Nautibouy yet again

Could not resist posting these pictures as Nautibouy's fame has no end

.

This is our new truck which will be used for collecting engines from Brunswick Marine (Mercury) in Belgium and parts and accessories from Vetus in Holland.

No doubt will be seen in many other countries throughout Europe

It looks as though ParkerRibs is growing fast, Andre.

You forgot to mention the main reason that the truck was ordered. The truck will mainly be used for delivering RIBS. It will even be able to carry the new 10,5 metre twin jet. Currently it is on it's way to VARNA Bulgaria delivering the New Cabin Jet Rib. I am leaving this morning for Varna and will no doubt post some pictures from Varna on the thread new parker 900 cabin twin jet.

I always thought Europeans have much nicer lorries than the boring ones you see in the UK. Nice one.
Their drivers are better as well and they seem to be much better regulated. This might have something to do with our crappy roads though.

NR.

I must admit I did have to think about Nos when I typed that. He's not here at the moment so I've got a little time to build some defences.

As regards being a European. I suppose to the US we are Europeans. But to me, mainland Europe is a totally different way of life to Britain and the people are just so much more cosmopolitan.
That stretch of water might have saved us a few times in the past but its also made us very insular.

Very nice Andre, glad things are going well. I'm amazed that a 9m Baltic can go inside one of the trailers though, obviously tubes deflated.

Must make you very proud of your operations

Well done.

??????????????????????????????????????

Obviously you nothing of Willi Betz!!! And they are far from the only ones. Better regulated? In countries like Spain or Portugal or Greece or Eastern Europe? Any laws they don't like they just ignore

A Parker 900Baltic with deflated tubes can be transported on a cradle . The cover has to be removed for such transit so Nautibouy not visable

Absolutely

The current estimate is 50% of foreign trucks coming in are below the legal minimum safety standards for the UK because of poor maintainance but there aren't enough trafpol to enforce it.

I could tell stories of foreign drivers and haulage firms that'd make your toes curl. I suspect Osprey Viper could too.

We have the same/similar problem in the southern USA. Driving North from Mexico to Arizona There is a military check point about 30 miles S. of the border. Yes, they are carrying machine guns. Fortunately there is a separate lane for private cars. Last tripwe made,the truck line was 3 miles long to get though the check point. It takes an ave. of 4-8 hours to get thru. for the trucks then you wait another 2 hours to get across the Mexico/US border. Great fun but worth it to boat on the Sea of Cortez.

A steady pace.

Do the Germans still have that quaint rule that lorries don't use the roads at weekends ? Always thought the England should have that sort of rule.

Who took the original photo splashed down the side of the truck and trailer? just think of the royalities
