2012 Costa Tuff Truck Picture Thread

Postby skid » Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:18 am

decided it would be better to start a separate thread for pics of this years Costa Tuff Truck..............................



the ORE team consisted of 3 trucks and 6 guys, they had fun competing and thoroughly enjoyed themselves, heres a shot of the team in action, oh wait theres someone missing from the shot, that would be coz he was sunbathing behind the camera whilst the rest of the team were making an effort :roll: :roll:

and heres a whole bunch of other randoms competing......

ENJOY

It's fairly common I believe. Had one catch fire in the carpark outside work. Kept lighting up again as soon as you put it out. It shorted the starter cable, which runs around behind the engine to the starter. The whole thing was glowing bright orange and lighting up everything on the firewall. Got My workmate to hold the extinguisher on it while I ran in and found a spanner to rip the battery lead off. There's no way you could have stopped it with those little extinguishers in the photo....
