It's a nice looking vehicle, and really stands out on a day like today.

Nice photos too.

Lol, Bronson, that reminds me of 'Round the twist'.

Wow, that's frightening tall. I get dizzy on a 2m ladder, I'd hate to be on that thing :P

The big thing for me is that I stood next to this truck at Kambah Fire Station & it seemed quite a big truck. But now that I've seen the ladder at full height it appears quite a lot smaller.

You get dizzy on a 2m ladder? But you're like 2m tall.. does that mean you get dizzy just standing up?

Well, it would explain a lot if that were the case lol.

But seriously, I'm used to my height, anything higher is a worry.
