Couldn't resist it, what a pic! I'm gonna frame it,these things are mentally HUGE! sorry it's a bit dark.I've been tearing around a quarry for the last 2 days providing Medical/Rescue Cover for Top gear, a real good few days(and yes, I've got blue lights on the roof of my Warrior! The ultimate mod. )

they run quiet because there electric

the diesel engine provides power to electric motors that run the wheels

the fire hose is for water to keep the dust down

from the angle of the picture it looks more like a water boweser

did it have a tipper on the back or a tank

PS THATS ONLY A SMALL ONE

the ones we sometimes drive in work are twice the size of that one

Deffo had a tipper, you see it from a distance with little rocks in the back, then up close they're proper Boulders the size of a shed!
