    Lorrie? What the hell is a lorrie? Sounds like a gay Irishman to me. Well, I guess I'll just sit on the "lude" and "toss off". It may give me understanding and comfort!

    Well, many years ago, I was a lorry driver. I hauled bricks, 5000 at a time, right across the country and loaded and unloaded them all by hand.

    What a hero!

    Anyway, ordinary Brit lorrys weigh up to 92,000 pounds and have gutsy big engines, unlike the lawnmower engines (put put put) fitted to those abysmal Kenworths!

    Isn't it the latest Volvo lorry which is supposed to be the most powerful in the world, something like 620hp but can pull up to 150 tonnes?

    Got to say though aestheticly, American trucks win hands down, the only truck I've seen on our roads which looks really cool is the Scania, ruddy beauts.

    Holy cow- you could have an apostafest in this one !!

    Xena, you crack me up. That truck has got to be from Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas.

    This thread reminds of this old commercial jingle:

    My dog's better than your dog.

    My dog's better than yours.

    My dog's better 'cause mine eats Kennelration.

    My dog's better than yours!

    E-man, you're just too cute tryin' to start big ole flame war using trucks as a weapon.

    It's been said that the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. Check out the trucks on this link. They are toys.
