Lots of Lovely yank Haulers there.. would love a Kenworth, but alas they fuel would kill me!

some of the French canadian Cummins beasts are rediculous for smoke and sounds!

however, gotta love a 6v92 at full chat..

Victory is a cracking film , no doubt and up there with The Great Escape, but cars don't make much of an apperance and I'm not a football fan so it's not on my fave list.
But it seems that car movies seem to feature a lot in my fave list;

Smokey and the Bandit
Gone in 60seconds (original!!)
Vanishing Point (original!!)
Two-Lane Blacktop
American Graffitti
The Driver
Convoy

Of course loads of other cracking chase movies- Ronin, Italian Job (original), French Conection, Hooper, Bullitt, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, The Seven-Ups, etc etc

"legal" weight limits in the US are 80,000lbs/40 tons. At least without an overweight/oversize hauling permit and escort service. And it's usually standard road trucks used to haul overweight/oversize loads.
