Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

40: Special Guest Steve Bowden
Q: If you could have the tooling for any truck that's out there, like your favorite, that's not available, what would you choose?
Bowden would choose a Volvo NH model and, especially, a British step-frame bulk tipper, ideally with plank-sided or rib-sided body options.
40: Special Guest Steve Bowden
Q: How did you get into driving? Is it family connection?
Bowden says his father drove a livestock lorry, and spending time around his father's trucks sparked his interest in transport from childhood.
39: The Drifter Style Special!
Q: So is there any future plans for the show? Would you think about expanding it or?
Henning says more than 600 entries applied for a show with space for 140 trucks. He is considering a separate retro-themed event under the Drifter Style name.
39: The Drifter Style Special!
Q: What on earth have you done?
David Henning describes how the show grew despite severe rain, which forced organizers to wash every arriving truck and made the setup especially challenging.
38: Sitting Down with Alan Richardson: Part Two
Q: Out of all your driving career, what has been your favorite truck?
Richardson says the new Mercedes-Benz ProCabin was the best truck he had driven, and he felt privileged to have it for about six months.
