Rod Simmonds in New Zealand has sent me this and the following message: "Blog or Picture post perhaps? Kenworth K104B Aerodyne belongs to Rudds, Reliable Transport, Auckland,who operate as a contractor to Booths Transport."

Rod goes on to say: "It's got a CAT C15-550,l8-speed Fuller Roadranger manual Air suspension throughout. Jackson Enterprises curtainsider and low profile 4-axle trailer. Wide Rim alloys with low profile tyres. Payload 28.5mt."

Well I don't know about anyone else but I reckon this is the cat's miaaoowww--especially those tight curtains--DAF's Richard Kingston would love them for fuel economy on a CM roadtest! Now here's a couple of detail shots...

Rod concludes: "Runs long distance general freight, timber, bricks, blocks and plaster board. Will cover 120--150,000kms a year and is proudly driven by KW nut Bradley!" And that, I assume is Bradley. A fine figure of a man if ever I saw one. And now to finish here's a shot of the Kenworth grille....
