Thanks for pointing that one out, Being involved in the truck industry and drove for many years I really enjoyed that, Made me think of the old T-Line Cab Over Inter , every time I pushed it to hard through a
creek it would rare up a bit and every damn thing on the dash ended up on the floor,including little Dusty and I had to stop and get him up off the left floor,
Now someone just recently posted about some guy with
little red Wings powered by a small rocket and i thought hey that would be fun , but I would most surely crash and break the old neck ,, but one of those Trucks......yeh I could for one of them ,

Used to drive an Acco myself. The 3070 with the big VT903 Cummins V8 in it. That old rattler would do some fun slides if you were keen enough.
The sloping top of the dash was perfect for your smokes and Zippo.

What gets me is that the guy driving it wasn't good enough to drive one of the race cars. Too slow, so he got lumbered with the support vehicle.
It is a pretty amazing truck and as others have said not a bad bit of driving.
I do have a concern though. I don't think I could see a tow bar. How am I going to get the 38' flybridge cruiser down to the
boat ramp without a tow bar? Really you would think for the purchase price that thing must attract a man should not have to fit his own accessories.

Did anyone notice the acceleration he had when passing the bikes? it just got up and bogied at around 100kph, in sand and a narrow track.
I guess I take #125456 in the que to have one.
To hell with fuel consumption, just think of the fun!!!!!
