I have lived in a rural area all my life, but that’s the first M A N tractor I’ve seen.

There was a MAN tractor at Llandudno, Dave, but I didn’t get a shot of it. MAN were up to all sorts of engineering in years gone by, including tractors and engines for marine and airship use.

Yes I realised that Casey, just surprised I haven’t seen one before.
Cheers Dave.

There ya go- I’ve managed to see two in as many months!

Hi Casey & Pete,
The sun was that bright, we couldn’t get a rear of the cab photo because of the reflection,shame really.
Cheers Dave.


This bloke was a proper lorry driver,just by the way he handled the unit, and the cut of him,no shirt. Looked a proper older up the road type,nothing flash about him.

No credit to me for the pics Pete, my camera person takes the pics, except for a few that I occasionally take on my phone.
Cheers Dave.
