Carl:

That Hopeline truck must be overweight on the front axle with the Transcon badges :stuck_out_tongue:

They were a nice truck and everyone hankered after them when they were launched

Here’s a superficially tidy old one still earning money, it’s as it says a mobile welfare unit (canteen / toilet) used on site. Apparently it used to be classed as mobile plant and exempt from test but now rules have changed and it needs testing. As a result we now get to piggy back it.

Sorry to bump this up, but the club has a news release:

I feel it is time to get the club moving again. I am looking into a better forum, and a better way of storing images. There is still a lot of interest out there for Cargo’s, so we need to get the word around.

I must also say sorry for the lack of input my end. This has been due to family circumstances changing and having little/no time to do anything on here. But thats about to change. I will be contacting more people about the club, and I hope I will start getting bits on-line from brochures etc.

Thanks once again for all understanding. If you have any questions, or any suggestions for the site, I will be setting up a post called “New Cargo Club” in the “General Chat” part of the forum.

Thanks to all those who still visit, and thanks to Scotty (previous owner of E757 YYB) for joining and supplying pics.

Chat to you all soon.

Also, has anyone got any more pictures/tales of Cargos they would not mind sharing?

Thanks

I have this photo in my collection. I have no idea who took it (if you did and you want it removing, please let me know)

It looks like it has had an aftermarket cab extention fitted. I know you could get day cabs made into sleepers, but this looks like a sleeper, with one of these aftermarket jobbies on the back too.

In the meantime here are some scanned from 1985 truck drivers handbook with the double apology. The quality of the scanning and the copyright issues.

Cant imagine Argos having V8s these days can you :smiley: :question:
