They can get quite tail happy with no weight over the rear axle, which is, erm, interesting when you're sat seven feet off the ground :-\

Something like this, Al? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT8Eh7BBqOQ ;D

1100 bhp is just greedy ;D like to see that with a trailer on it ::)

Ok, ok.. with a trailer (well, tanker): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p9p6gu3cNA

Given how close the following truck was and that it didn't brake at any point, along with the fact that it appears to 'settle down' only to suddenly get markedly worse.. I suspect it was being done deliberately..

I once pulled into a gas station and put in 1400 litres of Diesel.

Back to the same station later on in the day, having used it all !
