BigLorryBlog has been the site for some recent bragging about “mine is longer than yours”. The latest entry, a wind turbine blade,comes with an actual measurement, a whopping 61.5 meters (202 feet). But the previous entry (after the jump) is nothing to be embarrassed about either, even thought it lacks any official measurements. Note that neither load was being pulled by a Hummer.

- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Nice look, but too short.
- EBFlex Considering Ford assured us the fake lightning was profitable at under $40k, I’d imagine these new EVs will start at $20k.
- Fahrvergnugen cannot remember the last time i cared about a new bmw.
- Analoggrotto More useless articles.
- Spamvw Did clears to my '02 Jetta front markers in '02. Had to change the lamps to Amber. Looked a lot better on the grey wagon.I'm guessing smoked is illegal as it won't reflect anymore. But don't say anything about my E-codes, and I won't say anything about your smoked markers.

Speaking of long trucks. Here's a picture from Hemmings.com of a 60ft long trailer from 1942. The custom-built trailers were used to transport B-24 bomber parts from factory to factory. The tractor used two engines linked to a single transmission. Can you imagine driving this thing cross country in those pre-interstate highway days? http://cll.hemmings.com/uimage/3787032-748-531.jpg
Judging by all the chrome and bullbar... the last truck is from Aussiesland. 61.5 mts is effing long.
