It never ceases to amaze me why they put these vehicles on the road in the day time.
Surely it is best for everyone to shift them in the middle of the night so the vast majority of us are not inconvenienced?

I bumped into one of these type things last week around Congleton/Holmes Chapel.
Don't know how long the vehicle and transporter was but it was very long and slow moving.
Didn't particularly bother me, probably because I was near the front and I quite liked looking at whatever it was.
As it turns out they do quite a few stops so that traffic can pass.
