picture for Biglorryblog from the recent Timaru Truck Show. Cheers Alex." And welcome mate---thanks for the great shots especially of this 'two-snail' Atki 400. Something special for Pete Lynch and Chris G! The legend on the front says: No Rest'...I wonder what that can mean?

Maybe cause it hasnt got a sleeper cab? Great photos anyhow Alex. I think the one with the snowplough is an Isuzu.

yes, the 400 Series is a rare survivor these days! It was meant to replace the Borderer, but surviving Borderers must replace 400s many times over!

Very nice, just love the variety of truck in New Zealand. I guess the only place in the world where European, British, American, Japanase and Australian trucks drive hand in hand?

Best regards,

I'm fairly certain the snow plow is an ISUZU.
