Ace painter and old-truck restorer Andrew Cooper has e-mailed me this picture and the following message: "Hi Brian, thought I'd send you a shot of an MAN TGS 440 that we recently completed on behalf of MAN. I can't begin to explain the full spec. as it would go on for an eternity! Sufice to say that it's a brand new six-wheeler with medium height cab and a monumental PM crane. The rear section of the body can telescope outward nearly 4 metres and all closed up the length was just over 13 metres. Thank heaven for rear-steering technology, or put simply the biggest 6 wheeler i have ever driven!" Now click through here for one of Andrew's Golden Oldies....
Yes it's Andrew's immaculate F16 (now withm a new owner as he waits for his Yankee Clipper to arrive in the UK). Andrew says: "Three years ago I used my F16 that I owned at the time for my wedding---which I thought was so poignant---anyone that has known me long enough said it was perfect. However,log onto YouTube and type in jn66n358otc and see what McAuliffe trucking in Southern Ireland did. It knocks my F16 wedding into a cocked hat bigtime!"
