Yep - I spotted that bit but thought that was too obvious! umm... to make room for the fancy air inlets, cos its souped up for guaranteed before 9 a.m. deliveries? |

Is it an early electic car, electric motor in the front, with the strange grill to give cooling to the motor and gubbins. THe batterys in the back.
Failing that - its an Escort that thinks its an Ogle design motor.

Seems a bit ironic based on it's position.....................but, this is a specialist vehicle that is used for bridge deck inspections. The hydraulic gantry sections go up, then out then under the deck (underneath itself). In fact it's a 'hybrid' based on heavy lift crane/ telehoist systems. Similar to this one..................  |

Similar to this one.................. - Spot on - The storey is below, The vehicle ran into the parapet of a bridge on which it had previously been working, coming to rest with the front of the vehicle overhanging a field.
The under-bridge unit teeters over the bridge parapet
No other vehicles were involved and no one was injured it is not certain how the accident occurred but investigations are continuing.
The road next to the Crook O'Lune car park had been closed overnight while the maintenance work was carried out. The company said that the platform had been about to leave the site after successfully completing its task which the incident happened. Bit sad really, you spend all day in inspecting the bridge, and the damage it as you leave. Off now to look for another strange pic - be right back. |

Thats true, wnet on one late at night under a bridge, so you could not see the drop below you, but still makes you bum twitch. OK - trying another one - You lot at good at guessing knowing the cars I post, bit harder here - So take a Seat - What motor is this from, (simple one to start with) |
