    Is that a new recipe from McDonalds these days, half the stuff you buy in these fast food outlets to me tastes like plastic, I don't mind experimenting with food, but, I draw the line at certain things, like mega spicy hot chillis that burn your stomach, and everything dripping in garlic butter, yuk.....That was one good thing about American cuisine, you don't drench everything in garlic like we do across the pond, you're sensible eaters.

    Cheerz. Steve.

    You are big on your prawns then Bruce. Only fish/seafood i like is cod and in batter.

    I like a nice couple of slices of bread & butter with my chips.

    Personal choice buddy, i know what i like in regards most things.

    But never deprecate, other peoples preferences.

    Mike.

    I don't mind fish 'n' chips, Mike, but I would prefer a kilo of freshly caught and cooked "schoolies" (school prawns, as distinct from King prawns), salt and vinegar and fresh bread & butter.
    Living as I do in Yamba, renowned for its prawns, I could have this every day, but get bored with it.

    Yeah sorry Vern, forgot the mushy peas. I don't eat anything foreign, only all the stuff i grew up with.

    Nooooooo don't mess with the batter

    As for Bruce, you stick too your fried Roo, buddy.

    Absolutely Mike. Maybe throw in some mushy peas too but definitely not curry sauce! I’m a 100% traditional British when it comes to food. Can’t take anything hot or spicy which rules out Indian or Chinese/Thai etc.

    I think you can get fish and chips in America, certainly years ago on our road trips some of the diners served up something resembling it but tended to be too many chips and the batter was more like what you get on supermarket fish.

    Yes, on all my visits to the US over the years I never got to try Arbys either, however, I understand that they also do fish sandwiches besides all their meat offerings, and I'm a bit partial to a fish sandwich if it's done properly, so, if you visit one in future have a good look on the menu.

    Cheerz. Steve.
    When I used to visit McD's the Filet-O'-Fish was my go to.
    Sadly, I'll surely be planted 6' under before I locate an Arby's
    Perhaps, the heaven's will offer a worthy Fish Sandwich, let us pray!.
    What's a little Plastic & Mercury, right?.

    Jerry / Mike / ?

    I don't know if you're aware of the program called Truckbook which may be of interest.
    It's an electronic LogBook which works with both ATS / ETS, SP / MP modes as well.

    If already aware, kindly disregard, if not, may be another feature to go alongside your trucking career.

    Hahahahahahaha, pink wheels the epitome of gender equality Scott

    Nice piccie buddy, i only driver older trucks myself. I have a paid mod from RTA of the Peterbilt 359, which is my favourite.

    But i also enjoy driving three free truck mods. Kenworth K100E, Freightliner FLA and Freightliner FLC.

    Don't believe i have ever delivered to Elko. I do like ATS, but tend to drive ETS2 more. As i have two standalone 1:1 ratio map mods. Which i find more interesting than the 1:20 scale of the default maps, in both games.

    Mike.

    I snapped a shot of my ride Jerry. Somewhat basic, as the "Martin Bros Trucking" still in our infancy after several yrs. of ATS.
    I outfitted my truck with the green rims in honor of my long-lost brother "Donny" at age 17.
    We've 2 other tractors outfitted the same, with exception to the wheel finishes. Our hired Driver Jessica has her wheels in pink, while Jeri our senior driver, his wheels in blue. Our home base is Elko NV established not long after ATS got underway. We've 2 trailers of our own. 1 FlatBed, the other a LowBoy, which both paid drivers share the 2-trailers.

    Anyways, thought perhaps Yourself / Others may enjoy the looks.
