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!!

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!!

En route to Kristiansund on the coast about halfway up Norway. A few bits for a ship from Gt Yarmouth.
The driver and picture taker, Mr Richard Arnold, said he pulled up on the main road, got out took some pics, got back in the truck and carried on, in the mean time not one car passed him. Just imagine what it must be like to drive along a main road during the day with no traffic………………. Some thing you’ll never experience here in the UK!!

Off to Oz

After 4 days of pressure washing and belts removed, this screener is off to Southampton to hopefully emigrate to the other side of the world. For those of you who dont know, any machinery, plant, vehicles or any thing else for that matter heading to Austrailia has to be spotlessly clean in order to gain entry. This screener will come off the boat in Oz, be put into quarantine in the port, be washed down, and if any dirt comes off of it, it runs the risk of being put straight back on the boat to come back to the UK for more washing!
