    The ultimate NA conventional:

    Most likely it has an indoor swimming pool.

    Ultimate? I guess if you're ignorant and have no idea what you're talking about. Looks goofy and heavy but some drivers actually live in their trucks over here. You know if that's your home it's nice to have a shower, toilet, etc.

    Well if you can not rest your elbow on the bunk when sitting in the drivers seat , it confuses Alpo.

    The Paris Dakar race has started again, in Argentine. Many trucks, for most of the watchers the most interesting participants.

    No NA trucks, all EU trucks, except for one Hino. However DAF will represent PACCAR, so just a little bit of NA influence after all.

    You can find the web site of Paris Dakar here :

    http://www.dakar.com/index_DAKus.html

    At the top of the page you can change from French to English.

    Another example of European superiority in a race no-one in NA cares about?

    You just can't stand the fact that we do not like EU trucks can you? Well, here are some races that don't have any EU trucks, all NA trucks.







    Notice something else? No automatics.

    Remarkable, there certainly are similarities between the Baja 1000 and Paris Dakar, so why shouldn't you be interested?

    What's remarkable about someone not having interest in a European race taking place in their former African colonies? There's a lot of racing over here off road and on that doesn't involve any European manufacturers and you care about it?
     
    spyder7723 and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    There was talk of Volkswagen coming into NASCAR until they got caught cheating US diesel emissions regs.
