Oh man I sure do miss the good ol' days of climbing into the cab of a Argosy or 580HP Scania.

I used to work on big trucks as a weekend and school holiday job doing the Ice Cream and Frozens run between HN and Turangi stopping nearly everywhere in between end of each day any damaged Ice Cream was loaded into the car and then into the freezer at home where it would never get eaten.
