JohnnyJohnny,
Here is one to keep PV happy now he has got rid of his Messerschmitt!
Oi Pete! That Messerschmitt has feelings too… and it might have been gutless, it sure was bulletproof!

Another Scania for you Johnny, I prefer the R series than the new generation, mind you I said I preferred the 3 series when the 4 series came out! (NMP)
This surely must keep Johnny awake at night! 
4 series was the last proper one, with that bunk above the windscreen, R series, complete waste of money…

Ain’t you tipped yet? You will gain an Essex accent if you are there much longer!
Still in… er… horizontal mode mate, but they told me it’s going to happen today, fingers crossed eh…
Might as well adapt that Essex accent, as no one here knows what I’m on about!

Electric cattle prods? No such luck with Buntine, we had to get down and dirty inside the crate to get them on their feet. Best way with reluctant customers was to blow up their noses. They hated that and soon scrambled to their feet to get their revenge. That was when the mad scramble up to the top of the crate began.
Nice pictures and story though, that was a company I was not familiar with. I see we get another view of the dreaded cyclist killer (right turn hand turn handle on driver’s door) though not so much of a problem in the outback.

It’s great mate, drives like a dream and pulls like a train! It’s not a 750 like yours, but I’m quite happy to have a 500 again (remember the old orange one I had
And the bunk is great, haven’t slept that good for years!
It does use a lot of ad-blue though, much more than the Merc… Are you still having problems with It? My old man drives one as well, at three years old, the cilinderhead was replaced because one of the valves went belly up…
Good you like it and as you say the bed is great evan if i dont sleep in my that mutch now days.
Well i have had and still having some problems yes but still its a great machine i wouldnt have an another one. I tell you some day but we have had al kinds of troubble with mine. Bit our other 750 is good and our 2 550 is also great and no major problems.

I haven’t been on-line for ages but it has been good to catch up with all your Heavy-Haul posts. Thanks to everyone. I don’t know if this has been on before. I came across this the other day. It’s a Le Tourneau that was built for the US Army in 1962. It grossed 150 tons with all it’s trailers, although this is all that is left at the Heritage Centre of the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona.
Probably the same kind of grocery we had in our cupboards when I lived in London in the late sixties. Thanks for showing us this interesting vehicle, with good pictures.

I hadn’t heard of the Diamantina transport company Deano but I can lay claim to being bogged for 5/6hours in the river on Diamantina Lakes Station.
I had an RMWilliams cattle prodder Spardo but preferred a leafy stick,getting down to blow in their nostrils sounds like a pretty risky operation.
