now THAT is a proper gobstopper - anyone know if the firm are still around please?

Mark Fullers pride and joy. A magnificent machine in its day. The first truck I ever saw with train horns (the real thing!) Not sure what they are upto these days but as far as I’m aware they are still in haulage. Spoke to Mark a few weeks ago re him driving on this years convoy.

I had a 500 before I came out here, it had I-shift too, nice motor, pulled like a train, wish they were around when we were doing the old job.

Great stuff Andrew,

Mark.

Thanks Mark, just remembering that tipping trailer ,used to hate those twin rams,used to watch it going up like a hawk and was always very glad when the load shot out.It was a good day when we upgraded that trailer for a C/F with a single ram.
regards Andrew.

Drove this one from new and did more than a 1,000,000 kms with it

some pics fromt his years truckfest





we were parked next to this f16 all weekend, was very nice

Heres a few from the 2010 Shropshire truck show

I think these belong on this thread as well :wink:




:arrow_right: 33 years old but still nicer to drive than a poxy Axor…Progress eh :unamused:

An original ‘gobstopper’ :slight_smile:

with ‘spoke’ wheels :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

Heres one,

Another

And another

Heres my F10, drove it in the early 80s around western europe.
I took this pic in germany.
It is by far the favourite of all the trucks i`ve driven because the ride was so good and the bed very comfortable.
