    I was on grain bulkers for a few years. It helped avoid open weigh bridges.

    I passed a open one at Ross taking a trailer of grain loaded by the boss to Cardiff docks. When I got there it was 42 ton. In the days of 38 ton mg. Phew!

  10. You were lucky there that was a licence loser or a big fine! I took a load of asbestos to Hartlepool in a walking floor trailer in a 500 bhp v8 Scania only dropped half a gear all the way there and I bottomed out the weigh bridge at over 50 ton and they weren't going to let me tip as they couldn't weigh It in the end they did and we had a weigh bridge in our yard but lazy me thought it will be alright idiot!
     
  11. I took in a Scania V8 carrying 51 tonnes!!!
    He'd only come 5 miles from a local farm.
     
  12. Scania V8 best truck in my opinion!! So powerful!! It would be nice to put that engine in the bus but you would only have room for the front seats!!
     
  13. Bought bout getting cb for lizzy, but don't know where to put the antenna I've got a double top moonraker, so there's no metal on the roof to attach it
     
  14. Para beat me to it I was going to say the same I think that's where mine will go just above the passenger door near the front
     
  15. you could get one on the roof if you really wanted but you would have to use a Artifical ground plane :)
     
  16. I have one on Ted but as yet I've never spoken to anyone. :(

  17. I have one i use in the van and my polo i just use a mag mount so it is easier to swap between cars :) I have spoken to a few people hoping to use it when i go away with @poptop2 at christmas! :thumbsup:
