Ah, that explains a bit. I just thought that it doesn't really earn money for the company if it just sits in the yard for a 3 months

More lights = No.

Free/Straight/No muffler exhaust = Yes (if its a V8) D

Just my 2 cents :DDD

Not much more lights. 4 more lights in the bullbar and two orange ones in the grill with a 'SUPER' mark in the middle. Of course it's a V8! I will not have it all straight tho. I will have a switch to turn it on and off.

Edit: That last bit is about the Exhaust btw! Forgot to mention that..

Lmao, VW have actually agreed to replace and repaint the Passats front wings free of charge under the 12 year corrosion warranty.

What engine? 580. It's not that much but it is enough for the loads i will be taking

[[TC]►Ras◄]

That's quite good actually. Should be more than enough for most loads.

Ahh, now i understand your plans more Tigr


Had a good chance to take a photo of this thing too...



We will be adding a boost gauge in it soon... thats the only thing changing in the meantime...

Long term plans (dads) are (not 100% sure):
Painting it Matte Grey
Putting some banded steelies in it
Fixing the bodywork....

Its not the most beautiful thing in the world, but its quiet and damn comfortable, doesnt drink that much diesel either (4,7litres/100 at motorway speed, 5-7 at city.)

Bonnet pins for extra 25kw, and for extra 100% of bonnet opening ability...

Also, the replacement bumper is on the background in the 1st photo.

To be honest, I'd like to see something else than Golfs and Volvos, for a change

If a truck = your ride then there's obviously no problem.

Those trucks are their rides? lol

[[TC] TigR]

It is my ride, yes. Maybe i don't own it but it is the ride i will be spending 5-6 days of the week in for the next few years. So yeah, i would call that my ride

I spend more than 45hours per week in that beast. I can honestly say that this is MY ride.

We've already discussed this situation like 1 month ago, the month before and every other month or so. This is isn't "Jimmy's golf and sometimes other vehicules", Its "Show us YOUR ride". AFAIK, this is indeed MY ride.

You were also told to stop using these threads as your own personal blog, but it's not like that's had any impact, has it?

*Back on track*

I kinda wish these were available in Canada. We might get them soon as some major carriers are testing them here (Some stupid regulations regarding emissions and pollutions preventing them to be imported here)

[[TC] TigR]

Woah, i thought the new Euro 6 engines were some of the most environmental friendly trucks there was. I don't think they are as nice to live in as some of the big rigs in America but they are just incredibly good to drive! At least what i have heard, the American trucks are like wooden horses compared to the European ones

It's all because of US regulations, especially California laws. They are super picky on the trucks and it blocks the importation of such trucks. One of the biggest carrier in Canada is testing 2 GlobetrottersXL at the moment and the like it a lot. Unfortunately they have to stay inside Canada because the USA won't let the trucks inside their grounds. "Ameerrriicccaaa, F-Yeah!"

Last night's trip was rough but Freezing rain won't stop me from delivering my load!
