<Auto censor dodge removed by Admin>

=============================
Mod's edit:

FYI:
The rule is... type whatever you like, then leave the auto censor to do its work.

There's a clue in the name.... the auto censor is, err... automatic and doesn't need any help, or people inventing 'dodges'.

What is it? Answers on a postcard please

It's a CCC Nahang. Nahang means 'whale' in Farsi (Persian). CCC built them specially for export to Iran, where they were popular because they were strong. They had Cummins 290s in them and 9-speed Fuller gearboxes and were 6x4 a standard. Bit basic but I wouldn't mind driving one!

I had never heard about CCC before! I reckon that the model specially built for Iran was produced prior to 1979? Can't think of the Ayatollahs ordering trucks from the Yankees...

Not a close friend of Iran , 2 CCC used in Israel.

More common back in the day, MOT failure as well if obscuring vision line, we once had a driver who had a 2ft long tiger led across the dash he was told in no uncertain manor get it gone out of there, we are a reputable transport company not a fricking circus, Buzzer

[windrush]

We had two lads on Tilcon who had all manner of stuff on the dash and stickers and flags all across the screen, as fitters at every test we had to remove it all and then they replaced it again afterwards. I asked one of them why and he replied that "cabs look like an army [zb] without some form of decoration" and this was a chap in his fifties, not a youngster. The most I ever had was a sunstrip.

I don't know the company but the colour scheme, marroon and red, was exactly what Hedley Shaw's from Stapleford was before Charlie Dormer took over and everything turned green. So my first glance really did stir a memory.

Tuesday June 30th 2020. This UPS Iveco van is parked at the top of Standishgate in Wigan town centre.
It is usually there for a long time, as the driver is able to deliver many parcels and packages to lots of
shops and offices without the need to move the van, the area being a traffic free location, apart from
deliveries and collections. The pedestrians to the left are in the " Socially Distancing " queue for the
Halifax Building Society, and those behind the van are queueing for the Natwest Bank.

If John West from Barrow sees this picture, it may remind him of his favourite " 2nd Gear Hillstart "
location on his way to a timber yard the other side of town.

Cheers, Ray.
