Thread: Got to do something I always wanted to do

S bend, steep drop omto a ten foot wide bridge, a puckering moment in a triple at 90k.

Ah was wondering, funny as it was a Gilberts transport road train that overtook me and thought I somehow mentioned it. I know the place you speak of, but haven't driven a road train or truck down there, its bad enough in a car.

Awesome stuff. Something I have always wanted to do too

Wanted to post a better pic of the truck itself, it was a pleasure to drive and to be able to stand up inside the cab was a very different feeling.







it was a Kenworth K200 big cab,


Wow they fit trucks out pretty smick, but guess you spend enough time in them so want nothing less.

Ean. What freight did you bring back on your return trip?

Is it the photo Ean or has Brad changed the fleet colour from dark blue?

No that truck is monaro maroon, its the Darwin freight truck, all the others are dark blue /silver. Personally I like the blue/silver better but its a close second.
