I'm on 49824 so keep on trucking Terry, I'm on your tail. Very Happy

In my defence though I very often do 8 or 9 drops in a day so that eats into my driving time too Sad

Yessir that would be miles.

I think they're taking odds on which one of us plays out first. As long as they keep us together I think we can make it another five years, and that's all I need. Very Happy

The Scania 420 I use is on an 03 plate and yesterday I parked up with 1004020.7 km's on the clock. It is double shifted almost every day of the year. The unit and tanker are serviced every 6 weeks. I never have to scrape ice off the glass but keeping it clean is a mission. It is in good shape as I try to keep up a tidy appearance. Cool Waving
