Little & Large
Not a lot to report from Turkey, while the boss was on holiday. Although this tidy pair of tankers were sat together. Both part of the same firm, but not for the same delivery points you’d hope!
Top Spot by Froggers the Secret Perv!
Rich claims he found this by accident, yea ok. You can see it on Google earth, just off Avenue de la Gironde, Grande Synth Estate, Dunkerque. Its in the corner where the D265 meets the A16. According to Google Earth measurements the tank is 61 metres long and 7.50 metres wide. Good spot you old perv!
Double Dumper, Ramm & Fumpaaa
2 of 5 TR100’s we moved the other week from Newhouse to Southampton. Picture taken by the expert photographer Mrs Sue Rammmmmmmm. Fumpa was in SW02 HCW for the week while the Titan had an MOT and wheel paint! All 5 machines moved without a problem.
How Picturesque!
Taken by the driver, a certain Mr T Nunn, Today at Felixstowe. Truck looks as good as ever and a blue sky with a crane makes for a tidy picture, nice one!
Loaded Truck Drag Racing!
I love this. If you’ve got the balls to do this with your truck then good on ya! The possiblility of killing your wagon must be huge. All the same it is a great sight and i’m sure its a great day out, Canada some where i think. I dont think they have heard of the phrase “Carbon Footprint”. Lets bring it on over here in the UK, i’m sure we can find a hill some where, preferably near the UK’s largest stock of drive shafts!
6 New R480’s for Wilsons

All have been supplied over the last year. 2 are low height, 6×2 midlifts, 3 are Low height, 6×2 twinsteer units, the 6th is a 6×2 tag axle rigid, coupled with a low height 3 axle a-frame drawbar trailer, alreaady owned by Wilsons but fully refurbed to fit the new truck.
Recently Restored 111
This beauty is the hard work of Fred Everiss and a few friends. Fred worked for Gilder for 18 years so has good reason to have this lovely 111 painted in the maroon livery. Fred has also sent me some pictures of the 111 in its earlier life. Originally a dutch truck it has some good international history so i’ll try and get the pics of that on here too. Good work Fred, keep it up!
Restored 111
Off to Norway


Arnie off to Norway today. Shipping Immingham to Brevik, then tipping Friday hopefully to a little island near Haugesund, called Hoylandsbygdi. The load is 3.50m wide and will be under escort from Brevik to delivery point. The load is Crane sections for a shipyard. Hopefully Arnie will get some pictures along the way that i may just be able to share with you at a later date. No re-load yet so if anyone can help let me know! ben@truckblog.co.uk
