Chinese Trucks
Well, what can I say. I spent countless hours on the back of those trucks. Not very comfi, that's for sure. But then, it was the only option to move from one place to the other. MOT? Erm, yes, dream on mate. In Nepal, when it was really cold, like seriously cold, bus and truck drivers used to set up a fire under the engine to warm it up before starting it. I was pleasantly surprised (well sort of) to see that those ways of convincing a diesel engine to start and run were just the same on the other side of the Himalayans.
