Press Truck

Wanted to get a bit of training in at driving an artic before the FH16 tour (where everybody would be watching) so me and Johan (well just Johan actually) managed to borrow this brand new FH16 Press fleet truck. I managed to take a few people out in it from the studio, including Yeom and Klara...although I am sure Yeom was sure that I could nt actually drive it!! Me and Johan then took it on a 300Km round trip, where we concluded we didnt actually like the handling...although it was very windy to be fair. I also managed to practice a bit of blind side reversing in a huge empty yard where nobody was looking. I id fine, but was glad I got a shot at it out of prying eyes first though. We also managed to fully park it inside the viewing garden at design. i dont think anybody has ever put a full size semi fully in there before. And we have the photos to prove it!!!

I have now modified my comments section. I have taken off the moderation as it was just to much of a pain to check. So dont be too rude, and leave your thoughts.

Peter Guthrie

Had an enjoyable weekend just gone, having both a house party and a visit from an old school friend Peter Guthrie (for those interested he is the second in from the right in the back row). The house party was pretty good with about 25 people...and nothing got broken. Had many...many beers and woke up with a huge hangover. Hope your weekend was good Peter, perhaps we will see you over here again. Say hi to Tina. Oh, and dont forget to write an article or tutorial for www.designertechniques.com
