What about this beauty 1963 B model Mack still cracking on.
arthc.com.au/videos/other-g … oy-youtubeVery nice, Oily, I love the way he has greyed out the number plate but not the motto. Best one I ever saw on a truck was also Australian ‘The Wombat, Eats, Roots and leaves’.
Only really works if you know what a wombat is and its diet, and also what the word ‘root’ means in Australian slang.
I believe it was stolen and modified by a lady author called Truss, no not that one. Lyn not Liz.
Indeed. “Eats, shoots and leaves”. An interesting book about lack of correct use of commas, apostrophes and grammar in general. A good amusing (really!) read if you wish to brush up on what you were taught at school.
Novelist, playwriter, and radio commentator too.
Very funny lady.
When she wrote the book I think she was a senior writer or perhaps even assistant editor of the New Yorker magazine.

Picked this morning on my usual French forum. Wasn’t the Contractor rather a Scammell model?From what I’ve read, it’s probably ex-Australian Army, see

Thanks! This is what they looked like in the Autralian army (screenshot from your link)
I think that example must be long-retired from the Oz army. Their vehicles are normally well maintained and very tidy. This example…less so it seems!

First is definitely a B-triple, the 2nd is very interesting. I have seen something similar somewhere but can’t remember where or when, but not in Oz.

Called power steering & probably caused by the wight of the bike hanging off the back end.
Don’t let Dennis see that sheeting

Would be nice having to brake hard on those wet roads, the leyland rear end loader we had at shanks was like that, lethal when empty on wet roads or just a couple of skips in it, 18.5 tons empty and it felt like 18 tons were behind the back wheels. When i had to Drive it I’d always pull the compactor and ram right to the front until i got to my first skip. Never seemed legal to me. The Volvo was fine as was the new Daf but the equipment was much lighter and inferior.
