Ancient brits heading east!

Ringrose:
Yes, that red and black Atki does look like the same one that has met it’s end on the Willhire Rental Trailer, maybe someone can confirm ?
I have a picture of an abandoned Ford Transconti - CrisToni of London , I am sure some of you drivers saw it out there ?
Some of those trucks are a bit questionable for such a long journey…it is almost as if anything that moved was pressed into service ! And with nonsleeper cabs…
Interesting thread though. :slight_smile:

Is this the Transcon that turned over on the Tapline in Saudi?
I remember talking to an o/d one time in Ramtha while hitching his way home who’s name I believe was Chris.
This particular guy was on his first trip and making the fatal mistake of thinking that the Tapline was dead straight ALL the was down,not so!
There are only a few bends,but when you are driving on autopilot and you come across an unexpected bend and you’re doing over 60,there’s only one end,a rolled Transcon in this case.
