Next to my American Truck Pictures site (mackmuppet) I have decided to create an extra blog for the European Truck Pictures.
Welcome to the Blog with pictures of the most beautiful European Trucks. In this Blog I will try to give an overview of European Trucks driving around. Scania's, DAFs, Volvo's and other trucks from especially Europe old and new will be shown and added to this log to give a complete overview and impression of the European trucks. If you have any additional information, pictures, prints or documentation, please send a reaction via one of my messages and I will add it, after contacting you by mail.
The MAN With A Mission. After having won the Dakar 2007 rally, the Central Europe and last but not least the TransOrientale rally Hans and his team are ready to go to South America. The trucks and teams have gone almost all over the world and are a winning team. Let us find out what the Argentina Chile rally in 2009 will bring. The truck has proven it even before the start, just like mister Racey Stacey!
A colorfull truck that also has driven the Transoriental rally and the Dakar rally before is this one. It belongs to the Dakar Sport raceteam. With cars, motorbikes a quad and trucks in the team they are a big team. This Ginaf is driven by Paul Blom.
This is another orange truck in the De Rooij team. This is a Daf however and this one is driven by Hans Bekx. He has driven the Dakar rally for many years already and used to be the competitor from Jan de Rooij. Now they are a team. This Daf will also drive the rally to Dakar in Senegal, let us say the real Dakr rally!
This is the big Ginaf driven by Gerard de Rooij in the 2009 Argentina to Chile rally. Today he was 2nd in the preproloog in Valkenswaard. Hans Stacey was just some seconds faster and that made him the winner in todays rally.
This beautiful picture I made today at the preproloog in Valkenswaard. The Ginaf is driven by Hugo Duisters and will join Gerard de Rooij in the South America rally in january 2009. Although the sand is still in my hair while writing this text I think it is a perfect shot!
