I took a transit chassis cab to have skip gear fitted first junction soon had me turn around and strap an ibc full of water on the back had to do about 100 mile or so, so thought my nerves wouldn’t stand it

 

[Lynchy]

Anyone remember Truck magazine?did cannonball run in transit

 

[Canal Navvy]

Cor ! , truck magazine, used to get that along with power farming when I was still at school

Remember the articles about the Swedish BroWreckers and the oil field tractors going through the railway arches in Chippenham on the way for rebuild in Tetbury ☺

Also remember reading about the far fetched suggestion that British Leyland trucks where getting the government of the time to squeeze out the small volume builders by introducing stringent crash testing ..... did get wiser and more sceptical in time

happens quick ... dunnit ? did two and a half pirouettes, late one very cold, frosty night in the early eighties, in me SD, on black ice ... road I'd driven hundreds of times .... was like black glass ... ended up facing where I'd come from ... not a soul about fortunately ... gunned it back around and set off very carefully .... good job I was only doing the 50 limit or might have been a few more rotations

Might be some truth in the crash testing story but I bet British Leyland didn't ever let slip how they designed their first "safety cab"

Used to work at a daihatsu and the hijet pickups had rear drive with a 1.3 petrol engine
Made for interesting driving in the wet with no weight on the rear as the 12" tyres you could only get for them were quite a hard compound

[Furniss]

I was following one once (one of those tiny pickups) and it went round a corner and met stationary traffic ...I thought only 2 wheels could do stoppies...... must of gone way over 45°
