If you know your earth moving machines...

...there was a Cat 992G loader being moved down the M3 yesterday.
Had forgotten how big they were.

992G, you say...?

Some gigantic machines being carried south down the M40 on Tuesday evening.

Bit excessive to use it as a bog roll holder though isnt it.

My Dad had to buys tires for 6 of these or similar, they were using them on the Chap Lap Kok island levelling exercise!



For the UK that is quite a big truck.

Are they expecting some bad weather on the S Coast if they getting all that equipment ready.

Think it was one of those last ones I saw on a couple of lorries on the M40.

They're quite amusing! It's like when you were a kid and you mixed your scales of toy cars

Nah - this is Heather Mills...

I hope he got the 83s. Apparently the 84s ruin the ride.

I could not stand kids who did that it used to really annoy me. It also used to annoy me that matchbox sized lorries were not the same scale as the cars. On reflection I may have been slightly autistic

Nice kit.

The Israeli army use Caterpillar D9's to flatten Palestinian houses if they don't like the people who live in the property.

Is this actually real?! Every time I see it I think it's fake, it's got to be fake, right?

I get irrationally annoyed by kids' play sets that you see in toy shops etc, where, for example, in the 'Airport' set, the Boeing 747 is dwarved by the helicopter, which in turn would be crushed by the airport bus. WTF!? And don't get me started on the building site sets....
