    Starting Sept, maybe sooner, dependent on when my brother in law retires.

    I have spent the last couple of weeks back up in the cab, mainly driving,
    It did not take as long as I expected to remember that I have got a 40'
    trailor behind me.

    Apart from bikes I have only driven a car on one occasion in the last three
    and a half years, I felt sorry for my brother in law, riding shotgun the
    first time I jumped behind the wheel.

    I almost took the side of a building out once. I forgot we switched
    trailers from a 25' to a 40' till I felt the tractor shudder and looked
    in the mirror.

    Take it easy though, one Volvo a day until you are used to it again.

    It feels so good to be back behind the wheel that even some of the stupid
    prats in cages cannot wind me up.

    Pulls well, lots of bottom end grunt.

    It is faster when fully loaded, you gain more on the downhill than you
    loose on the inclines.

    I like 'em. Nice and solid. Not as fast as some others, but more
    relaxed feel about them. Good to live in, too.
    Where is Dr. Giles, these days?
