Couple of mine from work:

Cable trailer and "The Thing"



Transformer delivery. There was another prime mover in front of the first one, which was removed to get it in the gate. 4 Prime movers in total for a 220T transformer + the weight of the beam set.

some metal there

Spotted in the southeast, it was a LR discovery 1, number plate doesn't make sense to me and it's defo not Irish Army. Guy driving was not very army like and there was a winch & snorkel on the front. Anyone know what country the number plate would be from?

'ZO' is an old Dublin issue - from the 1960's/1970's.

The Discovery body must have been fitted to a 60's/70's Landrover or Range Rover chassis - perfectly legal (once its all done correctly) as the vehicle is insured and registered based on it's chassis number.

I have seen many modern Disco and Range Rover bodies on older chassis/reg plates. Happens a lot in Holland too I have been told.
(He must like 'military green' hence the colour - the Irish Defence Forces never used Discovery's)

Could be a legal conversion but theres plenty of plate swaps.

That's my thinking, bonus points for whoever guesses what the photo was taken from, the crudely painted out black box is a good hint

Remember the Taxi turning out of Auckland airport, heading downtown, and seeing this motorway with Peterbilts, Freightliners and Internationals , great sight, and quite surreal. Happy times.

Did you buy something nice for yourself for Christmas?

I actually made the deal in February. Only got to pick it up now. A good bit of work in it also.

Sorry about quality.
Volvo L150 or 180 (can't recall) v 12 tonne bus.
Man standing under bus next to trailer. Before i took this one of the forks burst the diesel tank spilling diesel everywhere and bus started waivering in the air. 3 buses loaded the same way that day.

A wee bucket for a 120 zaxis



D11R getting transmission and final drives changed out for reconditioned components



200t axle stands under the rear end of a 789C

There doesn't seem to be much going on in here! Where's the pics lads and lassies?

New wagon on trial on site

The old F12 is the bees knees. I love them, they were years and years ahead of the competition at the time.

There's one earning a crust here in Perth, I see it pulling an old tandem tipping trailer

seen this a few times near Baldoyle driving but finally managed to snap it yesterday. Lovely looking truck but probably way too young to have done the middle east

I don't remember if i posted this before.

This is the wagon I drove the most when I had first gotten my rigid licence



1978 Scammell Crusader. 290 RollsRoyce and a 9 speed Fuller with 4th and 5th back to front

Slow haha

Flat out on the foot throttle was about 48mph and you could squeeze another 1 or 2 with the hand throttle

I did like driving it though, crash box was a challenge when towing an 8 wheeler

I'm at a loss as to the make. Maybe a Transcontinental?

Anyone know better?

I don't think it's a Foden. They were mostly Fibreglass cabs with a full length grill

ERF maybe? Like this. Not a truck expert just a random search of old models.

He got the bull bar second hand from cork during the week. The bumps were in it. Hard yolk to put on as bonnet will have to open

Does it hinge down for the bonnet?

A wee engine job on in the workshop
