As regular readers of ACC will know, the Norwegians love their old trucks and certainly go on some interesting runs. Regular contributor Lars Petter Skau sent in these words and pictures.
We've been holding the Tommy Run for several years now. Tommy Olsen is the organiser of the event so that's where the name comes from! It's the traditional last run before the winter and snow comes to Norway. We drive a route planned by Tommy and finish with a dinner and much talking in a cafe (Ed - we're all the same!).
Above: Volvo N84, Scania LS80, Scania Vabis L50 Super, Scania Vabis L36 (both Vabis' are powered by a four-cylinder engine) and Scania LS 81 with an awesome load and equally impressive loading arm. Below: book-ended by Scanias, Lars' well-travelled International is joined by a tidy N-series (?) Volvo.
Below: this Scania LS111 was on its first run after restoration. Lars, if you read this, what's the significance of the girls on the radiators? Are they tyre advertisements?
