Finally I was being able to try the new 1.9. I have to say it's the best Promod edition so far. The ARP (especially Hamburg) is PERFECT! :shock: (Apart from some pretty awful framrate drops in the Ruhrgebeit and in HH, but that's my laptop's fault i think :( )
Here are some random new photos from me.

Thank you guys! Now it's time for a little story ;) :

Starting the trip at late afternoon from the homebase in Kiel. Going down to HH port for a container:
Image

Destination, Groningen (NL):
Image

Pretty big traffic on the A1 between HH and Bremen:
Image

Just outside of Oldenburg on the A28. It's getting darker and darker:
Image

Riding in the moolight in Holland:
Image

And finally arriving to Groningen, just some minutes before midnight:
Image

Next morning I've got my next job. Looks like it's gonna be a long one. So I took a little shoping:
Image

On the road with 12 tonnes of flowers to Budapest:
Image

Back to Germany. Riding just outside of Köln:
Image

I've stopped for some rest on the A3 around Würzburg:
Image

Then starting again next morning:
Image

Willkommen in "Bundesrepublik Stauland" :x :
Image

Finally entered Austria:
Image

But sadly it wasn't much more "Stau"-less, so I couldn't even reach Wien. Had to stop around St. Pölten:
Image

Early start next day, around 3 in the morning:
Image

Entering Hungary at Nickelsdorf aprox. 2 hours later:
Image

Just stopped at the first gas station to buy the hungarian motorway vignette:
Image

Riding on the M1 near Tatabánya:
Image

And finally reaching Budapest:
Image

I've parked up the trailer at the terminal. Just some paperworks to do, then ready to go:
Image

I've got some friends and relatives living here in Budapest, so I thought it's just time to pay them a visit. So I parked up the truck at a hotel, locked it, and left it there for some days:

Hope the Polizei or the BAG won't see me overtaking in the prohibited area, outside of Hannover:
Image

Morning rushhour at Kassel...:
