Ace. I was a big truck fan, years ago. There was a firm in barnsley called R J norman. He used to run a fleet of long bonnet mack`s. When i was 16/17. I used to cycle to hoyland common M1 bridge, to try and spot one. If one did happen to pass, they alway`s let the air horn go. Yeah, kenworth, peterbilt, th american`s have the best wagon`s. Favourite film, has to be "DUEL".
