What I have trouble understanding with the Brazilian one, is: How did all 3 wire ropes simultaneously detach themselves from the Truck & trailer.
if they're strong enough to pull It back over, they should being strong enough to Stop It Running away..!!

This one will put you off trucks forever.

Don't know about the weld job John, the "new" draw bar is held on by 2 teck screws each side and yes the owner did want it towed. The black wrap is all that is holding the sides in.

He had bought it un-seen on line.

Lang, Sicks munce ago I couldn evan spel Truk Driva, Now I are wun.

I found the pedal you hold down to make it go faster is there a way to make it slow down?

Many years ago a mate who lived in Shitzme was driving his tipper and trailer loaded with sand along Parramatta Road when a couple in a Kombi van pulled out from a side road on his left. He pushed it for almost a hundred yards before he could stop. They said they had not seen his tandem drive Mercedes with a dog trailer.

At the sandblasters some guys from PNG loaded up a container with 4" pipe on wooden dunnage .......no chocking,or grooves.........a qualified engineer was supervising..........From the sandblasters down to the Port is "rollover corner",next to Ft Lytton turnoff.......anyway ,they didnt make it to rollover corner,,container came off on the first left bend to Lytton Rd......Guy driving the swinglifter has got no idea the load is so dangerously stacked.......Although the first one had a lucky break,the pipe was too heavy to lift ,over 32 tons,so had the be repacked.

Go straight there, the drawbar's not long enough for turns.

It would be good behind a Harley.

Yep....similar engineering.

It would be good at one of the caravan demolition derbys.....dunno if they are still held at the Archerfield track.
