will be now trucking out of northumberland

Cheers Jon

Drove it 280 miles yesterday

some experience drivin this up the A1
I found another few gears Jon, it actually got 18, 6 over 6 & splitter on the high range gears, & to get to change smothly you cant miss any out, but you can start off in 5th or 6th.Cant say how fast it is

but quite enjoyed covering the traffic behind in black smoke when you initally floored it

Ace Andy

You`re right on the gears .. it was 18

I was going to lose that rose off the door and stick the Carlile logo on as the colour scheme matches their fleet. Also leave a load of snow chains hanging off the chassis rails.

Here`s my friend`s Kenworth, he`s having a chassis stretch and building an enclosed race car hauler .. he races in that late model ASCAR series.

As far as top speed goes, I can`t say on here as it is a public forum so send a stamped addressed envelope to :

103 MPH competition
P.O. box 103
Norfolk
103 MPH

and I will tell you
