I would like to drive a truck, you get man points for it.

^^^ Mugs game, I would rather sweep the streets now than go back to driving them


I started off with a Commer 6 cylinder in my late teens, then BMC 550FG, Bedford TK, Ford Cargo, Leyland Road Runner (mental truck capable of warp speed) then onto Scania 111, Scania 112, Scania 142, Scania 113 and finally Scania 143

The best was the 142, no speed restrictions and capable of running up 3 figures on the speedo
