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.

This was at Wakefield yesterday.

Awww isn't it cute?

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.

What's this?

 

[warninglight]

That's a Shelvoke & Drewry!

Did a magazine feature on a chap in Northern Ireland whose business is hiring out municipal vehicles, and he has a small collection of S&Ds across the years.

Shelvoke & Drewry N series chassis with a Maxipak body (or tailgate) fitted from a P-series.

 

You been to Malta?

It's from Trev's Truck Pics on Facebook. Daily photos of his spots on Malta.
