    Power of branding + power of TV = the above.

    Expect there'll be a reality TV series before long.

    "Kings of the Road". Our camaras follow drivers from Eddie Stobart as they risk their lives everyday to deliver goods around the UK. We bring you dramatic coverage of a tailback on the M62. See them battle through half an inch of snow on the M6. Their constant fight with BMW drivers. See them dodge death at a service station as they skip the full fry up.

    Life on the edge.....

    Also free entry to watch btcc at Rockingham. My lad is nuts about Stobart and for his birthday last year we got him membership of the club. For hardly any money we got a tour round their depot, ride in a truck, loads of free goodies, free day at the races in Newmarket with free bets and Stobart fest with btcc etc. Fantastic for a boy into trucks, but there are alot of middle aged men and women members too!

    Yes that sounds really bizarre.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?
