If you're ever coming up to southern Norway, let me know, and we'll have a chat, if you have the time, that is.

The ferry from Amsterdam comes in to Kristiansand which is an hour's drive from here.

Hey Highway-man,

Are you already working long with http://www.post-kogeko.nl/ ???

Where do you travel mostly to ?? When you ever are in the north of Netherlands (Grunn'n) you have to take you're cam close at hand, because there are a lot of MK1 Veedubs around here !!!

Keep us posted/picted !!!!

Have save trips.....


Grtz.............. LRR

[Tjaap]

nope perl, whe never go to the north really.
mostly netherlands, belgium france and england really.
some of our company go to germany, but i don't.
Been with post about half a year now, which explains the old and small truck..
i probably get a bigger one in november.

[Tjaap]

spotted the complete MIVW crew on their way to ed.38 just outside the Harrich harbour... didn't have time to get the cam though

My father als driving a lot in england and could'nt drive last week in the snow,
He drives at Nijman The white trucks with bleu trailers from "Pilkington"

[Tjaap]

Nijman/Zeetank?... i have a model of one of their old blue trucks in my collection.

[PerL]

You should've waited 2 more secs before you snapped the pic!

[classicline]

Nijman/Zeetank?... i have a model of one of their old blue trucks in my collection.

yep Nijman/Zeetank,
My brother also collects models but only from tekno has over 200 now and
the biggest part special models, also a nice hobby!
He works at Netwerk so also a truckdriver, worked at dijko and koops before
but that was to much work and to less sleep haha.

You should've waited 2 more secs before you snapped the pic!
i was driving at 60 km per hour ;)

[berendd]

spotted you last tuesday, at about 8 in the morning close to the van Brienenoord bridge towards Rotterdam.

you drove in the flyover (i came from ridderkerk) but recognised your truck without the sleeping cabin.

I was driving a 9n from work, so completely incognito and 200m away..

[Tjaap]

sorry wasn't me... at 8 i was still on the maasvlakte at eurofrigo loading for belgium.
close to ridderkerk, it probably was one of the distribution trucks.. same size cabs as mine, but without the roofspoiler

[Tjaap]

finally got a "new" truck (though new is kinda pushing it with 800000 km on the odo)
it was the 100th Scania the company bought so Scania gave it some extra's as a present (wooden dash and extra cabinets with a fridge) so i have LOTS of space now...
England here i come...

(see our polish driver in the last pic. his truck broke down today, but parts won't arrive until monday... and as he doesn't exactly live next-door. he can call the parkinglot his home this weekend...

[Marcski]

small update and some interior pics
my spot, the limegreen :woowoo: stuff is gone already, same color as the centers of the seat was still behind it
dashstrokers who hate fake wood eat your heart out,... and it's poor quality too :thumbup:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/7/Img_4469.jpg
the bed turned down (it's above the windscreen) the ugly waterstains came out quite easily today (had some waiting time today and it needs ALOT of cleaning
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/7/Img_4470.jpg
the luxury cabinets, with pretty decent speakers in them, a fridge on the left the rest is just storage (scania wants 1850 euro for this option :sly: (the big cabinet on the right will house my laptop so i can watch dvd's from the bed
(and yes the VW flag is kinda fucked up)
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/7/Img_4466.jpg
and my first mods :thumbup: :thumbup:

and the second mod...

i was missing the "L" on the 114L logo on the grill..
garage didn't wanna give me a new logo since it wasn't missing, just incomplete..
i was irritated by the holes in the logo how-ever so i needed something to cover them up. and yeh it's RWD but it has 4 wheels in the back ;)
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/7/Img_4620.jpg

so last friday i got to the Harwich harbour quite early.. 6 PM and loading doesn't start untill 11 PM.. but luckily there were alot of Post-Kogeko trucks there already so we had fun..
