Yeah and he's my mate - roight! :twisted:

He's got the special large scale coupe, sits 6 in the back in comfort, but for real laughs you wanna see him trying to get into his wife's 206CC with the roof up. Rumour has it that's the only reason they had the CC, get the roof down for Neil to do his Noddy impression :? :lol:

Seen the other day driving along the M62 in rush hour. The bottom of the strap holding the rear container on was at the rearmost extremity of the truck give or take a couple of inches, and the container didn't even meet the front set of rear wheels!

Image

He looked VERY light on the front wheels during acceleration - almost wheelied a few times - which is why nobody got within about 4 carlengths of his rear - even when stationary! I'd have called the coppers if I thought they'd be bothered to get off their arses and do something but if they won't do anything about an aggressive drunk 7.5T driver trying to ram people off the road, they ain't going to do sh*t about an overloaded truck are they?

Nice 'action' shot there m, was that an 'out the window' snap?

I feel we should be a little carefull when taking moving pics as the snapper driver may not be in full control.

A quick snap in very slow traffic or at the lights should be fine IMO but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Could be even worse if you get caught with a 6mega pixcel, SLR type with a maxi zoom lens camera stuck in your pie hole while doing 70MPH on the M5.

Ooops did i just say that out loud :P

could be embarrassing - try to explain that one to the local plod :cry:

What is the yellow box for, some sort of high visibility sign for drivers? Or a heavy weight to stop the ladder from sliding (LOL)

I am going to join in and post some Darwin pictures, or at least I will when I find some stupidity out and about today.

Traffic police love dealing with overloads, in fact in Kent they get hard ons about it! Local patrols probably wouldn't even know what an overweight was though...
