Ugly old trucks

Bender:
So anyway, getting back to the ugly trucks…

A VW Constellation Titan…

Hullo Bender,
There are absolutely thousands of these animals over here in Brasil.
Cheers, Archie.

Never seen one before Archie, the bigget VW we see is based on a Merc Sprinter, but it is also ugly…

Like Altitude I never thought of those Dodges as ugly, unlike the later ones…

Silly question but; Is that what was called a “Spanish Dodge”?

There were plenty of rust buckets about thirty years ago.The last firm I drove for had one of those Barreiros Spanish Dodges,as far as I know it went ok,there were several operating them around Herefordshire in those days.

Bloke I’m referring to then came off one and went onto an F reg Hino 6 wheeler. I used to load one like it (Hino) and with a steel body, their payload was something crap like 13 ton or so…

Don’t know much about Hino’s Nathan,a local firm had one about three years ago,but have since packed up with haulage.They look a strong vehicle suited more for the heavy end of tipper work,such as muckaway ( excuse the pun ).
Cheers Dave.

Bender:

Johnnie

P S that sheet looks as if it could do with tidying up a bit :wink:

I always found these things uggerly and impractical, and the seats were always too soft and split easily…

Ah, my sister had a Wendy House as a child :smiley:

Johnnie,don’t you ever suggest I never supported your “Pension Fund”!!! I bought 3 of these portacabins from St Helens and gave the “job” to these “cowboy’s” This is the first one arriving in the depot at Milnthorpe,the driver was a bit of a dry old stick!! I think he’d spent to much time on “Highwaymen” and knock-out axles!!! Dennis.
