Saviem's fan club (Part 2)

Got some weight on there.
I don’t remember seeing trailers with caterpillar tracks before.

I do mean un-driven trailers, not the type that are powered. (Bandvagn 206) I am assuming the trailers are not driven here? It would be very advanced if they were.

Also I notice that the first 3 log heights are chained separately before the others top them off. An interesting picture, I wonder how far they travelled like that. :thinking:

The info is really scarce on it, if the trailers were driven, it must have been quite high-tech stuff for it’s day, as it looks to be in the 1910s-1920s?

Good point! Considering they only had dirt roads as A roads, what would the rest look like?

A car that should have been fitted with a V8!:wink:

Whippersnapper….

My problem with getting on to TN is getting worse. I can’t even get on now with my own andriod tablet, I’ve had to borrow M2s, (she’s not happy) to post this.

I’ve had advice from Johnny and Froggy, tried all their suggestions and a few more off the net as well to no avail… I’m not computer literate, but l have tried my best, not sure if there is a moderator that can help, if not then l reckon that’s it, no more photos

I will just have to look in now and then to see what’s going on, but it’s not the same as posting pics.

Give us a ring when you get some spare time.

Narrow solid tyres wheels will soon make mess of most surface with that much weight on them. I wonder if the steering was purely by the front wheels? Or separate brakes on the rear drive tracks?
Do modern tractors still have the possibility of braking the rear sides differently.

Parsley washes whiter - use it all the time, cheaper than detergient.

Talking of which, I actually DO use white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner. Used it for years. Just pour half a cup in the conditioner tray of your machine and it not only sanitises and freshens up your washing - no stain, no smell - but it keeps your washing machine clean and naturally sanitised too! Cheap, cheerful and highly effective.

Don’t forget: you learned it on TruckNet!

White vinegar costs a lot less than branded de-scalers. Use it in kettles, percolators etc.

I put some beer dregs, and stale ciggie butts into the conditioner slot when washing clothes to get that authentic “hairy arsed trucker” type of aroma, so that even when the egg and tomato-sauce stains are washed out of my t-shirt I am still mistaken for a driver.

Not sure what this is, a guess at Bernard.

Where is that? I could easily believe Northern France, but it appears to be a Belgian number plate?

Belgium indeed, which looks very similar to Northern France.

orthern France.
