A Shocking Result

I popped into H&R this morning to get some stuff and thought it would be a good idea to speak to Penske about the static problem. They tell me it could be a grounding problem so they sent her round to ThermoKing to have it looked at and some more grounding straps put on.

I also spoke to Steve Whittaker who tells me you can get (anti-static bracelets) we went down town this afternoon but couldnt find any but we will keep on looking. I am also going to fit grounding straps but i am going to see how it goes this week.

I was told that the problem is not the truck its me (see its always my fault LOL) One of the problems is that is very dry round here which makes the static more of a problem.

A few of the other british drivers have mentioned this, especially when they first come over so i think it also might be something to do with the european clothes and soles on the shoes.

Anyway more to follow on hat one........................

    Hi pal, sorry to have cut you off on the msn the other nite, but rose is mutch prettier than you,so i webcam,d with her in stead of you. As to the shocks youve been having,physics 1 if you,d paid attention would have taught you that static electricty is caused by friction ( rubbing) so stop rubbing it LOL and you wont get a shock....
