It whirred and flapped as they do, then the front of the car lifted and there was a sickening bang... ***** had forgotten the scaff planks on the roof rack. Cue screaming kids, VERY angry attendants and a wife making D.I.V.O.R.C.E. noises! |

The car was so heavy (1 ton) in itself that we didn't obviously go along the road at an angle but it felt like it. I once carried home 4 off 2' x 8' x 18mm chipboard in the 2CV I shared. It sat fairly low on the road but was quite manageable. I used to limit myself to six 50 kg bags of whatever I was carrying. The exhaust tended to scrape on bumps with 5 adults in it :-) I really miss that car ..... |

I once saw a pic of a 1 ton pickup, backed upto a tree trunk. the guy sawed the trunk, having it fallinto the back of the truck. Regrettably there wasnt much left of the truck after the tree trunk fell, it squashed the thing like a bug. The expression on his face was a real winner. No idea where to find the pic though, online is a big place. NT |
