Diesel Gypsy

The Diesel Gypsy

This is our new toy! It's a 1998 VOLVO VNL610.
We spent a good part of the 2004 summer , driving around inspecting various similar trucks until we found this one.
The search in itself was a hoot.
As we are not, nor will ever be "truckers" the truck salespeople found our keen interest in these highway tractors a little strange.
It is not yet considered "normal" to use one of these trucks for personal use.
Our reason for purchasing, and then customising this truck, is to haul our fifth-wheel recreational vehicle.

The pictures and posts that will appear here is a rough documentary of our project.
Feeel free to send us you comments.
