A picture a day

[alfa_man]

Here’s what happened when we made the mistake of trusting the main dealer to do a repair properly

On the plus side i did get to listen that big V8 purr all the way from Stainmore to Darlington, and a night out in a hotel made a nice change.

The scania i normaly drive.

The cold and lonely Highway 60 heading down from Le Pas, Manitoba, Canada back in 2007.
I found flat deck work more varied in some ways than the reefer work i do nowadays but it was brutal in winter.
When i took the picture it was -30degc and i had stopped to clear snow from the back lights, ect.

Yep, thats better. Lol.

Obviously a veteran and highly trained parcelman, the fragile stuff is under everything else. Nice to see the standards being upheld.
Regards Kevmac47.

As i said earlier, its better for it to be underneath than perched on the top where it would fall forward the first time the driver braked. Chances of it being fragile were pretty slim anyway

That truck is built by a one-man-band wrecker builder, name of Steve Young, trades as Syren Recovery Systems.
He builds some proper monster wreckers, trucks that put the big-name wrecker builders to shame.
Having seen this one of Alans in action, it is sone phenominal bit of kit.

Steve Young has just finished building our latest wrecker, with the same gear as the one of Alans in the picture.
Just putting it into paint now.

Err, HOW?

An educated guess would be that, thats is a Medite box being loaded at a British sugar factory. An 85 DAF with a lifting 5th wheel. Strange looking bit of kit.

Got a little bit dirty aftertrip through the Rockies.

[newmercman]

And here it is all shiny in Chicago at the start of the trip that made the poor thing all dirty, the more observant will notice a different trailer, well that’s because I swapped over to the box van in Vancouver after taking the reefer down to North Carolina, reloading for Fort McMurray, Alberta and then going to Vancouver via Calgary, all in all a 7500mile trip.
