As i dont get out much any more, can some one help?
The other morning while trundling up A14 to work i passed a Silver German Mercedes Atego mini artic, it was liveried up with Airbus on the side and i know they take wings and bits up to Broughton quite a lot. I wasn’t quick enough with my camera, with all you lot on the road can you post some pictures of said Mini Artic on here for me?
Challenge on…

No luck with this one then??

i have a picture of a merc atego rigid, but it aint the same one, this was a prestige car transporter in germany

You might as well post it anyway, i’m quite a fan of Tonka Toys!!

Ive probably got the wrong end of the stick here but are these the ones Mr141 ?

Is this the one? Seen on the M6 on Thursday

no hes meaning the urban artic. 14-18 tonne belhaven have a few up here

Thats the right company Wardg and the right type of ve-hicle, but a saw one with an Atego Tractor unit with matching propee low height trailer, looked the same shape as a normal artic but in slightly minature form!
Defo the right company though, pitty you can see the company name, “Unterwegs” means Underway in German so the slogan on the side mean “Underway for Airbus”.
That doesn’t matter really, but that is a goos spot Wardg, keep your eyes peeled and perhaps next week you’ll see the Atego version!
Do you agree the company name may be Active Cars, as on the coned frot of the trailer?

finally found the pic of the one i saw!

Just found this going through some old photos

I had a dog and they called him **BINGO!!!**This is the little gem i saw on the A14, thats going on the blog.

i saw it last week in the que at killingholme, and remembered your request… :wink:
