WoW Jon, I am loving that! When Joe (my eldest) was 2. I used to take him up on the hill next to the Peterbuilt factory. He loved trucks as a kid. We used to sit there for hours, watching the rigs come out of the assembly line!

He was alway smiling there!

Yes

I collected it from southampton friday

Awesome piece of kit

Stop start traffic on m25 was awful

I have it on very good authority that this does 100 mph but can't comment as that would be illegal

He he he

Cool, I assume its a manual?

Jon Connolly · Post by **Jon Connolly** » Wed Sep 09, 09 12:02 pm

Yep .... 13 speed

There is so much power you only need to use about 3 of the gears

Pull away in about 5th .. Then 9th .. Then top

Will post a picture later with something to scale it against
