Driving 1970s eight legged tipper's, crash box , in cab noise levels of rolling down hill in a metal dustbin full of rocks.
The things we used to do with them, like widening and old railway embankment, turning round with the front steering axle overhanging 20 feet of fresh air whilst a banksman watched you do a 20 point turn and running stone out relandscaping open cast coal mines along tracks with the body raising up as you drove with the tailgate held open 3inch with a chain , a bit hairy at times, body rolling all over the place, nearly rolled it into a lake once, but if you got it right it made a cracking good smooth job , so long as you kept it upright.
