    Well, our lorries are different to your trucks.

    Ours are flat fronted, yours have a bonnet.

    Ours are taller, yours are wider.

    Ours go like sh*t off a shovel, your Kenworths couldn't pull a greased kitten out of bed.

    I know that place!!!

    I lived in Nottingham for a few years.

    Btw, I think they call a "bonnet" a "hood" over there - not to be mixed up with a downtown hood, but I digress...

    Would you like to supersize that?

    Howdy Englishman.

    We've got those here too.

    We call them cab overs.

    I prefer the ones with the 'Bonnet' tho.

    Do you drive the rigs? Oh sorry. American term ya know. :-)

    Do you drive the lorries?

    Most major highways here only allow up to 13'6" in hight do to overhangs.

    Of course there are certain roadways that allow higher than 13'6" but a permit must be gotten.

    How high are the lorries allowed to go?

    ps. A rig sounds much more like a truck than a lorrie!!!
