They drive on the other side of the road here | Euro Truck Simulator 2 

"Oh fer f-... pity's sake!" 😂 Masterful recovery.

I'm loving the Colonel trying to park up his trucks. Partner came over to see what the Colonel was up to and without hesitation she says "he's going in the wrong way." So speaketh an "expert" in driving Euro Truck and American Truck simulator.😂

Loved the wheel repair during intro 🔧🔧🔧

"I'll just go and hope for the best" My sister did that once. Drove into the side of a truck.

Minor factoid about Trains, as you mention train training. Two short burts means you're moving forward, three short burts is for backup. At least that's the case in the US/Canada. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Last time I drove a French built car was a rental Peugot a year and a half ago. Funnily enough it had electrical problems. Its particular trick was spontaneously opening windows. At one point it did this with the driver's side window while parked up for the night during a delightful evening of near horizontal rain, with the wind coming from the driver's side. I got to spend the remaining week of the rental sitting in a cold, soggy driver's seat, despite my best efforts to dry it out using the seat warmer. Of course being electrical (and now wet) the heated seat itself failed after a few days of heavy use.

The 'new' Ipswich one way system is a mystery unknown to man.

Next a cop will pulls you over and Inspector Calaham steps out and says "Do you feel lucky punk... Well, do ya?"

I miss those early 2000s data entry jobs. Everyone thought I was a computer wizard.

Your reminisces on driving in the south are well worth hearing all on their own! Dartford Tunnel, unpleasant enough even if you haven't nuked your head-gasket from orbit...

So, the Colonel used to work at the docks. They call it 'doing data entry' these days do they? Do the suspenders and stockings still fit?...

The windshield wipers... and the return of the windshield wipers had me laughin'.

"Don't just change your speed arbitrarily" hey look at that, just like real life

You know your enjoying an ETS2 video when you jump onto Steam and buy four map DLCs that are 70% off on sale whilst simultaneously watching the video. It's been ages since I last played ETS2! (stopped shortly after buying the France one). Wish they would hurry up and make a United Kingdom/British Isles DLC for this game though! This is an area that really needs some love put into it.

I got a kick out of how he was driving thinking that he had solved the headlight problem without the headlights on, and just his running lights going.

Run out of trees? Has someone been at the high-detailing again?

"Don't be gentle, it's a rental"

I am very much enjoying this guided tour of England. Having no clue what you're talking about. It's lovely.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Uncle Colonel Failure's Storytime About French Cars!

Other vehicles totally ignore blinkers. Any accident is your fault, though you can usually push other vehicles around without penalty as long as the combined speed is less than about 2mph You can play ETS2 as a video game or a simulator by changing equipment and settings. It's that flexible. For a (MUCH) better UK map, add ProMods to the game (on a second profile). This is not an official map, so whenever a new version comes out, you have to wait until ProMods updates as well before you can use it again. It also adds/ improves other countries (from Iceland to the Middle East). SCS may eventually update the UK in a new update like they just did for Switzerland.

Oh boy, I share the same experience with electrical problems, in fact they are also the reason why I'll never own a French car again, and I'm French ! Still remember when I would turn the left indicators on, randomly they would turn themselves off and the headlights would turn on for a few seconds... I ended up having to drive with the lights always on, so that people wouldn't think I was flashing them... 😅 Loved the 206 Quiksilver though, fun little car it was.

Ah Woodbridge. I just happened to be stationed at RAF Bentwaters way back in the day.

Though it is a delight as it is, I would recommend promods map mod gives you a big boost in localisation and scenery, especially in the UK with just one mod, It does need most of the dlc which I don't know if you've got though. Plus a comedically dramatic (but not actually that long) post Brexit customs at the channel tunnel!

It is not a simulator......There are no Potholes

a few fun things to do 1 at a port knock something in the water 2 at a railroad crossing hit a civilian car hard enough to go over the railguards 3 at a bridge that can open park in the middle (the one latvia is pretty good it in the city connected to sweden) 4 the void its there just behind the cosses and arrows and the invisible walls SPOILER 1 suface water is solid so if you push a car into the water it will just be parked on the surface 2 this one weird the train will hit your truck but it just treats civiliancars like ghosts 3 this ones kinda funny the bridge opens through the truck leaving floating in midair and when the sip will just pass through the truck like nothing an comes back down again after like it neverhappend 4 this one is hard to find in some rareplaces across theworld the developping team forgot to create the boundriesto the void no warning no nothing just your truck doing its death roll (its a lot easier to find in American truck simulator)

34:04 I wouldn't feel too bad. I'll explain. A while back I was playing Forza Horizon 4 and a bit of Horizon 3. The fourth one takes place in Britain so drive on the left. The third one is set in Australia so you're still driving on the left. After quite a lot of that, I had a day when I felt like starting up the first one, which is set in the lovely state of Colorado. I pulled out onto a road on the left side. No traffic so I didn't notice. Turned onto another road, being sure to stay left. Suddenly remembered where I was when cars started coming at me head on. Bear with me. Brief life story. I was born in Utah in 1972. In 1975, when I was 3 years old, my Dad got a new job and moved us to the neighboring state of.... Colorado, where I've lived ever since. 😕 So like I said, I wouldn't feel too bad.

with skills like this, swift transport in usa will be wanting you to drive for them lol

Great, now I'm going to spend six months or so searching for the flippin' Oil Well Bridge.

I have no problem driving in American Truck Simulator. Eurotruck 2 is like "American Truck Simulator Hard Mode". The roads are so narrow that driving through them is like threading a needle with a soup can. Good luck trying to get one of the "Oversize Loads" to their destination in Eurotruck. Every time I try an Oversized load in Eurotruck, I just end up getting the load wedges in horrible predicamate that end up resembling that famous Austin Powers golf cart scene. And that's just trying to get the oversize load down a ramp onto or off a highway.

Well now I know why they don't sell French cars in America. But somehow, we bought French trains that take four years to enter service

They once built a nice plane in Felixstowe, that's what I knew about the city before learning how it ranks in European container port tableau. Edit: My parents and my grandparents both had a Renault and both always had broken electronics (besides the wheel installed on the intended side)

You can do a new series of driving here and reading something so we enjoy your voice, up until something happens in middle of your calm reading which makes your book reading super exciting. It is impossible for you not to get in trouble in this game. It will be so much fun and I can't wait for the next one that includes some bleeping 😂😂

There is a spiral car park in central Newcastle. It goes up rather than down. ALso, there is a spiral car park that goes down in Annecy, France ... right next to the lake. Pack skuba gear?

Significantly less clever than he sounds? No no! This is a great untruth.

You will turn on your headlights and you will like it!

This simultaneously fills me with elation & anguish... Marvellous.

Using a Motor Vehicle When Headlamps are not Lit in [Poor Visibility / Darkness] in the UK is illegal. Contrary to regulation 25(1) of the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989, section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. This offence carries a fine of £50 and no penalty points

The electric problems with your Nissan sounded exactly like something right out the Pacific Drive game, where your car would develop certain quirks over time, which you then have to diagnose and fix. By the way, that quaint game might be just up your alley, with its anomalies and vast potential for failure. Have you seen it?

loving it

Just when you got to Europe and said "power up" that's when my internet goes down... Thought it was a part of the video, hah.

Managed to find a neat solution to our problems regarding the car alarm, it's a separate module, just yank it out and hope no thieves notice (;

Not backseat driving just a passenger side suggesting the speed limiters can be turned off in the options

You have been a member of the Fail Brigade for too long if you already knew what the electrical problems of the Nissan are.

I used to fill my landie at the truck pump. Well it had a 100l tank so it wasn't unreasonable. New guy at the station decided not to allow it however. :(

True about "Kentish" drivers, although one wonders if there is an incorrect vowel in there somewhere?

Lmao, Best Truck Driver in the World Ever!

pure gold

Holy moly you are really 3D impared. Every turn while parking you overcook. By the way: map the looking left/right on the steer. The gearbox need tuning so it does not full rev all the time. And you need to trim the brakes in the menu.

love the simulated euro-road rage. =D

And I thought my truck driving was bad. 🚚🚚

I have a Nissan, my 2nd one now actually. Sometimes I would go get in and the trunk was popped up, I have had the "alarm" thing too. I had determined that it was always when the key fob was in my pocket, and either the "panic button, or truck release on the fob got pushed by being in my pocket. I don't know if that is what's happening with yours. The one I just bought has the auto liftgate, and I suppose it's just a matter of time before I find it wide open one of these days.

Flippin' Nora!

Peugeot 306dt, one of the best diesel cars ever built Colonel. 2nd only to the 405.. 🙂 PS: I thought they were built in Ryton, here in the U.K 🤷‍♂

You can turn off the speed limit in the trucks in the setting in game

They’re adding an electric Renault soon, I’m sure the electrics will be perfect. You should get a Renault in honor of your great love of French vehicles.

2:34 flying cars

This series is a problem for me, because it really makes me want to pick up the game again. I do not have time for that void. I barely survived the Farming Simulator series.

looking forward to full release of Star trucker?

29:53 strictly speaking should be a 40. nope they changed that years ago, England and wales on single carriageways it is 50 but Scotland being Scotland did not follow the rule change and they still at 40 prob huge money maker as tourists also towing i think is effected and a lot trucks from across the channel so they get ust to England 50 and easy to get caught out entering Scotland i guess it caught a lot out. but England Wales and n Ireland its 50 on single and 60 duel and m road but ive sat behind many trucks west of north wales sitting at 60 its a really fast bit roads even 60 feels slow one road a straight road goes for miles and either side great view of Snowdoina mountains then its forest road whats still fast and very pretty but one town ive seen catch out a lot truckers steep down hill after loads fast easy roads straight in to a 30 but now a 20 mid corner and trucks can be at over 40 ive sat behind a truck next sec im in clouds smoke as looking up tires struggling to slow and speed trap van all ready to take your money and points ive been luck as stuck behind a truck the first time so knew for future piggy bank waiting to catch you in that town

belligerence 101

You can actually remove the speedlimiter in de settings gameplay already when you aren’t yet driving your own truck

should be using promods the uk looks like the uk then and junctions and port is so much more realistic

They drive on the other side of the road in MOST places. Just sayin'.

@ColonelFaliure so niw the question becomes leftt or right side cab, Sp are ayou going to pe mainly in mainland euri\ope or th UK?

😎

Colonel is it true that Guy Fieri is just a Colonel Failure wannabe? 😂

LOL ;o)

Renault mostly owns Nissan, that's why you're having problems.

want more reliable car prob import from japan you get some very low miles cars even if a tad old almost rust free as they don't use salt on the roads and uk has importers what do all the paperwork stuff and you get pretty cool cars, im tempted a micro van 4 seats and mad 660cc and top speed of 74mpg at 8500rpm so not fast but fun sounding engine and 23 years old and 40k miles and seen one few years newer 13k miles a new van i cannot see any rust its like new and new miles for £7500 and city driving it be loads fun but even if not after van lots cool cars you get from japan just buy one what uses same engine what other cars in uk uses and parts and maintenance not an issue but coming frm japan it be very reliable and they right hand drive. two option for next car what i plan to keep a very long time another Hyundai i20 mines been very reliable for last 54 months and only cost me £800 in nearly 5 years in maintenance and that inc a clutch at 100k miles, only down side to Hyundai is paint it could be better but mechanics they seen to do very well and if you research common faults what kill them you fix it before it goes like i20 engine i have a chain can stretch or a bracket what holds tension can fail at around 100k mile mark so be easy on it at those miles till you sort it and its not crazy cost just over what the clutch costs but as planning getting another car soon that be for next owner so another i20 and i know how to make it very long lived car or micro kie van what i struggle to get speeding ticket and funny thing is im more tempted by the micro van with 4 seats and rear seat fold flat and no seat belts in the back but long trip have bed in the back and away to make a coffee, ideal speed ive been told 50-60 mph more closer to 50 mph and 60-70 short periods time but i mostly take back roads so van speed not so much an issue . be careful what you buy as a lot car brands now share engines like vauxhall think they use fiat engines, same goes with some ford cars like the ford ka is a fiat 500 and has same faults so doing research before you buy a car is important esp these days and cost cutting on the cards and best way for that is share parts and engines

100 km/h is 62 mph not 60 mph 😀Trucks are limited at 90 km/h or 56mph.

First? Edit: I'm in for all four options as you never disappoint, Colonel.

your lights fine and the fact you had to pay when that 2nd car hit you in Felex' is exactly why I have those fines turned off. I do recommend having some mods like ProMods which is a map based mod, it doesn't change the English roads, though it does add some towns, but it drastically improves visuals and all those fun things... then I'd say grab the Real companies from Steam workshop and Bob's ya mother's brother... While RU-vid would jump all over you the moment you used any music they don't give a wag of a tally about visual representation of real companies.

Lorry

Whe I was a lad, a truck was something you hitched onto freight trains. An open wagon suitable for transporting coal or the like. What you are driving is a lorry. All these Americanisms ...
