This unusual load was snapped on the back of a Leicester Heavy Haulage vehicle today. I’ve no idea how they managed to keep the monster in such a little cage! It was en-route to Oxford Street, London for a Christmas exhibition of some sort. They did manage to sheet it, as the Police didn’t want it on view to the Public incase it caused accidents. Contact LHH for all your strange or normal abnormal load needs by emailing them at traffic@hcwilsontransport.com
Yea another Tonka toy, but thi time in the true form of its big brother. This little artic pulls mobile coffee bars around Switzerland for shows and events. The Swiss have always been sufficticated, we still use the back of an ex BT transit to buy our coffee from here in the UK, nothing wrong with it either! Cracking Truck 10 out of 10. I always think it’d be cool to buy a mini artic like this but make it look like a big truck, with bigger tanks a suitably scaled trailer etc etc, but obviously no one will as it’d make it to heavy and kind of defeat the object of buying a light mini artic. Perhaps that an idea for the lottery win list.
As you all know i like a little lorry, although plated at 12 ton its not the smallest, Steve Marsh runs a tidy little tilt all over the continent. Hopefully he’ll keep sending in pictures from his trips past and present. These pics were taken on a trip to Tenerife last year, looks like a good place for a piccie or 2! If your interested or you require Steve’s services (he has vans too), click the link to go to his website. www.stevemarshexpress.co.uk
Had a quick chat with the main man Kevin at Astran yesterday. He says they are still keeping busy. Yesterday they had 2 x Trucks loading in Seville for Qatar, 2 x Trucks in Venice loading for Qatar and 1 x Truck in Holland loading for Saudi. Click Here to go to the new look webpage. While your there you better put your name down on the mailing list to keep up to date with all the goings on.

Yea your right its a 6×6 military thingy! Just had a fresh respray in UN white and its been sprayed everywhere when i say every where, well on the outside any way. Off for another lease of life in Africa some where. Any more details or infor on these Scania’s let me know; ben@truckblog.co.uk
I can’t remember if i have posted this already, i think i probably have. I don’t think there are many times you’ll get a line up like this anymore. Taken at Assen this year, look at the lovely 141 in the background!! I might dig out the color version at some point if i can’t be bothered to see if i have posted it before. Great picture, but would have been awhole lot better if they all had period trailers!!
Another nice picture, looking very tidy with a euroliner this time. I think the red lights are almost a one off in this country, judging by how hard it was to get hold of some, leave it to the dutch and they’ll sort it.
Sent to me by regular contributer, my mate Big Hand, both trucks looking clean and tidy in the Autum sun. Just because its nearly winter is no excuse for a dirty truck! Both sound as good as they look too. Nice picture TN.
I’ve started some thing now haven’t i???????
Looks like an Irish Maguires fridge to me!
Looking at it from the other side its a little clearer. Now for your part, who can tell me who the subbie is on the front? Looks like a Volvo to me. Email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk with your answers.
Update on this, i have just been very reliably informed this was taken in 2005 and is a Seymour Actros heading for a new life in the sun!!
