There can be no doubting Ziets' enthusiasm

I believe that he is a danger to himself and other road users should he complete the trip as he describes. It really is too much.

Colours work out how many hours the man will be behind the wheel of the Heavy duty vehicle when he parks it for the final time. Whilst I believe his enthusiasm and work ethic are beyond reproach, in my opinion the man would be a moving time bomb in the last stretch of his journey. Can you just imagine the absolute tragedy that could occur if he fell asleep behind the wheel? To be fair there is no mention of whether he has a relief driver. I hope and trust that he is not planning to do this solo.

His dedication and passion are commendable.
To quote Walter Horatio Pater:
"To burn always with this hard,gem-like flame,to maintain this ecstacy,is success in life."

A fitting and apt post by BigNic

I Showed Zietsman if u disengage the Air Brake u can do the trip an hour quicker.

Also the Horse and Grooms have been Velcro'd to the Sides of the float for better cornering at high speeds. so all good
