My own truck, and my work "ute" a 4.2 6cyl non turbo diesel, pulls over 4t of trailer & water tank all day through fields without any kind of struggle, also has on board air & helper airbags on the back.

Great pics Cheensbo.
Any idea what the truck is in the background in this one?

Its an international cant remember the model number, but its a 130hp, an 83 or 84 model i think

Unfortunately i cant get a better pic (dont work there anymore

)

Its an Iveco. They are used as refuse trucks, concrete and agregate delivers and the likes.

Previously they would have been badged as International afaik

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.

Great pics lurching - well spotted!

Not much in the way of ballast on the Volvo - were they all like that?

Lurching · 11-12-2013 11:59am

That grey Volvo was the only one carrying tools and other bits and pieces to move the tranny the last 200m. The other 3 prime movers were carrying a significant amount of concrete.
30kph top speed on the straights. 3 cop cars over 3 nights to do just over 120km from Newcastle to Sydney.

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.

NATO matt green covers a multitude of sins!

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

Some pics from New Zealand

Didn't take many others really, might get a few in the morning before I leave. Most common set up here is 8x4 rigid with a 4 axle drag. A few 8x4 units pulling 4 axle trailers

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.

I was in NZ about five years ago, think some of my pics are waaaaaaaaayyyyy back up this thread. Loved it there, real mixture of european, US and Jap built trucks. Also good to hear so many V8 engines in pick ups and cars! Even my sister's Camry was a V6.
