As a certified CSI…may i say that those railings look quite new, and worth a few quid to a local council…or highways authority…just my observation. Hope the driver was ok. just a new n/s mirror, and jobs a good un.

Bit of tracking up on the front steerers wouldn’t go amiss too!
I still use the term 8 legger regularly, also 6 legger when describing a three axle tractor unit. Unfortunately I’m finding it increasingly difficult to shoehorn “Chinese 6” into everyday conversations.

Surprised Chinese six’s are not more common in the UK especially with diminishing loads.

Rare as hens teeth Andrew. You’re right about the diminishing load bit though. Think the last one I saw was a brewery dray motor. Makes sense for them I suppose.
