Stone Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Saw a convoy of the new MAN cargo carriers (GS versions) while sat on the embankment of the M4 near Leigh Delamere waiting for the AA :blush: :cry: Does anyone else think having the ECU cut the fuel supply when it detects low oil pressure is a bad idea? In our case it happened at 70mph in lane 3 while overtaking two artics :shocked: To top it all it looks like it was just a dodgy sensor!

Stone Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It was a blue VW Lupo with the bonnet up :-( We were on the hard shoulder for less than an hour, probably about 1540-1630? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flywheel Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 15:30 hrs today northbound on A5 between Towcester and Weedon, Dodge ambulance and jeep, looked great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yesterday on the M1 going north just by junction 16 I spotted two Dodge WPC's 6x6's on the back of a low loader. The one was red, looked like it had perhaps been in service with a fire service at some point, while the other one was green. Anyone's on here?

Stone Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Yesterday (Sat 13th), approx 1040, M25 anticlockwise (about J24). Three lorries in convoy with 2x BV206 apiece, quite a sight! First drew my attention as it looked like they were on large rigids which seemed a bit unusual...not 100% sure though as I was going clockwise! Off to a new home, maybe?
