Unhappy Home again

Hello every one. Back home again after almost three weeks away. Been to France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Weather too warm for a poor boy from Donegal Ireland almost 40 degrees C. Was looking forward to having a blast on the CBR after three weeks at 56MPH max. but guess what weather here too fecking wet to go out hopefully next week.

Very nice Rig there Harry, very impressive. 56 max .......now that's tough going.
Those DAF's are Big 6 Turbo's ? PACCAR MX 12.9 liters some of em right ?

That's what I'd call suckin' diesel !

Yep, Nice Rig, Harry!
I like seeing your rigs, very different from the one's we have over here in the states.

56 max .......now that's tough going.
That is tough....
We have several governed haulers over here, but I think 65mph is the slow standard.
