Top video/pics mate. Thanks a lot! So many beautiful giants, so many memories... It's so sad that the vast majority of these trucks have been scrapped, when they helped to develop economies and provided bread and butter for their owners and operators. Yet, ferraris, porsches and others are kept safe and sound through the ages. Lord, where's the good men gone? :(
