Spotted on the Iveco stand this dynamic duo...of a red Formula 1 Ferrari and an equally 'well-red' Iveco Stralis tractor also featuring the famous 'prancing horse'. Now I know alot of people like F1. But I make no secret of the fact that it doesn't float Biglorryblog's canoe. However, I can't deny it attracts the punters. But given the choice between driving a racing car or a Stralis I know which one I'd go for...and the clue as to my final choice is you can couple up to an trailer a darn sight easier with it. Anyway, lest you think I'm an old grumpy, click through here for a picture of the racing car.

Considering how small the cockpit is I'm surprised can get into it. Talk about made-to-measure. BLB's man-on-the spot Roger Yandle also tells me cockpit is blanked off around the foot pedals to stop anyone getting into it. So even if I wanted to get into it...and I'm not saying I would want to, but I might just be curious, purely out of journalistic sort of curiosity you understand...hang on a minute, what am I saying?
