Title: The Great 4 Wide Truck Off!
Post by: Patrick on June 04, 2021, 04:38 pm
Not a huge fan of the 4-wides myself but couldn't resist John's suggestion of a truck off ;-)  Had to have the air horns though!

The 4wide caused an accident ,luckily the 6wide came to the rescue. The 6wide might be a little bit bullyish

Stylised on the movie where all the trucks went on a human killing spree with AC\DC soundtrack and the new city stuntz theme(thankfully it's a 6wide truck)

Here's my 4-wide truck! Featuring an extremely yellowed old 1x8 white brick still bearing an impressively hardy Octan sticker.

Might have to rebuild this in 6-wide one day, I really like it but it's too small for my city!

Love the octan stripes and bonneted rigs are way more stylish, you could make a 4wide scrap yard or just say" these trucks are 4wide those trucks are far away! "

I read that in my best Dermot Morgan voice, “small … far away”!

Excellent build Tom. As John said, love the bonneted rig. We’ll have to have a meet up and race them down a hill 😉
