    Is the dial we see at the end of the first film the fuel guage ? It looks to be falling rapidly enough... almost as quick as the one in my Rangie !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Bushie, the reliability of the tanker is now in question. It didn't make it to Hornsby today, broke down in the Blue Mountains Maybe at Kur-ring-gai tomorrow.

    Not good in a new vehicle when you're trying to make sales

    Very similar, (the chassis part anyway) the tanks & bodys we made were much bigger (tanks 20kl) and therefore also taller (yes bad thing), we did a full floating tri pivot mounting system to allow the chassis to flex without any restriction, engineers from MAN loved it, so much they brougt the armyout to see the first ones (MAN are tring to sell some trucks to the army) only problem see with them is that they are full of computers & electornics (they have CAN BUS system) it'll be fine for so long then if and when it has a glitch it'll be stuck there till it sees a tech with a PC Not good for a militray vehicle ????, They army needs to stick with OLD fasion mechanical fuel injetion and minimal wiring loom (lights ect only) so it can be fixed in the feild without a degree in engineering and 6 post grade courses
    Very impressive trucks though, wheres this one based? says heathcote is that heathcote Vic? I hadn't heard the CFA was gtting these?
