britainswomble Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The pictures shown here are surprisingly old as demonstrated by the Sierra police car. I didn't realize they made the Daf 95 as long ago as that, and I was even more surprised to see the engine size of the Daf in the first picture was a 360 or 380. How things have changed. In those days that was a pretty powerful truck. Today it would probably be at least 600 HP. Unthinkable in the late eighties. The power was obviously adequate because of the way the front wheels are lifting off. I bet if porcus trafficus saw that he wouldn't be following so close. Great pictures, and something I've always wanted to do. I've done many abnormal loads, but would love to get into the really heavy end of the job. I like the idea of dealing with the problems associated with top weights and the trucks associated with it. Driving really large heavy cranes has always appealed to me. I also used to do a lot of specialist lifting with a Hiab, which was really interesting. Again nothing really heavy, moore intricate and mentally challenging. Some of it was installation the rest was recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
