Locolines

Why does the advert that flashes up at the top of the page that advertises motorcycles keep changing? It doesn't give me a chance for a proper gander :whistle:

Seriously though I can't believe the fella is standing in the loco still. Brave ,or mad , or is it that he knows he is safe with a Jimmy?

My guess is that the Loco weights a little more than the 2 1/2 tons the USA stamped on the truck !! Guessing nearer 10 tons ?

Just damn good trucks...

Oh Yes it is !

Great picture! but, Where's the fuel tank ? Or is the GMC now steam powered !

Seems all good here.

thankyou for your efforts

I tried too, to no avail. I would measure mine, but being a dump truck they might be different to yours ?

That's a good post ! Thank you.

Greetings

Bienvenue et bonjour mon ami.

you will enjoy it here

I think he means that 5 people , each paying for a gallon will give them a 40 mile range at the estimated 8 mpg

Good grief

Ahoy there . Welcome in

Apache choppers fly nearly everyday over north Benfleet normally travelling NE then returning in the afternoon.

I do hope it flys again

Yes but don't overdo it because he may say.......... It's too much trouble to get it out.

anyway good luck with it

It would be kind of funny if you past someone in a Horch heading the otherway towards the English channel....

I bet that's actually happened !

Has he given you a price yet ? If not don't go down there with all the tools coz he will know your on the hook. Personally I would go down the " it's a shame to see it that way, but look at it !" Approach first ...

but that just me !

Hey , don't forget those vacuum wipers if it pours down !

Yes , you gotta love the rumble of a V8

Welcome in. Grab that matador !

That's the ticket !

Welcome in

A Dodge 6x6 ? I can see your reasoning but were they not under-powered for the size ? (I truly do not know as I have only read a couple of bits about the 6x6) Obviously a 6x6 has more room so would be better in that respect.

 

The other thing I should mention is that I have no intention of trying to live and survive like a G.I.

The US troops and the Brits, Canadians etc had a tough time of it and all I am looking to do is go to some of the places they went.

I know some think it 'all part of the fun' but all we are doing is going on the trip to pay our respects to them, not to try and replicate the hell a lot of them went through.

With that in mind, as I said, we will stay in hotels and accommodation in the evenings and we will also be putting in some better seating/cushions in what ever vehicle we choose but wont be cutting the vehicles about, just making sure people are comfortable(ish...) and safe (as mentioned, better lighting etc)

 

Now, as far as MPG goes for a GMC 353, WC 4x4 and a WC 6x6, what would would average at a sensible speed ?

More curious than important really.

This sound more and more like the making of a multi vehicle road run in the making........who's up for it :cheesy:.......

Could well be ..... Safety in numbers too.
