Who’s trailer is this?
DSC04594Originally uploaded by benners10
Right, this trailer has been sat next to Bob Dunn Way as you come from Erith heading back up the A206 to the Dartford Tunnel, its in a little yard type thing with some containers and an old Foden, on the marshes with lots of horses in the field. You know where i mean if your familiar with that area. Can anyone tell me who owns that little yard and the trailer please? I did speak to a man in there a few years ago but he never rang me back, so now i wan to try again, so any leads will be much appreciated. Email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk

Well done Brian and thanks.
Just Delicous!
I thought this looked amazing and mean. Just moving the headlights down onto the bumper (like all european trucks) makes a massive difference to the trucks looks. Job well done.
The Perfect House?
Perfect HouseOriginally uploaded by benners10
Could this be the perfect house for our sorts? What an excellent design. Just imagine a garage attached to your house big enough for your loved one (and the wife!!)
Of all places this house is in Japan and apparently the Peterbilt is the only 379 Peterbilt in the whole of the land of the rising sun. Lucky beggar!
Signwriting or Stripes??

This is a better photo of the cab. I’ve always thought of putting stripes on the side of the cab, but now the name board is up, i really have changed my mind, i think it has to be signwritten now. What do you think? Got an idea, email me at, ben@truckblog.co.uk

Looking for a new truck?????
Looking for a new truck for the new year? Something second-hand for about £80-£90k?
Click on the link below and have a dream…………… Panelite are the main manufacturer’s of decorative marker lights in the USA. When you see there amazing trucks all lit up with orange lights, more than likely they are Panelite’s. A few years back i tried to set up a UK branch, i even went out to the US to see them, but in the end they wouldn’t sell the products to me for a low enough price, bugger!
Anyway click the link to see your dream truck; http://www.panelite.com/Portals/0/07_Showtruck-Sales-Sheets-KW.pdf
Or click here, then select a truck from the show truck sales sheet list; http://www.panelite.com/Default.aspx?tabid=94
