Some Oldies
There were loads of oldies at Assen, Mainly Scania’s and DAF’s. Here are a few.
The DAF below was a cracker. The trailer had twin steering axles, an old flower trailer fully converted to a full camper with beds kitchen and sitting room!
More Assen Pics
We stopped at the last services before Assen, to do some top perving on the Friday morning;
Among others this little beasty came in to the services. I’m still not a big fan of these tribal graphics, but the truck was so so smart, lots of little details that made it a guess. It did look smart with all its lights on at the show.
Once we got to the show these were a few of the first trucks we came across.
This Volvo caught my eye. I like the 40’s style and i also like the way it has been airbrushed with paint cracks and rubs and rust runs in the paint work, it actually looks a lot better than it sounds!
The Boss has Just Nipped Out for a Minute
GW popped out to grab a couple of pictures of these 3 HC Wilson trucks on the A14. The drums are 4.30M diameter and weigh about 35 Ton each. These 2 are the first of many heading to Harwich, so they will be a regular site on the A14, A12 and A120 over the next few weeks. Good picture, i also blame the camera for the slight blur!!
When Could this Have Been Taken???
Could have been taken a few years back couldn’t it?? Just part of the line up from Assen oldtimers section.
Forget Horse Power try Cow Power
I know as much as you lot! I have no idea whats going on apart from Cow power seems to be the new horse power!! I think it must be compfier in the cab rather than sitting in the engine bay!
Nice. Lopik Show NL
I like this one very smart, deep visor looks good. This was taken at the Nog Harder show at Lopik in Holland. A small show that is always the weekend after Assen. Only 150 trucks but all trucks are tip-top! Photos courtesy of v8power.nl, visit the site for everything dutch V8
What can you say to that?!?!?
I dont know what this is, but i like the picture! Perhaps she’s the best looking lady driver or perhaps she’s a Scania saleswoman, perhaps in what ever country that is she comes free with the truck!! Any ideas then email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk, think of it as an upmarket Well Boss……….
Scania Beers
After a lovely overnight stay at De Lichtermans Routier, we popped back down the road a mile or 2 to try and get the trucks washed at Scania Beers just north of Zwolle. But due to a large que of trucks in desperate need of washing we were declined, although they did tell us of a coach wash near by that we went to and got a wash down.
Tekno Tekno Tekno
After arriving in Rotterdam we went round to the Tekno model factory for a nose about there little shop/museam. Officially it is only open to the public on Saturdays but we were welcomed as we hadf come from England and they liked our “cars” so much. If you have some time on your hands it is worth a visit. They have 1 of every model they have ever produced on the shelves and a new country by country museam just being built upstairs which we were given a sneak preview of.
