Those plain white trucks and trailers are crying out for decent paint jobs! I've often though about painting something by hand on their sides, maybe a landscape. It's on my list of things to do!

Jamiescotland,
I spent approx. 6 years in Aberdeen at the turn of the century (working on an offshore project): are you from the Scottish Highlands?

Oh great! I know Aberdeen a little, but I live on the West coast - Fort William - right in the mountains. I'm English but I've lived up here for 23 years. There's a big saw mill near me so the roads are full of log lorries and Tigercats!!!
