So keep your eyes out for a white M.A.N tga with a welsh flag in the front window, not sure which trailer i will have on the back so it could be a red flatbed or a blue tautliner or a white and green tautliner with j&j murdock wrote on it.

I learnt to drive a truck in something like this while working for SLH. They wouldnt let me have the trailer though, I was only allowed to move the tractor units around from depot to depot :(

I think this might be the actual truck looking at the state of it.

I looked into being a train driver once but no jobs were available.

I am guessing you do drive them and not just commute in one!!!

I am moving into a house very close to you very soon. I complete on June 2nd and I am moving to a vilage down the A361 south of daventry and you may see me delivering your mail in the near future!! I was going to say watch this space but your front window will be better!!!

At the risk of sounding like a total anorak, is that Reading station?

Title: My usual drive
Post by: muddyjames on May 19, 2006, 13:41:52

there is too much glass and cleanlyness about it to be Reading. I think it is Birmigham new street or Paddington.

Title: My usual drive
Post by: muddyjames on May 19, 2006, 13:42:45

also readings paltforms are Straight and not on a corner and Reading doesnt have over head power lines so that also rules out my 2 guesses!!!!

I meant birmingham international not new street. New street is under ground isnt it???!!!  :lol:
