That is one of my all time favourite photos. It must have been around 75 76 I used to draw it all over my school homework books. I remember it from Truck Magazine, but I always though it was part of a Volvo Ad. The other photo from that era was a Yellow Saviem with a blue Tilt climbing Tahir at sun set.
Most of the other kids in my class read Hulk, Spider man or Shoot. But I read Truck, Headlight, and Commercial Motor and later on Trucking International. I guess in a way I made happen as none of the rest of them ever became super heroes, but I got to driver trucks. ( most days I’m pretty happy about that )
Tip Top if you head out east, South Russia you’ll see TIR plates on most of the trucks coming out of Uzbec, Kaz Tashkent, Kyrgyzstan, I believe China is going to sign up soon, which could change the whole face of things in that area as far as road transport goes.
