Bush Tucker Man:
I watched the programme 'Ultimate Trucks' on Channel 5 the other night (Monday).

A 'rig' that I'd forgotten about was on, I'd read about it a few years ago in a magazine called' SuperTrucks' (a 'Truck' magazine annual special)

It's a mad, mad, custom built Peterbilt.

This thing is the Worlds Fastest Truck about over 370mph!!!  :shock: , combined with a 6.3second Quarter-Mile!!!


Have a look at the video clip to see the degree of acceleration

Heh, i remember the magazine, might have it knocking around somewhere still, had a Titan innit aswell, ruddy great big oil field special, seem te remember they took it round the tank proving grounds in Germany or something..

Bush Tucker Man:
That's the mag.

I'm sad to sayI lent them to a 'friend' with a 101FC (about 1998) & he moved away & I never got them back.
It was a full set of 'SuperTrucks' as well ("grumble, mutter, complain"), plus 'Custom Truck'

It was a great magazine. Some of the heavy haulage in there was great. Phil Llewellyns 'Long Distance Diary' was a must in the regular monthly editions of 'Truck' as well.
He's just got a new travelogue book out - it's a mixture of journies from 'Truck', 'Car' & various papers.
Called 'The Road To Muckleflugga' it's a superb read.

Bush Tucker Man:
I've just thought.
Talk to Steve 'V8 MoneyPit', he orders from Haynes for his business, he might get it for you cheaper if you ask him nicely

SteveH:
