Sleepless night, so was roaming around and came across this forum. To kick start my posts here i thought i'd start with one of my Navara.

what lid is that you have on the back ?

Cass · 11-05-2010 10:16pm

Its a Pegasus.

They were not in the country in 2007, only just starting to import. I got my Nissan dealer to ring them up and send one over. I'm a firm believer in, if a jeep is a pick-up it should look like a pick. Its my 2nd Navara. Great job. Will probably go for another one (when it starts raining money)

The lid is 2 stage. It lies down on the body, but also pulls fully up, level with the roof. There are 4 locking pins on the scissor arms holding it in place. The company give a guarantee of 300+kg load limit at 60mph without collapsing. All in it cost €2800. Seen as how the Nissan one was €1800 and had 2 chicken leg struts holding it up the choice was an easy one.

Cass · 16-05-2010 8:38pm

When i bought it Cartman they were only new, so like all things they most likely have come down in price since.

Shouldn't be as expensive as when i bought.

101sean · 16-05-2010 8:38pm

Very nice Slidey. Just been reading in Earthmovers that Scania have upped the power stakes overtaking Volvo, they now do a 730hp model for heavy haulage.

Just back from a Military show at the Curragh, will post up some heavy metal later.

Saw this "friendly" looking old truck in Cuba last week

(unfortunately, herself in charge of camera ...so no nice detailed shots I'm afraid

)

101sean · 16-05-2010 11:14pm

Nice one. Guessing at an International looking at the grill but could be totally wrong.

Heard that alright.

There isn't many wedding convoys in Ireland that could boast of that kind of BHP. 660, 620, 580 & 520.

The bride went in the 620 from the church to the reception!

Hermy · 17-05-2010 8:14pm

Two more from MarTrain...

A lovely 6x4 Scania...

How old is this Transporter?

I've seen this one before in the StatoilTopaz Garage...

Just missed this NR locomotive - Bellers as we used to called them...

This old machine is also parked up in Inchicore works...

What's all this then?

This is one of several old millitary vehicles in Collins Barricks...

going by the front suspension he's overweight anyway

elius · 18-05-2010 11:49pm

Had the pleasure of being in the company of this today whilst on demonstration very impressive machine and at circa 32k GBP will be a cheaper alternative to a mog. With locking front centre and rear differential along with low range box they are extremely capable. Iveco daily 4x4

Hermy · 19-05-2010 10:37pm

A bit more Mar-Train...:o

101sean · 20-05-2010 7:42am

A few from last weekend at the MVCI show at the Curragh

DAF YA126, 109FFR and my 101

Ultimate breakdown wagon, FV434 REME fitters APC

One woman driver you don't criticise! FV432 APC

Hagglunds BV206 Radar vehicle

Cavalry Mowag Pirahna APC

Citroen Mehari

Landsverk armoured car

101sean · 20-05-2010 8:00am

A few more.

Immaculate ex AFS Green Goddess in Dublic Civil Defence livery

Dublin Civil Defence ex British Army Bedford MK with comms body

Line up of vehicles from IMVG

Steyr Puch Pinzgauer. The latest version of these replaced the 101 in service

Ex AFS Austin Gypsy. Fleet of these sat in a heated hanger for 30 years until release in the 90s

Finally, looking faintly ridiculous, is the Defence Force's new Pajero

cian1500ww · 25-05-2010 9:16pm

Probably one of the finest restored vintage Porsche tractors in the country:

Our local tractor club:

Builderfromhell · 02-06-2010 11:16pm

In the line up of vehicles in the Curragh above (post no. 146), does anyone know what he vehicle on the extreme left is? It seems to have a UN flag on it.
Looks beautiful, like a desert jeep.

101sean · 03-06-2010 12:17am

It's an ex Irish Army Acmat VLRA (built in France). Originally bought to do the same job as my 101 as a gun tractor, they were last used as a gunbus for patrolling in Somalia.

hunter164 · 04-06-2010 12:01am

Truck Show on in Athlone this weekend if anyone's interested.
