Harry in The Netherlands has his own transport company operating 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 Mercedes and Ginaf.

He sent these colourful old pictures of vehicles which were operated by his father from 1967-77. 

The changes in IVECO prevent Harry following his father's choice of manufacturer of all wheel drive trucks.

When I cropped the left picture I had to leave in the Ford Anglia, as that was the first car I owned.

 

Alvaro learnt to drive in this truck.

Alvaro in Punta Arenas, Chile has sent this nostalgic picture of his Dad stood with his 1961 Jupiter. It is pictured outside a Texaco Plant in Santiago. He regularly made trips across the Atacama desert to become an accredited 'Million km Maggie Driver'.

This picture also came from Alvaro, and shows a 1929 Magirus Fire Engine which still turns out regularly for parades to represent the fire brigade of the Magallanes, based in the capital city of the region, Punta Arenas.

 

These pictures have been sent to me by a customer of mine from the'70s. Richard and his wife Angela both drove Maggies in their aptly named company R&A Freight. For a few years they seemed to spend more time on the european mainland than in the uk.     'MouseOver' the pictures for more detail.

truck trekking

As requested by many site visitors, this is a section devoted to those adventurous people who are building a New breed of motorcaravan which is not frightened by the sight of a fast flowing river or a vast expanse of inhospitable territory.

In fact these vehicles just say 'bring it on'... ' lets have some of that' ... or similar things in other languages. Keep checking back for more campers with attitude.

Jan in The Netherlands has this amazing 'Macowrus' recreation vehicle all self-painted and fitted out to a striking cow type scheme. This 1952 ( yes 56 years old ! ) S3500 has a real cowbell below the bumper. A true one-off.
