The drivers of these two lorries are members of the P.E.O.T.L. club (Petrol Engine Over Ten Litres) which is an organisation dedicated to reducing global warming by getting rid if the worlds supply of petrol as soon as possible by economic but enjoyable means. The driver of the Scammell Explorer is enhancing the pleasure of the Mack N.O. driver by allowing him to tow the Scammell up this steep hill. As the braking systems are connected by hoses, the Mack driver has the advantage of being able to prolong the sensation and use more petrol by applying the Scammells brakes by skilful use of the hand operated reaction valve as they crest the hill; sometimes this can be almost orgasmic!

Upon reaching the next hill the Mack driver unselfishly lets the Scammell push him up. As the Scammell is by far the more powerfull of the two the Mack driver uses his foot brake to apply both vehicles brakes at the same time. The non- standard canvas tilt on the Scammell hides the piles of scrap lead ballast from prying eyes, this being for travelling less hilly routes. These two heroes, founders of the extreme P.E.O.T.L.- L.R.A.D. faction (Left Running All Day) can, by using these time honoured and subtle techniques, get around on less petrol and personal expense overall, whilst still fulfilling the club’s constitutional requirement of maximum individual fuel use and maximum enjoyment!
