KENWORTHS CLIMBING ON THE KAIMAIS!...courtesy of Rod Simmonds who says: "And with a Foden thrown in to make your day! Yes been on the road again, lovely weather for it, caught a few trucks during my phone and note taking break.."

This pull-in is obviously Rod's favourite spot for snapping the trucks running up that hill (or at least one of them!)

This must be the 'fleet' spec version Rod -- without the swing-out steps! I presume he's parked outside his own house....otherwise he probably wouldn't be too popular?

.Are the chickens still in the pull out Rod?

Great to see Rod. Am pleased the white lines are back (from your earlier posting) and even better to see the green & white Forest Freighters Foden FFL 5. My claim to fame is that I've ridden in that truck (shot gun of course)about two years ago up that precise hill and round that precise corner. Wow. Happy Days.
