What do you consider a "proper" truck?

 

[cheddar cheese]

The Volvo FH12 8)

 

[JCS]

well lemme reword that, what makes european trucks more "proper" than american trucks?

 

[lesofprimus]

They aint proper trucks...

Maybe in Britian they arent, but over here, when u say Truck, thats what ur talking about..... If u wanna squeeze lemons, its a Semi-Truck.... Just like a pickup truck is a truck as well, only they are referred to as "Pickups"....

 

[plan_D]

It's the same here, les. We also have vans...and pickups, are known as pickups...

 

[lesofprimus]

Then what the hell is CC carrying on about then???? His picks didnt show up for me..... Is he talking like cargo carrying box trucks or something???

 

[plan_D]

No, it was a semi. It's just that our Semis look different from yours.

 

[lesofprimus]

So according to CC, American trucks are not "proper" and the Brit way of things are the "proper" way???? What kind of one sided thinking is this CC????

 

[plan_D]

It's actually not Brit 'cos British don't make many trucks. It's European...and CCs favourite appears to be Swedish (Volvo)

 

[lesofprimus]

I meant the terminolgy CC was using, as opposed to who manufactures them...

 

[plan_D]

I think American trucks look better, personally. Ours are much more suited to European roads though, American ones have huge snouts for the engine and it's just too big.

God, I miss having a truck! Even a little Japanese jobbie would be handy right about now!

I saw this little Korean 'truck' when I was in Gran Canaria, it was cool. Only one person could fit in it, and it was tiny with three wheels...I want that...for comical purposes...

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'd buy that little three wheeled Korean truck...if I wanted to get the snot beat out of me!

 

[plan_D]

Being 6'1, I don't think I could have even fit in it. But the entertainment value would be worth enough for me to buy it

That was some funny shiznit Nonskim.....

With me being 6'6", I'd have to cut a hole in the roof to sit in it.....

 

[Nonskimmer]

At 6'3", I think I'd have the same problem.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yup, but aint it cool when 80% of the people u meet have to look up at u????

 

[Nonskimmer]

Hell yeah!
