Can imagine your biggest fear is making a mistake, when half the country is watching
Well Whippersnapper, you’ll never get anyone silly enough to give you a go in a Scammell with all those gear levers, you wouldn’t know where to start.
However, there is hope, our friend Johnny has had this T shirt made up especially for you, if you’re very good and practice a lot with a cut down broom handle and an old on/off light switch to simulate a manual gearbox, then someone may give you a chance to have a drive in an old ERF…perhaps.

Is it you that’s going to wear that T-shirt Senior? Because if I remember correctly, it wasn’t me that was strugling to get it in gear in that Volvo F12
Don’t come up with excuses like “the one I had was a older model and had a 4 over 4 gearbox with the splitter button mounted on the dash”… There’s actual proof of you gazing over the gearlever

Dave,
I think the Scammell Patrick was on about would be the Scarab!
I also believe he thinks you was pulling his pi$$er when you said there was a separate lever for the splitter on the dash, the only thing on his dash is a copy of readers wives and the trucks handbook just incase he gets confused with the attached image! Anon 1
After the NYC visit we bounced down to the port at Savannah, Georgia and loaded a 982M CAT shovel. 120,000lbs GVW, 11’6" wide and 14’5" high on the trailer, it’s going 3,000miles or so up to Ft McMurray, Alberta, the home of the Alberta Oil Sands where the dinosaur juice oozes out of the ground.
They have some seriously huge machinery and the trucks to haul it up there, I’ll get some on film hopefully.

Nah mate, only thing on my dashboard is a copy of the latest “how to be a trucker”…
And for attached image… you’ve got to think of it as a little gearlever, you know, the ones they use in fancy sports cars…

I drove Iveco trucks fitted with a Fuller Gearbox, and remember the pattern was quite similar. Pleasant to use.

Superb. I want a shirt like that. Do you have any in Small, or are they all aimed at the Fuller figure?
