Deuceman Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 A quick heads up to say that the Christmas edition of Commercial Motor magazine will feature a four page Xmas road test where the vehicle being tested is a GMC Tipper from the membership stud of the TVMVT. Paul Bratton of SDC trailers in Mansfield set this up, using Ric Evans's tipper from Nottingham, SDC funding its return to roadworthy status after a period of inactivity due to brake problems, rectified with spares from Rex Ward. Yours truly went along for the day to oversee the conscription of Editor in Chief Brian 'Sarge' Weatherley and provide looks of anguish as he crunched through the gears! It was a great day and having seen the copy from the article, should be a good read too! Pictures were taken by top CM photographer Tom Cunningham, so the illustrations should be worth seeing as well. Attached is a taster pic of Tom's, showing Brian W portraying a lost GI driver "somewhere in Europe" and yours truly providing an injection of youthful good looks! Ok so I'm no spring chicken, but compared to the driver and the truck I'm just a kid! All said, should be a good bit of free publicity for the hobby as well as bigging up SDC and TVMVT! I might even get a name check as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
