Maggies, Kennies and cross-country trucks. Yes, 'The Boss' is back on Biglorryblog!

Hip, Hip Horray and jump for joy! 'The Boss is back....so pay attention or he'll give you a right good ear-bashing! Anyway the lovable old curmudgeon has sent me this terrific selection of shots and the following report from his most recent run down to France. "BLB...Wow! What a week, usual trip to the South of France but almost a holiday,double-manned with a builder buddy of mine,seeking a respite from today's stresses."

.

He then goes on to say: "Thought I could take some pics as he drove---might just ping the 'new Maggie' which I started to see last week, twice in fact. But out on the road,nothing.

Never mind, met Didier Mathieu taking a break from working on the harvest with his Kenworth tipper and despite the dust the Kenny looked great,and I invited him to the blog. 'Bonjour Didier, bienvenue Big Lorry Blog'." And that goes from me too Didier!

Anyway The Boss continues in forthright manner: "But I can't keep the blog waiting,so here for the blog is the new Maggie and of course Renault F1 would have it first."

"Taking petit dejuener,breakfast earlier in the day I noticed on the bar wall a poster for The National cross country championships for Trucks. ,while outside an older Kenny,no doubt of Convoy fame was parked up with another Kenny on the back of the trailer heading for that very competition."

And here it is from the front......

And with the cross-country artic on the back! "How do you do cross country with a tractor unit?" asks the Boss. Search me mate. But in the meantime he signs off "Great week for a saddo but why care? At my age,keeps me out of trouble!" And we're most grateful for the pictures too. Now click through here for a couple more from The Boss.....
