Monster Trucks Behind the Scenes

    Monday 20th July 1998

    As John drove through Sunday night, into Monday we stopped off along the way a few times to rest & to get freshened up. For me I spent allot of the journey dozing on & off, pretending to John that I was just resting my eyes ! & that I wasn't really sleeping most of the way.

    Some of the roads had quite big bumps in them & the trailer got bounced around allot. About 20 miles from our destination John's radiator cap blew off, as his engine was so hot. Luckily he was able to take the one from the Sudden Impact truck & use it on the rig. It was then that we discovered that another one of the strobe lights in the trailer had come crashing down along with other stuff, being thrown around in the back of the trailer. Also Sudden Impact itself was leaning against the side of the trailer, as it's the sway bars which keep the truck upright, along with the shock absorbers Which  where both broken. 

    We eventually got back to the home of Sudden Impact at about 8pm.
    There John got straight down to unloading Sudden Impact, with the help of his crew.

    To get the truck out of the trailer, John & his friends had to jack up the side of the truck to get it level, before he could reverse it out of the trailer.

    John then put the truck back into the garage.
