Time's running out on Euro-5 RPCs! And for registering a Euro-4 chassis for derogation says Biglorryblog!

I'm indebted to 'Two-Stroke' for reminding me that the deadline for claiming a Reduced Pollution Certificate on a Euro-5 truck expires on the 30th September. Why? Because from 1 October Euro-5 becames mandatory. Likewise in the unlikely (though not impossible) event that you've got an unregistered Euro-4 truck tucked away somewhere, then don't forget that it needs to be on a manufacturer's derogation list pretty sharpish---unless you're planning to preserve it in aspic (or cryogenically freeze it and place it in a time-capsule for discovery in 1,000 year's time when it will qualify as a vintage truck!) Come to think of it, a brand new truck in a 1,000 years time would be worth a fortune. I wonder if Mrs BLB would object to me burying a new artic in her rockery...?  Meanwhile, click through here for a truck that definitely ISN'T Euro-5.....

In fact I think the picture shows a 'Euro-nothing' truck just getting going....any ideas what it might be?.

Looks like a touch of turbo-lag to me.
