My new truck arrived my boss must have too much money

Well if it gets done up, it might be worth a bob or two.

Smith Bros at Widnes F88 went at auction on Saturday morning for £52k. God only knows how much he spent on it, but it looked pretty much like new.

Yer know what they should’ve done. A Ford Transcon with a twin splitter :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Malcolm, make sure he puts in a Big Cam ■■■■■■■■ and a twin splitter.
when its finished, give us a bell, and i`ll be there as its new driver…9some hope)…got tears in me eyes already…

Never had the pleasure of matching the come-apart with a twnsplit, buit I drove a GMC with a 300hp big-cam ■■■■■■■ and an 18 speed eaton-fuller roadranger. And I LOVED IT!!

my boss informed me that my new truck had arrrived but it wont be on the road for a while as it wont pass its mot :laughing: :confused:

that looks like it’s a six wheeler … i had the pleasure of driving a transcon twice , i was only 21 and green as grass , truth be known it was to much for me at that time and i found it scary :open_mouth: it was worse due to it being a dutch spec left ■■■■■■ … far too much for a new driver to take in …

they were rare then , and i count myself lucky to have driven it…

brakes ■■? what brakes ■■ :open_mouth:

Oh yess one night had a sparky wire lights direct to the battery, via a switch taped to the dash to keep me going, never had the studs go though.
