nz2 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thats an interesting point as to the origin of the name. So they are British but interstellar, vintage yes, so therefore fit into this forums sections as; arms; British vehicles; and tracked vehicles. ( can't remember if they had tracks underneath them for manoverability outside) And if they floated as well try it in a naval section!

Lord Burley Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 always amazed me how fast thos tippers were and how well they handled even with several yards of ballast in the back,plus I love spotting the locations as it was filmed close to where I liveNigel That is a classic film. But my father always took the p**s out of it. He had his own haulage firm at the time that film was set. Used to own and run Albion,Mercedes,AEC,and Leyland 6 and 8 wheel tippers. He said it was film for someone who pretended to be a big wheel man.: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
