breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

an actual breakdown truck :o :o :o :o
Next time you visit Blighty, come in through the port of Southampton, then take the first exit of the northbound side of the M3, and finally, head for Eastleigh. There you will find Hampshire Freight, they might let you play with their breakdown truck.

Incontinent perhaps, but yes, what a fine looking old thing that is! :drool: :drool: :drool: Ideal for solving neighbourhood parking disputes too, I would think. :twisted:

I'm afraid I have a bit of a hatred of speclifts that aren't vertical when not in use, so that Toyota puts me right off. CDO or what?....

Strange, I thought that Flying Scotsman was a steam locomotive. Look at the plaque on the front bumper.
