komatsu 450:

one from your area pete359 taken today

hi anthony,
funny you should post that picture :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: as i took pretty much the same one :laughing: ,to be fair to him,there was no damage to the unit (as far as i could tell) and as he’s a regular visitor to holland and germany he would be no more than 4 mtrs.high,a bit less time he dumped the air on the trailer.so i guess our polish friend just about scraped through undamaged :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses: i can’t be the first person to wonder why was half of the bloody south wales police force in attendance?
regards andrew.

hiya,
There’s only one Harry Gill believe me and he’d live on the dole rather than turn out to be lumbered with an 80 thing.

Heres a link to a video of a certain Welsh Peterbilt out cruising during a recording for the Convoy themed 2011 Steelboys run video. Who is going to be first to identify the area it was filmed? [clue: its not Arizona]

Volume is required for best effect.
