It has had the desired effect, you have proved that by your post, so how many more will notice it.
Good advertising technique to get your co. noticed I reckon.

Yep know exactly what your saying and agree, just not the sort of name Iā€™d fancy driving around advertising :open_mouth:

I think thatā€™s the wind turbine transport side of Give Svaergods heavy haulage. They are a Danish outfit but have a yard in Uddingston

This. Another example is Bumble Hole Eggs! Once seen never forgotten

Itā€™s just like the vans you see knocking about with ā€˜Fussey Pillingā€™. Never mind double, I had to do a treble take at that!

Until the middle of last year we were called ISIS. Now renamed and fleet livery changed to OPEX (OPerational EXcellence).

Hadnā€™t noticed that. Guessing the drivers got fed up with the jokes about bombs in the trailers, would not have been the cheapest thing to rebrand from no fault of the owners.

Itā€™s barely funny the first time but after a while itā€™s just boring. Same with the the folks who wanted photos.

Reminds me of the guy in the US who sold his pickup to a dealer then photos of it being driven by ISIS with his company livery on surfaced on the net, and he got a whole lot of hell from idiots who seemed to think he sold it to Bagdhadi himselfā€¦

Good advertising i reckon.
Last week around the Norwich area was a van with NDB Autos emblazoned across the sides, obviously made anyone look twice seeing as the font of the D looked like an Oā€¦

Long long changed from PLM to ISIS if I remember .

I havenā€™t seen it for some years, but there was a large boxvan, might have been a pantechnicon, about with the signing in massive letters on the side of the body.

Think there was some kind of buy out about 7 or 8 yrs ago roughly .

Some of the sewage/cess tankers are funny. Something like ā€œWe take ā– ā– ā– ā–  so you donā€™t have toā€ or words to that effect :laughing: :laughing:

Did you hear a bell tolling in the distance and tumbleweed blowing past in the howling wind, with the grim reaper standing in the background. :smiley:
