Having followed him for a few years, his personality seemed to be a perfect match to yours. You now have another scriber with me here in Canada. Can’t wait to see your next upload and safe travels to you.

I know you're empty but she builds those RPM's smoothly and quickly! Thanks for all you do, and for helping me remember!! Be safe!!

Great video. It brought back memories of when I worked in Dandenong, doing deliveries in the work ute. I used to stick to the second lane to the right if there were more than two lanes going my way, as I found it less stressful.

Seems like most of your shifts are topping out around 1500 rpm, must build torque nicely if pulling a full gear from down around 1100 rpm.

Ah, that sweet sound from that X15! For being a newer 2018 model, this one actually sounds real good, especially with the windows down! Love that turbo blowoff when you let off the throttle to shift, and that jake sounds real good on this one! I know there's a bit of talking in this one, but it's all good, I still enjoyed every moment of it, from the takeoffs, shifting, jake brake, slow driving in traffic, and cruising on the highway! Only thing that wasn't included was engine start up - perhaps on the next one! And speaking of which, please, please continue to do super long ASMR's, with engine start up at the start, plenty of takeoffs and shifting through the gears, cruising, jaking, and everything with windows down, this C509 sounds like an absolute beast, and I could just listen to it all day long! Hopefully in the next ASMR, the X15 will do all the talking... I just love listening to that X15! Please let me know ASAP.

They see a few 30 Metre A-doubles, but the extra little bit of length seems to confuse them a bit. Amazing since the rest of the country has been dealing with a whole lot more length for a long time.
