Spot the difference between the 2 pictures !

Some good responses,though Charlie is obviously approaching it from a pecuniary angle-5t scrap ally has to be worth a few shillings!
& Buzzer-don’t know if he’s coming or going & I think Suedehead is confusing front wheel drive & rear wheel drive ! Pete: close but no cigar !

Whilst the UK was limited to 32T Gross,20T was the normal payload.However this vehicle operated at 38T carryied 25T by loading 10T on the rigid,15T on the trlr (which was loaded using another unit) & hitching up in the dock.Initially a lot of it’s work was 25 T rubber from Fawley’s Butyl plant to various Michelin & Pirelli factories in Italy reloading 25T chemicals for Romsey w/hse from Turin. It was underpowered & often the “tail wagged the dog”. Thorersen was the preferred ferry crossing as reversing onto the Dragon or Leopard required special skills, patience & several spare pairs of underwear!
The fact that the combined outfit had 48ft of combined bed space also made it attractive for certain light traffics
With the advent of 38T,the advantage ceased & the vehicle reverted to being a 16T 4 wheeler-albeit in it’s solo roll somewhat overpowered!

With all the posed pictures,we should have one of the vehicle actually doing something !

IIRC weren’t they originally Regent fuel tankers which you cut down & then they were reborn as Bridge Tractor units?

Richard, You may prefer this brand new white 3 wheeler instead of that example put on here by Buzzer. Regards, Ray.

I imagine that Mappo`s 3 Wheeler is long overdue for replacement. If he slips me a decent wedge,
I can sort him out with a new one, similar to the models shown below. Regards, Rayy

Good morning Richard.I wasn’t going to mention this. However I think that you could be right.
As we all know Mappo is a bit of a babe magnet. Also when Angie is mentioned he stammers and
goes all dewy eyed. Anyway enough of the gossip. I have a small statement to make. I’m getting a bit
fed up with Buzzer talking about his livestock. I am investing in some myself. Well one to be exact.
Yesterday I was down at the Blue Cross at Hedge End. And I have adopted an elderly West Highland Terrier
Bit of company in me old age. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Charlie you come that close to the Estate Office and I was in and you never called for a cup of tea, also I could have furnished you with another jar of pickled shallot’s not to mention the jam of several varieties, your loss indeed. Just make sure that little dogs lead does not get entangled in the wheels of your gokart on the way to the non working men’s club, Buzzer

PS Richard you could send that Russian girl here if you like and she can help with the farm chores and other things around the Estate, JD.
