There's quite a few knocking about, Mick Gould has got a lovely collection of trucks. Plus, NYR in Kent and not forgetting Dorking Autos who supplied his Peterbilt for my dad's funeral procession a few years back.

NYR's "The Bear"

How exactly did that get detached from the truck ?

On a similar theme i saw a much smaller fridge unit detach itself from a 7.5 and the

fridge was basically only connected to the lorry by the hoses and was leaning on the railings

on an overbridge of the M23.

Shame no pics.

Go past NYR in Snodlands a lot, he always has a fine collection of yank recoveries in his yard. Plus I did see another yank recovery truck parked up on a country road not far South of Greenhithe. Not sure if it was a Mick Gould or not?

I believe that's a Cat C15 with 625bhp & 2050lb ft

[grumpy52]

The race trucks 10 years ago were doing 1750 bhp 2500lbs /ft quicker than a cossie to 100mph

[chilistrucker]

Have you lot seen that shock wave truck in America???
Something daft like 10000bhp
