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!)

Thats a nice collection of rust. I love the track-tor, it would turn a lot of heads driving that through the village!
Is a RHD bus much use in France? The doors are on the wrong side.
I think a nice 6.0 turbo diesel would fit in the pickup, it would make a great rat-rod.

Le Van. Have you asked him if he will take an offer as the brakes are a bit dodgy? ;)

Nice enough I suppose, but unless it came with a large 2 stroke Diesel from a pickup of the period I'd leave it alone. :mrgreen:

Are you going to ask if he will take a MR2 in part exchange? ;)

I think the "Camion Mowag" would look good on my driveway. The Mrs wouldn't agree but I'm sure she could be talked round with the offer of decorating something or another. €3500 is rather a lot for a toy though.
