I too liked that Scania Eric, was very nice looking - Thanks for riding with me Eric, always good to have you as a passenger with me. Greetings to Germany...Paul :-)

[@robmasterman]

No one does it better Paul, a superbly told story as always, coupled with amazing camera work and production...all resulting in a fantastic piece of work for all your fans to enjoy...Brilliant...Bob

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you for such kind words - "Hello" Italy much love from England :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you too Owlydog, nice to hear from you after what seems like a long time. Glad your enjoying cruising around in the VW. Peace and love to you too :-)) "Hello" from England

[@7784Patrick]

i must say that it was the same from me about the ideas of video i find that the new concept of our italian friends is very great

[@ConzoMalone]

Another smashing video, the van is looking great as per.

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you Sebastian, - Greetings to Poland :-)

[@Wilhem275]

I always enjoy your travel tales! Cheers from Italy :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

We have many many small roundabouts in England Slawek, you would feel quite at home driving here..ha ha :-) Nice to hear from you once again. Take care... Paul :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

No not Kelsa, the front bar and roof bar are from "Jimbars" you can Google him, and the side bars are "Black Rhino" made near Burton, Fradley park area, Lichfield Staffs. You can Google them too. Many thanks :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

I've had other things to do in recent months, so not spent as much time with KZbin as I once did. I've also run out of new ideas, so rather than keep uploading same old stuff, I've taken a back seat so to speak. Thanks for taking a ride Wayne, keep safe. :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

I've taken a back seat with KZbin in recent months Wayne, been pre-occupied with other things, plus to keep coming up with new stuff isn't easy. Think I'd lost my urge to be creative...lol This is my mates customer, I covered this job for him under duress, ha ha. Knowing what a dirty job these runs are, I often decline from doing them, however on this day he got me... Like you say, it all comes down to money. Thanks Wayne.

[@Bevoin1970]

Paul, this load was one that I was only too glad to be rid of. Not at all clean like the Kitchen units you helped me with, quite the opposite, dirt n shit everywhere. It was dry dirt to, so very dusty, as it literally blew all over the place with the wind. Im still hoping for another run to North Wales now the weather is getting warmer, fingers crossed. Thanks Paul :-)

[@007vauxhall]

Nice one Paul..you obviously got unloaded in the end...lol...great trip aboard the good ship sprinter :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

I thought it was about time I made a new video Patrick, but I don't have many new ideas at the moment. All my recent films are same format, just different trucks and trailers...ha ha. Gypsy caravans seem to be everywhere sometimes, this was quite a large camp from what I saw parked up near the traffic Island. I didn't stop long enough to loose either my wheels or my diesel. :-) Many thanks Pat, my fav passenger. Take care out there...Paul.

[@Bevoin1970]

Small world eh? I've just returned from Aberdeen yet again, thats twice now since I saw you last week. Met a fellow driver up in Dundee, how bizarre! and we drove back together, made for a much better journey..lol Lovely to meet you, take care and lets hope we cross paths again some day...Paul :-)

[@heavyhaulage1]

Very Nice Paul! All the best

[@Jobergg]

Thanks for the video, I wonder if you still got the plants or if you got rid of them, but then I saw your answer in a comment :) On wednesday I'm going in a old Scania 110 to a truck meet for oldtimers, I hope for good weather so I can make a video from the run ;)

[@szmitz]

Super Video:) Great return on youtube Gretings from Poland Sebastian :)

[@Bevoin1970]

No its a maintenance compound for the section of motorway in the area that I live. They will be in charge of looking after a small area in say a 10 mile radius perhaps :-)

[@Bobcatonline]

Good to see you back on the road. Shame about your cago this time. Takes an age to clear up after a load like that. Thanks for sharing the trip.

[@Bevoin1970]

When it comes to mess, these Plant runs are the mother of all messy jobs. I do them to help a mate out, its his customer and not mine, so from past experience, and knowing just how dirty these jobs are, he rarely asks me to do them, as I often decline, but today he got me. You know how clean my van is in the back, so you can imagine the mess left behind after I cleared out all those Plants etc... shit city to say the least..lol Thanks Pete :-)

[@7784Patrick]

ha ...M Paul a new video....it was a long time.....maybe with the good weather i am glad to watch yours again my friend A tree plant nurcery is not the best place to keep clean the sprinter at 6;05 i understand why there are so much diesel thiefs in Peterborough...-)) great one Paul thanks for sharing and have a good week Pat

[@TruckingInTheUK]

Have you still got those trees in the back? Last thing you told us was you were going to make a call! :-) Splendid little run Mr B

[@Xposed1991]

yeeeey.... Mr Paul is back.... :D "awesome videos category" +1

[@andrzejtrucker]

An early morning start? I love driving in the sun rise though it's usually half of my day's work at this stage;) some fine rig's there but that's nothing unusal in your vid's:) P.S. haven't looked at your channel for a while but the little fella takes a lot of our time now:)

[@Bevoin1970]

Yes I got rid of the plants after a short while, but was left with lots of shit in the van...not good! :-(((( Im loking forward to your future video already...ha ha Many thanks Jobergg

[@johnwood57]

I seemed to have missed this one Paul,i knew i would get there in the end.Got a week off work now so im trying to catch up with all the video's,well only while the pub isn't open LOL

[@2500mike]

Im catching up. Great video here and all the rest! Hope for some more driving vids soon. Hope all is well.

[@Bevoin1970]

Aha! Im glad you posted this, i've been wracking my brains ever since I met you in Selfridges...ha ha - Always good to meet a fellow driver and KZbinr, strange how we just bumped into each other like we did, very random. Hope you had a good day? I was stood for 20 mins waiting for that thicko blonde girl to return my paperwork after she went walk-about in the store, she said I didn't realise you wanted it back, only my copy I said. durrrr honestly!

[@alpinaB12coupe]

sweet Sprinter model car you have there :)

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you, must admit I do look after her quite well.. :-))

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you kind sir... :-)))

[@AndysmGray]

Enjoyed that Paul. Must say the van is looking well smart. Very impressed on how you hang back at roundabouts to give the big guys some room. The amount of idiots I encounter daily who try to squeeze into an impossible space is unbelievable. I'm guessing the sweeping brush got a good workout after this one...haha Good stuff mucker. A worthy 5***** Andy. ;-)

[@pwalpar]

Good video Paul :-)

[@aid2003]

Have you been at Truckfest?? I did miss it again this year..Grrrr.. Hope to make it there next year finally

[@Bevoin1970]

Ha ha..thanks John, I myself must have loads to catch up on, I just cant keep up with them all. Makes no difference really, I tend to just pop on every once in a while these days, just to keep my hand in so to speak. You stay in the nice warm Pub, I don't blame you, much more fun than YT videos..lol :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Your much too kind Bob, but I like it...ha ha. Many thanks as always. :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Thats ok kids come first in my book, had three of my own..lol - I too don't get on KZbin so often these days, I don't get the urge to make new films just lately, so I have kind of taken a back seat. Im sure I'll get my spark back one of the days. Thanks for watching and commenting anyway. :-))

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you kind sir :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Thanks for watching, yes all is fine my end, although I haven't made any new films lately, various reasons, time, effort, no new material etc... Paul :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Your too kind, thank you. :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Yes its ok, but then I also like Peace and quiet sometimes too. Like all jobs it has good and bad days, no job is perfect. Many thanks Simas :-))

[@Bevoin1970]

Oh you wouldn't believe how much mess was left behind, I had to sweep and Mop it out later on. She looks back to normal now, thankfully. Not a good look when you open the rear doors and see piles of dirt and leaves etc, looked as if I'd been doing many runs to the local Tip...ha ha. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. :-)

[@sprinter977]

Great video Paul! have a good sunday my friend ;-)

[@Bevoin1970]

Many Thanks gabriel :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

I've recently been bitten by the Pimp my Ride bug I think..lol, you know how one thing leads to another. Im really a lorry driver in a van me thinks, Im quite lorry driver friendly in my opinion, I always flash them out and back in etc, pull over on duel-carriageways allowing trucks to pull out and so on... Know what you mean about cars clashing with trucks, see it myself most days, I wince quite a lot at what I see. Many inexperienced drivers just ask for trouble, and get it..! THX Andy :-))

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you Walter :-)

[@transportebeccar]

Hi paul good video, good luck

[@Bevoin1970]

After watching you meet Tony in Italy, I had a great idea. next time you meet someone like Tony, maybe you should give them the Boxing Glove in a video, like a "Handover" and then providing they have a KZbin account will will see just how far the Boxing Glove can travel around europe. Each driver must pass on the glove to the next driver he meets from KZbin, he films it, and we all get to see the glove travel far and wide. It may get back to England one day...ha ha :-) Good idea eh?

[@Mickygemma]

Blonde and stunning but worth the wait for another look LOL As soon as you jumped out I went to myself "His face rings a bell" hence the "OI" sorry lol. I had a goodish rest of the day. I had to have a night out the next night. I got sent to Poole, Portsmouth, Southampton and then head to Dartford for the last drop where I ended up having a night out at. Other then that it was nice to meet ya and must say the Merc looked good and I also recall that I have seen you on the M6 once heading south

[@Bevoin1970]

No I have never been, maybe one day too I shall visit myself, maybe even enter my own Van :-)

[@pagantruckie]

When I saw the title I thought it was a bit early for Christmas that's about the only time we do a tree run at work. One of the bosses sends a 45foot taughtliner to collect trees for the local club he is a member of. Know what you mean about mess left behind. Was that razor wire on the nursery gate?

[@Bevoin1970]

Thank you, best comment of the evening.. lol :-)

[@Bevoin1970]

OMG! the mess left behind after handballing out what seemed like 500 plants all dripping with dirt, my van looked like a mobile Skip after I'd finished. You would think I'd been doing runs to the local Tip...lol Yes razor wire, barbed wire you name it they have it...lol Thanks for the comment. :-)

[@diliukas]

Hi Paul, I really enjoyed this video, but I want to ask you, do you like living near road? I mean for me its romantic, I would like to try that kind a life at one day :) What could be better than the sound tires ;-)) Best Regards, Simas

[@MANTGXV8Fan]

Nice vid again Paul! Are the bars from the brand Kelsa?

[@Bevoin1970]

Thanks Mick :-)

[@Mickygemma]

I think we will as we both drive all over the UK. Trying to get a euro trip in the bag. I will try and film some of it

[@canvids1]

Paul good to see you on the road again. Hauling trees now eh! anything for a buck. LOL

[@dutchurbanminer]

Like a Dutch highway , but what did they do across your street , build a prison... ?

[@fatboon]

is it just the video, or is the sprinter making a strange noise? especially when your building your speed/pulling away

[@sieberish]

[@Mickygemma]

[@Bevoin1970]

Yikes! dont say that, you'll have me Paranoid that something is wrong now...lol Well not to my knowledge, so far as Im aware all is working well, not heard anything thats made me go "whats that..?"

[@Mickygemma]

Were the trees for the by pass then? and those scum bags on the round abouts with there tin sheds pulled up the night before you arrived. at a guess that was a Friday? you was in Peterborough as it was a nice day that day

[@Bevoin1970]

Yey!! I'll second that...ha ha :-)

[@Bevoin1970]
