Intro on point! Kev's back. And so is the Renault! I still battle with the cars being thrown away, they could really be sent out there to help with medical transport to the most rural areas, Covid19 or not; many a time people die en route to hospital waiting for someone to come fetch them with a bicycle. Many of them still idling! Really and truly is a painful waste. But that's life! I'm still battling to figure out how this lift works. Ok now that Rover... Peugeot not that bad. Nice to see you're enjoying yourself mate!

[@3sray1]

Hi Kev. Thank you for liking and replying to my comment (referring to the 1994 rover my family still has). I tried to edit my comment to add to the fact that we've had it from new. For some reason youtube just removed the whole comment. Blooming technical gremlins. Thank you again and keep up the good work :)

[@peterfrazer1943]

Love these vids. I am always looking for B&Bs to stay when I am motoring around down South and that Manor House caught my eye when you were picking the Rover up in Swindon. Ideal with the Pub right next door. Lets hope the lockdown ends soon! All the best Kev.

Loved the Vlog again Kev, the chest cam I thought was the perfect height to see over your steering wheel, even though at one point I did find my self sitting up straighter in my chair to get a better view over the steering wheel 😂😂 ( I can't believe I admitted that), and the Rover was just superb I loved them cars, even though the paint work left a lot to be desired what was someone thinking, anyway stay safe and I will look forward to the next one.

[@therandomking1265]

I must say i am enjoying watching your change of career. Something a bit different watching a transporter driver all be in not a full size tandem but still very entertaining. There is quite a few You Tube Class 1 lorry drivers and watching your content in a class 2 transporter is a nice change from some of the other channels such as Scott Andrews and Luke C In A HGV. Don’t get me wrong i still like to watch their container as much as your but it is nice to see something different.

Hi Kev how you doing ? I’ve always loved the Rover 200 later style with grill as it’s always had that Jaguar look about them round the grill & I’ve always been a lover of Jaguar cars mainly from watching Minder which I have on DVD 📀. I hope Rover gets restored to former glory instead of getting scrapped pal.

[@matty6848]

I used to have a British racing green 220 GTi it was super quick went like s#*t off a shovel and I kid you not I could keep up with most cars on the road. Cosworths, R.S Turbo’s I even raced a TVR griffin V8 and they could never get away from me. Probably the best car I ever owned, then i got married & had kids so the Rover has to I’m afraid couldn’t afford it. If I still had it now it would be a classic although it’s probably been crushed like many others were😢

It's not Road Tax which was abolished in 1937 it's Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) a tax based on a vehicles emissions. Yeah, I'll probably get stick for pointing that out! Great video, watched it all, stay safe especially on the outside of your truck with close passing vehicles!

Been watching your videos for a while, i really enjoy them, being a ex trucker myself, I miss it, the chest cam is not my favourite view ( cant really see much even with it being a bit higher ), have you thought about a cap cam, I watch a few truckers/farmers who use these and it virtually gives a eye level view

Hi Kev the 14ft 8 height indicator is that the max height the vehicle will be or an average height? Obviously depending on what car u have raised deck will dictate height. Cheerrrsssss

Just something about having previous accident recovery experience prior to my hgv career, hence why I'm not completely clueless to what I'm currently doing 👍

[@rocasaamsterdam]

Great stuff Kev like always. I was wondering if it isnt better to wear some work pants with kneepads so you dont rough up your knees?

It's called proceeding with caution when the lights are locked on red, hence why I stopped briefly at the other end to inform the car waiting, I also drove through the same lights on my way to work so was aware of the issue.

Pulling that rover on could have ended badly parked at a entrance for parking if somebody had just shot in or out before you got the car in the way it could have caused alot of damage surly trent provide safety items for when working in these areas

[@KevTee]

There was no danger to other road users, the cable was on the ground for most of the time and any car coming in or out would of just drove over it. The only time the cable was taut was when the car was actually being winched across the entrance so no one could drive in or out of the carpark as the car was blocking the entrance.

[@grossburger21]

something ive noticed since you have been on the transporters..how many times have you got to the job lately and informed "na sorry mate your to early" or "go round the block a few times and come back in half hour"" or other delights as in "go and park over there for four or six hours my forklift has got a puncture"" defiantly seems less stress then bourdons think you made the right move there.

[@sammytheseal2307]

@@matty6848 Oh yes I know, I'm a rover lover myself 😀 They were just weak, and if neglected then they popped. The head gasket never just "went", it was something else that caused it so they aren't that bad at all. I had a rover 45 with k-series 1.6, it got really good fuel milage on long runs (close to 45mpg) The head gasket was replaced by the previous owner when "the coolant had oil in it" in their words exactly 😂

Hey there so im planning on doing my class 2 then maybe my clasa 1. I have a young family will being a truck driver take me awag from them 5 nights a week ? Or is it possible to work 5 days a week but only stay 3 nights away from home ?

[@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM]

That can all depend on what company you work for and what you're delivering. Generally if you're doing "class 1" long distance work, there's a high chance you can be away for a while (personally didn't like that, sounds daft but it was to easy, that's why I became a Drayman) But again that all depends on a lot of things, mainly, traffic/road conditions, but most importantly customers, anyone who lives the life, knows what I mean, when I say "customers" So much of it, is in the lap of the Gods. You've got be able to take, the rough, with the smooth. I could never go back to another indoor job. Even if you're working locally, the days just fly (Ha to much, at times, especially if you're doing multidrop) it's always dynamic. There's a different sort of challenge to overcome, whether it's working class 2 or 1. Good luck to ya mate, I honestly hope everything works out for ya. PEACE!
