I knew there'd be a catch Henry! You blokes!

Good one Henry . . dunno how common a name it is for a truck, but a mate of mine has a Unimog called Molly.

A member of our bush poets club ( John ) was reciting a poem like that with the mystery
sweetheart ( a cow ) and UNFORTUNATELY another of our members sitting in the audience blurted out in a stage whisper the punch line. John finished it, but you should have seen his face

Good one Henry,
I had an old mate I'd catch up with on occasion, his undying love was his old Foden (is that how you spell it)
He didn't mind a drop of the amber fluid either, but not when he was truck driving.

Cheers Terry

That looks like a fun machine. We always gave our trucks names, mostly based on make, So there was Molly, Mary and Mildred, - all Mack Prime movers. Then there were the rigid tippers, Fanny Foden and Lulu Leyland.

They were all female names of course, based on the undeniable fact that they would almost certainly give you trouble and cost you money.

Really Henry!! My old Mazda 929 wagon was a Molly as well I had her 23 years and she never cost me near as much as the relationships did and she lasted longer and was always reliable....it is a furphy that the female of the species are expensive to maintain, it comes down to selecting the right one for the job. We also had 2 Leyland trucks and they were much the same...great workhorses, not fancy nancys and just kept on keeping on until the boss decided to trade up to a better looking, younger Asian model with a bit more get up and go and found his money did likewise
