Heres a link to a video of a certain Welsh Peterbilt out cruising during a recording for the Convoy themed 2011 Steelboys run video. Who is going to be first to identify the area it was filmed? [clue: its not Arizona]

Volume is required for best effect.

Just brilliant, looks as if Andrew is having a good time there. Well done to all involved.
Neil, for some reason it looks as if Butetown is in the video, if so it is shot on the heads of the valley between Rhymney and Tredegar, around Tafarnaubach. Doesn’t look like the Bridgend area, but I may well be wrong.

Regards Paul

Hi Neil, Andrew and all; I had the strangest feeling watching that video. I thought I was imagining it.
Great content as always, looking foreward to seeing the final cut. A great project.

Regards Paul

Spot on Paul, top marks, I thought Butetowns distinct old style street of houses may give it away. The irony of the area you used to live in masquerading as the country you live in now.

Some of Walls lighter recovery trucks. The little MAN’s were very reminiscent of the mk2 VW Golf.
