Recently spotted in Portsmouth was this converted flatbed lorry operated by IME Engineering. What looks to be some kind of new exhaust system has been fitted in what could be an attempt to circumvent new emission regulations coming into force.
When asked for comment Gary Hatch of IME said, “Although cargo space has been compromised, by converting these pieces into some sort of exhaust gas scrubber it is hoped we will dodge any future emission charges.” Jim Moody, another employee who didn’t want to be named said that, “Although it looks a bit Heath Robinson at the moment, our design office is currently drawing the MKII version on the back of another fag packet.”
