Well, that was a lot of fun! I'm going to guess most players of #ETS2 will not be rolling their own gear(s)... Time to do it all again in SCS Software's #AmericanTruckSimulator next, where manual shifting is perhaps more usual. #BestCommunityEver

I wonder ever more about Ford's new (*cough*) "Capri" pricing when the Mustang Mach E exists, looks better, works better and costs less, moreso from MY2025. The "Capri" is a vehicle so full of VW leftovers that "iD.Ford" would have been a more honest name.

Instead of doing the Dad thing, going round the house setting all the clocks back an hour before going to sleep tonight, I'm just going to leave them this time round, then tomorrow morning quietly watch the family's confusion... Jürgen Maier Stewbacca3 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺

Not quite #CruisingGreece in SCS Software's #ETS2. Actually, will that be the name of the event? Sounds a bit like a boat trip around the Adriatic... Anyway, the bits of southern Albania that we're not supposed to be driving yet are very pretty. #BestCommunityEver

Just a new Renault Trucks UK 6x2 rigid with a refrigerated body that delivered to the Foodbank Warehouse today... The driver was full of praise for it - very comfortable, good tech, nice to drive, looking forward to the eTech version! 🚚 👍 Jürgen Maier #bestcommunityever

Well, my 2006 Vauxhall Vectra passed another milestone today, between stopping at two junctions. It's been mine since new, ~50mpg lifetime average, 18.5yrs old, still on the original clutch. Just an average German-built GM Europe car, reliably getting on with stuff. 😎👍

Amongst all of the festivities nestled this little gem of pre-owned fascination - a book that leaps to the top of my reading pile... William Shatner is my captain. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Star Trek Seán Ferrick🖖 is on Bsky Rocketgirl 🚀 TheRedLady Sophie 🖖🏻

"Well," as my nan would say, "that's over for another year!" Dinner done, calm descends, blessings to all!

"The King called up his jet fighters..." Hope this doesn't Clash with the Krone or Kögel faithful, but it's time to Rock the Kässbohrer, #CruisingGreece (and a little bit of Albania). In other news, #ETS2 Steam achievements and full map both back to 100%, even if I'm not ...🤒

So, just how true to life are the models in SCS Software's #ETS2? From the Swiss rework, I'm going with "very". Is it okay to choose the Volvo Trucks #FH16 Series 6 #Electric as my car? If Glockner pass is shut, this could be on my Aptera trip home. #BestCommunityEver

We all love small electric cars, right? In cities, especially Europe & Asia where we have streets an F150 would block wall-to-wall... Ginny Buckley Jack Scarlett Here's a startup from Hiroshima, Japan, with what looks like an Optimised Citroën Ami: kg-m.jp/mibot/

Is anyone else seeing follower numbers go up, but the follower list has no new names? Where are these ghosts?!😂

Nerdy goodness - LEGO and ALIENWARE combined! Yes, it's an Area 51 desktop PC reimagined by Buildamoc in bricks, right down to the liquid cooled CPU, system build/upgrade QR code, and case-top USB ports. What a time to be alive!! 🤓👍

12 years 2 months and 25 days manufacturer cover? Vauxhall Zafira B Lifetime Warranty finished as the car passed the 100,000 mile, er, milestone moment today. Basic 1.6L petrol, brilliant family car! I wonder if there are many more of these Lifetime Warranties still in place?
