oooooooooooops

my co have a truck working on a building site,its been there for about 2 months now,the new houses have been springing up all over the site.
i popped down there today and wandered down to where the truck is parked,the roadway that led to the truck seemed a bit narrow so i got the tape measure out and measured the gap,then we measured the width of the truck.
you can guess the outcome

you've been building cars, surely stripping a truck and rebuilding it should be easy enough?

I know a house builder that built an entire estate of houses with garages so small you had to climb out the boot / sunroof to get out.

Can you tunnel out?!

Cheers

I worked on a job where we had to get 10ft wide containers down an 8ft wide road.

Sky hook was the answer, i.e. RAF Chinnok, only joking

if only it were possible with a chinook!

a tatra 813 has an unladen weight of 14tonnes, a chinook can only lift 12470kg

sikorsky sea stallion it is then

i really can't help but chuckle at the scale of the problem.

surely not a problem, the tatra will drive clean through the house without any problem surely!!!

The fella I was on about HAS bought one now, reckons he can get it road reg. though goodness knows how, but even with a lot of work reckons its cheaper than a JCB fastrac for the work he's using it for!!????





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

What you need is a work experience lad! Give him the keys and tell him to just bring the truck around the front. That should either get it out via a field, or take a large chunk of house out.
