Heh. My Dad used to drive an Atkinson 6-wheeler with a Gardner 180 engine. I think Chuck Norris would have pee'd his pants if faced with it. -- Halmyre

Judging by the standard of non-HGV drivers I came across in my HGV driving career, I'd say that there were far more none HGV dribbling inbred fuckwits than HGV driving ones. Visit any food factory and the number of non-HGV driving dribbling fuckwits outnumbered the HGV ones 100:1. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally. |
