Biglorryblog can proudly reveal the latest hi-tech (and highly-impressive) developments in HGV artic braking systems from the other side of the pond---and here are the exclusive pictures to prove it. Yes the new 'Stoponadime' patented artic braking system is only months from being introduced on production chassis. Stoponadime development engineer Clyde Ankle tells BLB: "Its sure works real fine and dandy..only we've got ourselves a bit of a problem with the trailer taking a mite longer to come to a complete rest....but we're figurin' it out!" Now click through here for more....
This strange piece of artic art comes to me via Rod Simmonds in new Zealand who says: "Maybe ex-USA--haven't seen it before, maybe you have. Rod." Well it's news to BLB too and I can't work out if it's on a beach or in a desert rather like the Cadillac ranch sculpture...can anyone shed any light on where this is and who did it?
Either way it's a clever piece of work!
It must have taken quite a bit of work to assemble it in it's final resting place...
And for a pie what are the trucks!?

It's a piece called "Big Rig Jig" that was debuted at a Burning Man festival a couple years ago. There is a website devoted to the piece. I always liked the look of the FLD with a set back axle, Sad to see a pair of them carved up for a freak show.
This is a contraption from Burning Man - I'm not sure which year it was. You can check Burningman.com to find out...
