What nicknames for lorries?

What names have you got for the old lorries you used to drive (or still do!), one of my favourites is

“Sudden Accident” Seddon Atkinson

I thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to nicknames for trucks.

In Australia Fiat trucks are sometimes called “Fix It Again Tony!” For best effect it must be said in an Italian accent with one hand raised while shaking your arm.
MAN’s are sometimes called “Mean And Nastys”. For those of us that have worked on them will know what I’m on about.
Here in NZ Japanese trucks are called 'Rice Burners" and ERF and Foden are called “Pommie Kenworth’s”,due to the simular engines and running gear as Kenworths.

What about the wendy house for the volvo fl 7/10/12

These are from the early CB day’s
3 in a bed Scania 111
2 fat ladys Volvo F88
3 legged lady any Merc
not a truck but what about TIR trained in Russia

the old Dennison tractor was referred to as a Dublin Dustbin :laughing:

“Christine” - the lads always said things moved around on their own and it felt cold and haunted

ERFs Sandbach specials
Two pedel Beavers Legless wonders
S 39 Fodens Mickey mouse
F 88 Super sweeds
All Fords Dagenham dustbins
Leyland Buffalow Headless wonders
Lynx , ,
DAFs Cloggies

What about the Merc’s----HITLERS REVENGE.

Not quite the same, but our first D Series, was a 7.5 tonne Reg. No. POF ■■? R. Our other two being Commers, it soon became affectionately known as “POF the magic wagon.” :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Stanfield:
What about the Merc’s----HITLERS REVENGE.

What about the Foden of the late seventies,commonly known as the Pig. :laughing:

my favourite is the mercs made in india,known as “curried mercs”.

How about “Bionic Bubbles”…F86s and "Maggie Thatchers " for Magirus deutzs and Fodens ,ERFs etc with a Percy Thrower (Gardner) under the bonnett :laughing:

Cheers Bubbs. :wink:

Me and my mate double manned a Leyland Terrier known affectionately as Spotty Dog because of the rust and mud, it did about 80mph though :smiley:

dafs = dead as f**k
erf= every rattle found

instead of iveco stralis…iveco stranded.

Ford = ■■■■■■ Or Repaired Daily
Iveco = It Vibrates Everything Comes Off

Found On Road Dead :smiley: :smiley:

FL volvo’s were fanny lickers ( because they were low to the ground )
Pre Powerliner Merc’s were downhill dashers ( wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding )
Any V8 Scania was " A man’s motor " and you always asked everyone with a straight six " where’s the rest of it " :laughing:
