@franglais You might like this.
Not available in my country apparently. Wonder if it is in the UK? 
Some tactile memories for you Spardo.
No, not available here either.
Sleeper cabs and tri-axles? Nice, but not quite. 
Btw there is a bloke, English I think, who lives in France a regular on a forum I inhabit (French in English) says he drove for Buntine in the mid '70s, but out of Wyndham. Says Noel bought a local company there to use as an operating base. Can’t remember the name of the original company, will scroll back if I can find the thread, but it was during a period of thread drift and I can’t remember the original basis of the thread. 
It’s the thought that counts.
Tell that to the bloke who thought he was getting a sleeper, but was issued a swag.
I’m not a fiction fan, but this one is worth a watch.
Very funny, I loved the bit where the spade wielder thought there was a genuine stickup going on.

Not trucks, but can I get some free advice from our Aussie residents please?
I am intending on a trip to Aus but am very unsure (confused/mixed up , insert your own jokes 
) about how best to go about it all.
This thread is Aus Past and Present, but probably I should start another thread in Bully’s as it will be non trucks? Yep I’ll try that in a bit. I’ll stick a link in when it’s started.
Shouldn’t all EVs be stamped on the bonnet with Buyers Beware!

Yes, ICE vehicles will be around for decades, but I doubt they’ll get an easy ride here or abroad.
I was reading about Germany yesterday, who are having a big problem reigning in their mandated CO2 limit levels, they’re currently 13 million tonnes above their limit.
The ICCT are taking aim at the countries millions of 15 years + old less efficient diesel & petrol cars. They’re offering a carrot before stick scrappage scheme to take these polluting cars off the road which would save 11 million tonnes of CO 2 alone.
They’re also calling for the speed limits to be reduced also. They’ve been trying to restrict the no speed limit sections of the autobahn for years.
Using e-fuels would account for only 190,000 tonnes saving total emissions reduction potential, not the eleven million tonnes of the scrappage premium.
