[hondaciviclad]

is it hard to get customers when first starting out cheers.

[Bevoin1970]

@hondaciviclad Yes very, its along process. Good luck

[hondaciviclad]

hi mate whats it like as a owner driver.

[Bevoin1970]

@hondaciviclad Stressful, tiring, infuriating, downright vile, great, easy going, If you have dark hair now, you'll go grey in no time at all... LOL

Its lots of things, some days good other days a bloody nightmare, like most jobs, we do it because we need the money to pay our way in life. Overall I enjoy myself and find it great...

[aid2003]

great one Paul..Nice pics and great music

[Bevoin1970]

@aid2003 Thanks Andy :-))

[1958IanM]

1:08 Disgusting state!!!!

Great quality shots as usual Paul.

On Thursday I was driving along the M56 heading for the M6 southbound when a white Sprinter flew past me then slowed down and pulled in front of me.

It went along at just over 50 with me following close behind. Then I saw the number plate. EXM!!!!!. :-)

So I slowly pulled out and went past flashing my lights when I was near the drivers door to ensure a good video shot for you!

I'm an idiot. This was PF07 EXM. :-(

One day!

Ian

[Bevoin1970]

@1958IanM Thanks Ian :-)

Love the story... ha ha - Yes I still keep looking out for you, trust me you will know when I spot you, make no mistake. I see plenty of your company trucks around, just not yours yet. Hope your still wearing that shirt of yours? Thats what I look for on the drivers if going in opp direction.

Keep looking..

Seasons greetings Ian to you and all your family

Paul :-)

[suerisk]

quite a nice feeling

[Bevoin1970]

@suerisk Nice of you to say so :-)

Christmas greetings from me and the UK - Thanks for watching :-)

[Bevoin1970]

@Truck407 Ah!! Many thanks Boris - Yes England has now become more like Russia with many days and nights of minus temperatures.....

We are not used to this extremes of cold.. LOL :-) Chaos on our roads etc...

Paul :-)

[Bevoin1970]

@slimmon2000 Thanks Andy - Love a good photo me! ha ha... Had a taste of Edinburgh yesterday, ( Monday ) was up delivering to the university at 7am - just managed to get in and out before more snow came down and all the roads became grid-locked, as I heard on the traffic reports on radio 2. The road into the city and the 702 were jammed up. Lucky escape for me otherwise I might still be up there... ha ha

Bet your a proper Ice Road Trucker now with all this white stuff... You too take care Andy.

[DIANEK1960]

You seemed to go from summer to winter and back again in those shots! Enjoyable as ever, good music too. I think you must have the cleanest van in the uk.

[Bevoin1970]

@DIANEK1960 I like to mix-n-match eh? ha ha....

Hadn't heard this music track in years, so when I did I just knew that I had to use it.

Saying that, this video is banned in Germany due to copy-write laws.

Alas my van is not so clean looking now after returning from Scotland...

Thanks for watching :-)

[2500mike]

Nice video and pictures

[Bevoin1970]

@2500mike Thank you :-)

[bigbucks925]

You mean they came to you to do a service that's brilliant.

[Bevoin1970]

@bigbucks925 Not strictly true, as in my service was a "foreigner" a favour lets say.

Normally you would have to take your vehicle to the nearest dealer, however as mine is under warranty still, I was also getting a new fan fitted, as the not so old one was showing signs of bearing wear, odd but true. Saved me the job in this cold weather.

[JONTEJOY]

Great video as always Paul...

You can really put up good videos...

I see u got alot of snow there..

It seems that whole Europe is in a ice age now..

We havent had this cold temperaturs so early in 100 years..

Drive safe and greetings to England

Jonas

[Bevoin1970]

@JONTEJOY Thanks Jonas, must agree a new ice age dawns or so it seems.

Sure brings out some of the poorest driving your ever likely to see on UK roads by some folk. Very frustrating when you can't get to where you want, and all because of simple snow... ha ha.

You too take care out there. Hello Sweden :-)

[Scootertuner1000]

Hey those are available here in the US with a Dodge badge on them.

[Bevoin1970]

@Scootertuner1000 Yes so I see, over here in europe they are very a popular van.

[robmasterman]

The Master at work again Paul, showing how difficult the work you do can be at times. Fantastic production work as always....Bob

[Bevoin1970]

@robmasterman Master eh? ha ha... your so kind. I know I probably sound mad saying this, but I sometimes enjoy the challenge that driving in poor conditions brings. For me it brings a welcome change to my norm, lets say.

Thanks for your kind words Mr Bob, always welcome...

Paul :-)

[bigbucks925]

Did you have a break down @ 1:00 ?

[Bevoin1970]

@bigbucks925 No, my van was having a service, well spotted :-)

[AdrianMK3]

Hello Paul :) Nice to see you are keeping up the good work......as always the music suit's your video.......I heard there is a lot of snow in UK, if I'm not asking to much when you have delivery's in snowy day's can you please make a video of that like you did with the old sprinter last year? Take care........Adrian

[Bevoin1970]

@AdrianMK3 Thank you, yes I will if at all possible. I tried this time round, but my driving was done through the night and much of the video footage was just too dark and not really worth watching.

I know what you want though, see how long the snow lasts before I can video it...

[johnwood57]

Great video Paul,i like the way you have combined still and video,a very good job i may say.

I see you have got a wee bit of the white stuff as well.............John

[Bevoin1970]

@johnwood57 Thanks John, yes many pictures to make good use of, so I thought why not.

As we speak its raining and the snow is now looking very slushy and yuky :-)

[marvu00]

Oh Lord,

won't you buy me

a Mercedes-Benz?

:)

[Bevoin1970]

@marvu00 Go on then take mine... ha ha :-))

[marvu00]

@Bevoin1970 I would, but I don't have enough cash. :) Also, you have a steering wheel on wrong side. :P

[Bevoin1970]

@marvu00 Ha Ha... :-)))

[Jobergg]

I did't know you had so much snow in the UK! Looks like 3-4 inch of snow, I hope you have good winter tires.

[Bevoin1970]

@Jobergg Yes the UK has taken a serious battering just lately with many severe snow storms and serious minus temperatures day after day...

I use the same tyres all year round, we don't change our tyres in the UK because this is freak weather to us, therefore we are never prepared... ha ha

Here today gone tomorrow perhaps, we just deal with situations as they arrive. :-)

[Jobergg]

@Bevoin1970 Ok, here in Sweden our law says you need wintertires from december to april on all vehicles up to 3500 kg.

[Bevoin1970]

@Jobergg Thats Sweden, your sensible... ha ha - We are talking England now, where everything grinds to a halt the minute some snow appears. You should see some of the people who I meet on the roads driving. You would be shocked at such poor driving standards in snow. It certainly makes for interesting driving in the UK when its like this... Take care :-)

[birdman404]

lovely van souch good nick!!

[Bevoin1970]

@birdman404 Its my baby!!!  LOL :-)

[7784Patrick]

very good video Paul

bad condition on the uk roads this week

(i had to take 2 times my 9 hours break on the hard shoulder of the M25 south)

Take care

Patrick

[Bevoin1970]

@7784Patrick Thanks Patrick. I too was on the M25 this week, it was said 400 trucks were parked up on the hard shoulder. I saw many myself as I returned from Brighton area, much snow and a closed M25. Not sure how I managed to get home without getting stuck. Lucky eh? :-))

You too take care

Paul

[108Robcatt]

Great video. I don't envy you driving in current road conditions.

[Bevoin1970]

@108Robcatt Im kinda loving it simply because I find it more challenging and a welcome change to normal driving conditions. Maybe Im just mad! ha ha... :-)

[pwalpar]

Very good video Paul, drive safe my friend

[Bevoin1970]

@pwalpar Thanks Walter, I certainly intend to... :-)

[SuperRmonty]

great vid m8

[Bevoin1970]

@SuperRmonty Thank You :-)

[007vauxhall]

Fantastic pictures Paul, loved it, you must have the cleanest most looked after Sprinter in the U.K. Fab :-)

[Bevoin1970]

@007vauxhall I certainly hope so, I clean it often enough... ha ha.

Its kinda become my trade mark now having a clean van, no one ever expects it to look dirty. The winter weather makes life hard for me though..

Thanks :-)

[sprinter977]

Ciao Paul!

Great pictures of your Sprinter; of course it is a very nice van :-))

Have nice week end my friend:-)

[Bevoin1970]

@sprinter977 Thanks Gabriel, I just love my Sprinter as you can see... :-))) LOL

Take care out there.

Greetings to Italy :-)

[MrMercedes90]

Snow,that's great.Have you got a winter tyres :D.The Sprinter is so beautiful and I hope to waching him,more often.

[Bevoin1970]

@MrMercedes90 No same old tyres, used come summer or winter. The only time they ever get changed is when I have worn them out, literally.

Thanks for the nice comments :-))

[Dotsirammi]

Nice van! 5*

[Bevoin1970]

[matt4270]

[Bevoin1970]

@matt4270 Sure fire winner - Thanks :-))
