    Re 72077.
    Us Brits used to use inches, feet and yards up until recent years. I have learnt something today in where the "Whole 9 yards " came from. Thanks.

    Yeah, and a Road Train is the same as a double-bottom with another one or two trailers behind. They are used in the Australian Outback, and I expect other places too.

    I wonder how long this monument would last two States South of where it is now?

    No, a road train is a semi-trailer (or articulated lorry) PLUS another two or three 40' trailers behind the truck and trailer combo. They're not allowed into major cities, but are used for long-haulin' livestock or food, etc to remote outback locations.

    Sorry I was referring to the original question about the term "semi".

    [​IMG]I don't know why the pic isn't showing ?. It comes up on my screen. I'll try again with the mystery car infront of the Studebakers.

    It's because the photo you are linking to is somewhere on AOL. You are seeing it because you are logged into AOL and that means anyone else trying to view it has to be logged into AOL. Not many people use AOL anymore.

    Copy the photo somewhere else (Flickr, Photobucket, etc.), then link it from there.

    Thank you Sylvian. I wondered why some posts photos I can see and others I can't. LowKats early posts and Old Motor I could not see. Will do that later as it is now 00.37 here in London and I'm off to bed.

    Right (mouse) click on the picture and save to your picture file - then you can use it any way you want.
