No, that's not what he's saying. The mine owners, rather than paying these guys to truck things, would drive the bigass Haul trucks over the road. Those fuckers are 31 ft wide.

1914 Militaire had outriggers that could be deployed with a lever at slow speeds. That $165k was this year, not 1914.

I used to drive a huge Cat 769 at a mine in PA.
We had to drive them up the mine road, across a public road and up to the edge of an abandoned mine, back up to the edge, dump the waste and return, over and over. One poor soul got too close to the edge, which crumbled out from under him and he and his truck went over and rolled to the bottom. The bed was torn off the chassis but the truck was otherwise undamaged. The owners brought in a big wrecker, righted the truck, got it running, drove it out of the pit, replaced the hydraulics, put the bed back on and had the thing back at work in two days. The driver, not so much. He lived to tell the tale, albeit with a broken leg and two broken arms. |

That's a shitload of weight, living on the edge is hazardous to your health. He was lucky to live.

That '38 IH is a beautiful thing.

The problem with the '38 IH is the cab was made at the end of the depression when most folks were skinny. Two of us fat guys wouldn't have room for a lunch box.
Whenever we had to fit three in, if there was a girl, she got put in the middle straddling the shifter. Sorry, but I need first and third too.  One of the SSR guys customized his truck to look like that '53 chevy.

How did VW ever get in on the Ghia action? It's pretty remarkable that they did. Pretty looking car.

Ghia was a coachbuilder and by extension, a designer, or maybe the other way round. They made prototypes for everyone, adding the Italian pizzazz to normally staid marques. Very few actually saw production, but were great attention whores at the car shows.
I've always been fond of the Volvo P-1800.

Well, tomorrow, the hangover is the point.
Wasn't gonna drink today. But that deviation from the norm has been seen to. Cellar style. Time to belly up. See ya later.
