A bit of service, only adding windshield washer fluid you need to open the hood, so need to tip over the bullbar ect.

[Micho014]

Nice shots!
THe MP5 looks really good, is it easier to manuover with "no" mirrors ot the same?

[Thomson]

@Micho014

First it feel like reversing first time ever but nowdays, It's the same do i have mirrors or not, it goes backwards and always I have hit the dock with the trailer end.

[Thomson]

So, well. Nothing new to tell.

Here is some REALLY random pics. I mean. Really.

Still driving these 2 white Actros, 2551 and 2553. THe MP4 has now 510,000km and the MP4 passed 70,000km limit last week. Older has some old trucks problems but nothing that makes my work hard. Everything works fine. New still has nothing, even the MirrorCams that people said that ain't gonna work, yes, they still work.
