A Trucker From The Netherlands

 


 

This is a picture taken at a big truck festival here in the Netherlands.

It's a very big show. There are about 2,000 trucks participating at the race track of  TT Assen.


This big show in Holland will be on again in August and at that time a group of photos will be added on this site.

 

 


 

The location of this truckshow (below) and racing was at the race track of the Nuerburgring in Germany.

A French racing team brought along this Scania Longline, with Al Pacino
painted on the cab

The detail on the painting is excellent.

 

A nice Opel Blitz. A lot of older drivers learned to drive trucks on a unit like this. It was favourite for practicing and taking it for their drivers license test.
