Hello m8,
Funny you should mention trabants last week i had to collect this fh wagon and drag for us to repair.whilst chatting with the owner he said the best Artic he has had for round timber is his Renault trabant,which replaced a rolled fh.

I encountered possibly this MAN over the Rhigos mountain rd last week, had to park up for half an hour while it climbed to the top as it needed all of the road on the bends.

I bet that thing sucked a lot of fuel through it climbing over the Rhigos mountain Trev.
Cheers Dave.

They close that road on a regular basis now while there putting 90 odd wind turbines on the top, been sat there for an hour some days while they run all the big loads together, bit of a pain for me pulling out of the factory at Treherbert as it’s a long way round via the motorway.
