Good evening,
So just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone one here knows/knew where any of them went.
I’m pretty sure there was 30 or 35 built.
I’m talking about the U that could go 60mph not the construction one…

I wonder how they control the throttle. Would they have had a foot throttle on that just in case you have an accident running at that kind of speed?

Throttle was probably controlled by common sense and work experience, nobody yapping on the phones, just my guess

Ha ha!!!
Only people who aren’t on their phone while driving around here are the older who don’t even know what a “smart phone” is….
I’d have to say to grease the front end every 2 hours?
