Yep, I stole the idea.
I was going to wait and possibly involve 4T in this, but as I only get online at weekends, and given that I'm an impatient bugger at times; I'm going to go ahead with it now.
As some of you know, I’ve recently returned to tramping. For those that don’t understand; that means I go to work on (usually) Monday morning and come home (hopefully) on Friday. Effectively “living†in the truck all week. I gave up on European work years ago and now spend all my time in the UK.
As an example, in the last fortnight I’ve tipped tipped/loaded at Maidstone, Witham (Essex), Kettering, Caythorpe (Lincs) Cirencester, Lydney (Glos) Liverpool, Dewsbury, Peterlee, Bury St Edmunds, Park Royal (London NW10) Wisbech (Cambs) and Erith.
I’ve covered 4839km, had two SH shower stops :grin:, one driveby night at home with HLB had one impromtu layby visit and visited her once in her Hotel while she’s been working away
So it could be said that I “get about a bit†:grin:
So . . . . . . . . . . .
How do you spot dammie and win a prize ????????
What is the prize ???????
In my profile there will be pictures of the three liveries my firm has. I could be driving any of them, but HLB will tell you each week, which livery I’m in. (She might even update you all from the info she has on her “dammiemap†in Autoroute where as she tracks and traces me through the week :shock: ) It will be a Vovlo Globetrotter, a Mercedes Actros Megacab, or an M.A.N tga XXL, in any of the liveries. The colour of the box I’m pulling can change daily, but is usually mustard coloured.
In the windscreen at the driver's side and on the back underrun bar of the trailer will be this sign with my old original elephant avatar.
Extra bonus points can be awarded if you can tell me the scrolling message in the windscreen.
Attracting my attention is a must. (by horn or lights, or even saying hello if I’m parked up)
Texting me, or calling me (number available midweek from HLB by PM) PMing HLB with the details – that day will give you a confirmed sighting and win you the prize.
(Please, please – be aware of your own safety and the law)
If you can’t call or text at the time, you must do it that day/evening and tell me, PM HLB , or post in the thread which road I was on, the make and colour of your car and an approximate time.
Unfortunately, I think it’s only fair that if I’m at yours for a pre-arranged shower/cakeybun stop, you would be disqualified for that day.
The prize ??????
I have a couple of ideas, but haven't quite decided, so . . . . .
Suggestions welcomed
The main prize may be exchanged for a portion of daimmecock :grin: (well . . . . I’ve gotta try )
Any interest ?
