you should have asked me..... i'd have given you a driving experience in a wagon last week.... we just sold our old iveco 7.5t tipper for export... it could do about 85, and handled brilliantly....... i used to chase down cars & pass them in it with 3t of hot tarmac, 4 barrows, some rakes, a wacker plate in the back...Originally Posted by Lewis.
yeah, 45 foot box trailerdid some reversing and all
modern artics are no fun... an old one with no speed limiter & a decent engine (late 80s) was hilarious.. i had a tractor unit running solo with the speedo needle right round & bouncing off the back of the 0 mph pin.. that means about 110mph.. we had 2 artics doing over 90 side by side on the m1 one day...fully loaded tippers... on the day in 1997 that the IRA called bomb scares on the whole country & we'd been royally screwed about & needed to reach a deadline..the cops were far too busy looking for suspicious packages to worry about a pair of green leylands screaming by.
