After my previous two rants I will be more positive here.  I am still driving around the beautiful county of Yorkshire delivering agricultural type products to our customers.  One of my colleagues has been off ill for the last few weeks I hope he is soon well and back to work, but for the last two weeks I have been driving his truck which was new this year.  What an improvement over my eleven year old vehicle.  I am well past the age where I'm impressed by shiny new machinery and didn't want a new truck but all that's changed.  When the truck is vastly more comfortable much easier to drive, being an automatic, and has air conditioning giving me a less fatiguing day I'm all for it.  Well done DAF, I have informed our transport manager that "I WANT ONE".  His reply was "be patient, yours is next to be renewed." I'm not that good at patience.  While I sincerely wish my colleague a swift recovery I don't want him to hasten back to work too quickly.
