This old girl has got a Perkins V8. All rev and no go!

Dennis Eagle are still alive and well and still producing bin wagons as part of the Terberg empire, saw a 17 plate one the other day.

Followed by a 'Sabrina' ERF.

 

More 'perky' than the Sabrinas on a Hawker Hunter too.

Here's some "highlights" of the last couple of weeks

 

Pontoon floats for Buckden Marina... half a ton each

 

 

Simba seed drill

 

 

Called into Perkins on the way home one evening... two four pot engines destined for machines sold to Japan

 

 

Took the wagon on holiday last week to Beamish

 

 

Andddd... at last...

 

 

Early days but I LOVE IT

[CreepingJesus]

You'll be noticing the extra grunt I'm sure: the 500 pulls well. Better than the earlier 520 I reckon, it was hopeless off the boost. Even with variable everything, 12-13L engines aren't much cop over 500 I think. They actually need to be 15-16L to make that sort of power make sense.

 

I posted this before the 'realignment', so here it is again: last week's truck shite. A tatty tipper I quite enjoyed...because manual box.

Popped down to my old house at the weekend and found this lot in the next field.

 

 

 

 

 

There were 8 Ford D series, eight of the fuckers

[CreepingJesus]

Just recently there was this X reg Scanny for sale at Reliable in Newbridge. Inverness reg, but debadged...so I'd put two and two together and come up with eight. V8. Probably interstellar mileage, but it won't matter too much...

17.2 L V8s those Fiats Have. I have a 1/24 Iveco Turbostar which is the last incarnation of that Fiat Design and the v8 engine has Fiat badges on the rocker covers. Also has 2 Turbos!

 

My favourite manual gearbox video has to be of a Jamaican Leyland Reiver called The Incredible Hulk. Amazing to listen to the indefatigable little 411 pulling the 39 tons of sand on its back.

Inspired by the Jensen on the previous page I found this one,with trailer and complete with a load of plastic pigs!

Just lifted this off Twitter: was busy tutting at a Gokart having a lie down, but look what's turned up to rescue it! Ex army Foden ftw!

 

Edited for action shot!

You photographed a Carisma?

 

And a Pilot with shonky trims but didn't share?!

Oh but I did, they were in the lazy spotters thread that very day: http://autoshite.com/topic/13441-lazy-spotters-thread/?p=1205852

[Sir Snipes]

I am thus, corrected.

[0ldCh0d]

These are NOT my pictures, I have copied them from a certain UK truck website.... It has a very interesting thread on old Scrapped Lorries, I will post the link if I am allowed to? But if not, It is well worth a look.

 

 

[wuvvum]

If ever there was a lorry that needed triple wipers, the Bedford TK / KM was it.

[0ldCh0d]

Here is a Picture of a very smart, nice looking 2016 Scania R730-  SV16 NTD....

 

 

 

 

And here is the very same truck just last month.....

 

 

[wuvvum]

Whoops.  WTF happened there?  Low bridge?

[0ldCh0d]

I have no idea what happened, I first happened  to see it in a salvage auction & tonight by chance, I found the pictures of it pre accident. But I agree....WTF happened there??? Sore one none the less.

Cheers for that Eddie.

 

What a fucking Idiot car driver!!  Sorry, takes this thread a bit OT, but holy shit.

[CreepingJesus]

Fuck me, that's grim. Even if dicks trying to get out of laybys is an occupational hazard (as is people flinging stuff off bridges at you, which was going to be probably inappropriate 'witty' response), that's far beyond the pale.

 

Anyhoo...spotted this in passing the other day. Marathon cabbed rigid I thought: most unusual. Upon closer inspection (and after scrambling through the nettles) it's odder than that. Longish wheelbase double drive with a heavy, fabricated front bumper with heavy duty hitch. And AEC badging. And what looks to me from a distance, like a 14L Cummins with a Jake Brake. Gawd alone only knows what it is: I'm guessing somebody's home brewed heavy haulage/recovery mutt.

Officers raced to the scene and spoke to Thomson who said: “It didn’t work, I’m still here.â€

 

Suicide attempt??
