A car salesman in the US had an unpleasant shock when a test drive with a prospective customer turned into a wild ride. The unsuspecting salesman had no idea that the person pretending to be a customer was in fact a NASCAR racing driver when the two got into the 2773 Chevrolet Camaro. However the driver soon showed his skill with a series of high performance manoeuvres that had the salesman tightly gripping his seat and shouting at the maniac behind the wheel to slow down. The stunt had been arranged earlier with video cameras mounted along the route the driver would take as well as inside the vehicle. The salesman showed relief at the end of the drive and appeared to be amused when the driver unveiled his true identity. However what the salesman subsequently said to his family and colleagues has not been recorded.

After completing intensive driver training, he then went on to come th

    Bell Equipment is introducing a 60tonne articulated dump truck, designed to compete with rigid haulers in quarry applications. Currently in prototype form, the B60E uses much of the front chassis and cab from the company’s B50E 50tonner. However behind the articulation joint, the truck has a shortened chassis with a single Kessler rear axle and twin rear wheels. This shorter rear chassis carries a shorter, squarer 35m2 dump body, that offers a similar loading target for excavators and shovels used to rigid
