Truck Shite

[Guest Hooli]

Ideal* for a hipster twat cawfeemockasludgeaconversion, it's already got a roof* garden.

.......but there's no way that load would move during pretty much any normal driving.

The number of times we heard that in the H&S department after a driver went around a bend, or usually an empty roundabout at full cant.

[worldofceri]

The number of times in twelve years someone from a 'H&S department' has put on a pair of gloves and shown me how it should be done:  Zero.

I started to write an illustrated post on recent shitey truck activity but lost it. In the mean time can anyone with lorryitus who is on FB give my page a like please? https://www.facebook.com/knightfarmtransport/?ref=br_rs

Not quite on the same scale, sadly.

Do you need a Tacho to do that?

[worldofceri]

Yep.

[AMC Rebel]

ARe they easy to fit to a 4x4 like that?

[Vantman]

Also liked--maybe you should show a picture with a car on the trailer to catch peoples eye?

Yes, but expensive! Not a diy job since it has to be calibrated by an approved tachograph centre.

Still early days I thought I'd wait until I've had something reasonably photogenic on it!

Ukrainian Actros spotted outside the Honda factory in Swindon earlier. Got to be the most 'exotic' truck I've ever seen in the UK.

Well I do have a Rover P4 that needs shifting fairly urgently. Photogenic enough?

Absolutely! Drop us a pm with a few details; more than happy to shift that for you...

 

Meanwhile, have a little Daihatsu I took down to Devon the other day:

 

 

Edit: Fail! That's clearly a Volvo!

 

Try again:

I have had a few D series Fords but never one with headlamp wipers like this one has---

We got ourselves a convoy!

Can only find this on Facebook. Four minutes of what looks like it may have been a trucker's funeral procession on the motorway.

How uber rare must this be? Looks like a MAN (same cab) but it's actually a Saviem, possibly the only one left in this country as there were never very many to start with and they rotted badly. It's recently emerged from restoration after being barn stored since 1994 with just 70,000km on the clock.

It was the standout from this year's Gaydon Truck Show (held on Shitefest weekend). Plenty more photos from there in my Flickr album.

Awww isn't it cute?

[busmansholiday]

This was at Wakefield yesterday.

I bet you could get it to do a forwards roll if you stood on the brakes hard enough.

Not to mention directional stability of a supermarket trolley with a dodgy castor.

These were at the truck grand prix at the Nurburgring last week.

Just dropped some stuff off at Sheerness docks and in a lay-by nearby sit these ex Channel Island beauties

 

[puddlethumper]

A P reg DAF skip wagon still working and a Y reg something that I can't remember what.

 

 

Unfortunately no pic of a 90/91 Scania tractor that I saw today with  a trailer loaded up.

Looked like it was working. Surprised the hell out of me coming the other way.
