And what a truck driver you are too! You had the chequered shirt on, with no sleeves, pushing the rig to the max and still managed to control events when tyre rubber decided to part with all the other required constituent parts - at speed - under load
I tell you, I almost choked on my Texan Bar (cos I couldn't afford a Yorkie
)
Having said all that, it's 1mposter that has the absolute merit of honour. What other friend would turn up to assist in a potential punch-up in an 18-wheeler. Game over!
(Pity about the cabbages, eh?)
