Looks like they are running on cherry. Not sure a road going vehicle is allowed to do that. Must just be counting on being able to “dissuade “ any over enthusiastic excise man!😂 80" 1948

Always did.

I like the way the numberplate is blanked out.

Don't want to devalue it when it comes through Brightwell.




PS ~ No person's hurt ~ important to point that out in an incident of this type.

The cherry will be OX75 hydraulic fluid, the MOD run on normal diesel due to being used on public roads.

Obviously a familar occurence

Driffield 2007, someone let the Mech Rec loose in the SSgt's Rovers

Click image to enlarge

What you cant make out, amongst the other floating objects in there, is the Ssgt's bergen, but you can make out her angry legs in the top of the shot.

Got to practice his trade though

I think the tracks are on the top.

You cant call them fire engines any longer either.
