I think I did post this picture some time ago. It’s a pre-WW II Henschel with a certainly in-line 8 cylinder engine. I didn’t find more about that engine. At that time, the German looked very fond of long noses: MB, Büssing, Vomag, etc… Nevertheless, it’s unlikely their power exceeded 160 bhp.

Good evening all I have not posted on here for a while but came across this picture on FB and thought it worthy for your perusal and thoughts, cheers Buzzer
Looks very impressive indeed! I’ll bet even “Scanny Man” aka Herr Sutherland would like to get his hands on one of these…
And what about reversing around the corner with the mighty Henschel? certainly a good opportunity for those who feel obliged to prove they’re genuine MEN!

That’s counted me out then. But quite a challenge nonetheless. Patrick would be right up for it, not that he needs to prove he’s a genuine man with the exploits he gets up to. Mind you, Pete and Fergie may have a different opinion…

Would love to have a go in that old beast! But I already can hear the comments of the “oldtimers” on here… “you don’t know you’re born”, “still wet behind the ears”, “still in nappies” etc.

Does that mean… Johnny won’t be able to have a go in it…?
Bloody hell Patrick, never realised Dave has had the woodshed extended?
All that information he’s not sharing with us Pete… and I thought we were his mates… Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s got a GUY Big J hidden away in that shed too

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for the pic of Fergie,the filling station is on the Penn Rd in Wolverhampton,and he was on his way to Mr & Mrs Pete Smith’s maison to deliver their present, which can be seen on the pannier, he is shipping back Portsmouth to Caen,and here you see a pic of his ladies awaiting his arrival at Ouistream.
Unfortunately due to misguided financial dealings with a chap in Germany called Johnny,who I guess hacked into his Trucknet user name, the property was repossessed and they are now living in this mobile home.
