Those are the secrets I was referring to!

No timetable to US Mail. Overnight (Express) used to be a big moneymaking premium product. Now it gets there eventually and we lose money anytime we guarantee performance. When you get something on time and in one piece you've witnessed a miracle! Broken AND broke...bad combo!

all those fancy cuts are on a waterjet. that front entrance was 5g just for the cuts and assembly and didnt include the install we did :)

This is what I'm driving today round the city of London

That is a big motorcycle.

It often amazes me how different similar vehicles can be on opposite sides of the Atlantic.. Because of the long distances traveled here bigger engines are more common on semi's (lorries?) here, than over there. However that side of the pond tends to get better brakes. lol

I remember this from when my dad was purchasing some Euro spec vehicles for use in Africa vs what he was used to for use in the USA.

that was a joke... hence the ;)


tim

worked in Education for a decade: Certified Montessori, Elem Ed., Masters Special Ed. Became fed up with a dysfunctional education system, started driving semi circa 1980.

OTR for 20 years, approx 2 million miles, 1.5 million of those miles in this 1984 Autocar which I bought new and built to the point in the pic. I sold it to a couple in oregon 8 years ago. Not my trailer pictured, they haul explosives for Landstar in a box trailer. I pulled a spread axle drop-deck, hauled mostly oversize loads and heavy machinery. Glad I found a good home for my old Autocar cause I loved that truck.

My hat's off to you. I can't imagine driving a vehicle that size in London.

I drove a small van into London to return it to the rental agency about 2.5 years ago. My wife was attempting to get directions using a Michelin map. It was Napoleon's revenge.

Street names changed every 3 blocks if you could find a street sign. Most streets went only one way and always in the wrong direction. Some streets weren't streets at all;they were pedestrian malls. Traffic was impossible. I'd rather stick knitting needles into my eyes than drive in London again.

Thanks for joining the forum. We are not worthy.
