Thread: Lets See The Transport havn a Oops moment

I like

I'm thinking their rims are made of better stuff than ours.
One of our crew did this a while back. Went in just after he'd done it. Was only a piece of stone sticking out the side of the bank. Trouble was it was attached to the 'mother rock' that was made of better stuff than abit of alloy

You'd rather that than a steel rim bouncing the truck over on its arse though.

Last week in the Northern Territory, out the back of Bumfuck & beyond, chopper made two trips back to camp ferrying the stranded. Needs a whole new front end.
The Donkey's had the last laugh.

Ouchy

When mine got pinched I told them it had a full tank, so could be anywhere in the country within the next week.

And heres one being driven extremely sedately unladen by the sounds of it.

with the D6 on the lowbed it was crawler gear to get round the esses that used to be halfway up this side of spooners

You are doing my head in, please educate me in how six pistons in three cylinders works with one crankshaft?

My only knowledge of shared cylinder engines have been opposed piston (two crankshafts) and the Deltic Engine (three crankshafts.)
