Imagine the morning when your refrigerator is over milk, and three small children want porridge, banana cocktail and preferably cheesecakes with sour cream. You are already hesitant to call a neighbor to look after the children of screaming to run to the store, on your doorstep... The milkman comes from the Guinness Book of Records!
It's right in front of you! I rushed to the aid of the other end of the city. The children ran out into the street and joyfully greet a bright and cheerful uncle truck savior. It remains to reach out and take all the necessary products. But where did it come from — a truck that is capable of a small town with fresh vkusnyatinkoy dairy farm for only one morning?
One author of the automobile department of newspaper The Sun saw on TV, «The Benny Hill Show.» They showed a plot about the fastest milkman named Ernie, who unsuccessfully tried to take care of the lonely widow. There's been such a funny word in the song about how «she touched the cake» unfortunate baker, and the speed of transport from the milkman like and innocent. The show ended, but the story firmly stuck in the memory. Rob Gill, who loves his job, tried to teach creatively and interesting material. He longed tasty experiment. The author asked for support from the manufacturer of breakfast cereal Weetabix. The company agreed to help, and the whole team newspaper The Sun enthusiastically refitted truck Leyland Crompton 1978 release in some miracle.
It is known that Leyland — one of the oldest companies in the world in the production of trucks. Brothers James and William Sumner founded the «Lancashire company to produce steam wagons» — Lancashire Steam Motor Company on the site of an old foundry in the town of Leyland, Lancashire.
During his more than a century old company Leyland made its way from the village shop to the largest British car manufacturer, and was famous for its huge and clumsy steam trucks and heavy haulers. During the energy crisis of the 70s. and the lack of military contracts, the company «Leyland» was on the verge of bankruptcy, and they had to unite with the electrical company «Crompton Parkinson» (Crompton Parkinson), which was considered the country's first manufacturer of «classical» razvoznyih elektrofurgonov. Joint masterpiece released in 1978 and was named Leyland Crompton. It is this model was destined to champion.
Team newspaper The Sun and talented mechanics have replaced electric truck on the 350-horsepower V8 engine production Rover and installed 22-inch wheels. Rob Gill was dispersed on the miracle converted to 136 kilometers per hour was the fastest milkman in the world.
It would be great, whether Rob Gill this milkman, which helps children and mothers around the world, although it is unlikely he will be allowed to drive as fast on the tracks suburb.
