    Crikey, how many of those Caterpillar dump trucks do you have? I'm assuming at least 57 from the photos...

    Would be a grand race I reckon!

    Only the driver knows....and the only thing he's saying is "I don't know"

    There is a little berm beside the road he ran up on, but on its own would not be enough to tip it up...

    Reactive Centrifugal Force - Looking at the back of the picture its appears the front left and rear right have gone up, he's gun'd it in a panic, and excuse the pun he's reached tipping point, happens a lot with tracked and 4x4vehicles.. and always happens at low speeds = 30ks and below.

    This item is in Danish, but I reckon the picture speaks for itself: http://politiken.dk/indland/article866195.ece

    my old man drove his d12 catapillar into a sink hole (unknowingly ofcourse) in ashburton, only a couple of the rippers and some of the track was left uncovered, took 2 weeks to dig it out.
    SHE LOOKED UP AT ME WITH BLOOD IN HER EYES
    THEN HER SKIN FELL OFF
    AND SHE PROMPTLY DIED
    IT WAS EBOLA, LA LA LA EBOLA

    Quote 1 was metaphorical....wages paid to nationals are many times the national average....

    All you need to do is experience Kyrgyz driving....a country where everyone buys their license...to understand the problem.
