At 21 I bought a new K100 Aerodyne and hit it hard with my little wife beside me. A year later I taught her to drive. 46 years later we’re still doing it, except that I’m disabled and she does all the driving. She averages 2500 miles a week with me riding shotgun. I help her in every way I can. Pretty crazy, huh?

I ran a Star Car awhile , thats one of the best looking model in my opinion. Light blue outside , dark purple interior. Big Kitty with a 15 spd. Loved it. Tightest cab , no noises or air leaks , best ride I had.

Excellent. I've watched these two 35yrs ago. Oh God that's good. The best interview ever in my opinion. Thank you so much. There's only 2 more guys would have been the ultimate interview but they're both passed though. Again, thank you. Too me, the best interview to date.

The left hand indicator thing they were saying they did to say hi at night to another driver coming towards you, We still do that to this day in New Zealand and has been a tradition done for as long as i can remember except we flick the right hand indicator as we drive on the left hand side of road, the other thing guys will do is flick there clearance lights off and back on real quick which means the same. Some guys even go to hooking up a separate spring button cut-off switch that's hooked into the clearance lights line. They will put it in an easy to reach spot and just push the button a couple times to flick the Clearance marker lights off and on a couple times which is the fancy way to say hi😉. Great video here on these canadian truckers. Thanks

Thank you! This one is all on Billy. He did an I credible job despite his reluctance. I think it took 4+ people an hour to convince him on the day….and over a year of sporadically asking on my part 😂 Pleased to say he’s happy with the result!
