And the newer Mack models

After going back and forth for the past two weeks, from Tournai to Liancourt (80) with several parts (scales) for three windmill towers, things came to an end today… :unamused: :wink:
Length varied from 6.50m to 9.50, width varied from 3.02m to 4.66m, height was the same for all the parts, 3.78m

Cheers, Patrick

Nice pics again Patrick, amazes me that the French still have the convoy exceptional stuff trundling thru quiet villages when there’s an almost empty autoroute running parallel. Strange lot indeed!

Hiya,

I too wonder about that sometimes, but I prefer driving down the RN’s, that’s where the driving skills are needed when driving through those tiny villages. And let’s not forget the scenery eh :wink:

Cheers, Patrick

Hi Patrick … An interesting thread this with great pictures and top range equipment on display.
I did a fair bit of CE work in France in the late Noughties and also drove " Pilot " on many occasions when work was on the thin side…
I have to say though that it was small beer to what you and your mates do! Keep it up and safe trips.
Regards, Baldrick.

Well, thanks for the kind words Baldrick :blush:
Doesn’t matter if it was just small beer, you’ve seen for yourself what we have to deal with, like :wink:

Cheers mate, same goes for what you are doing up north :smiley:

Well, time for another episode of “golden oldies” I reckon…

DAF was always represented by a large number in the fleet, but things have sadly changed nowadays…
