Default Whats the biggest vehicle you've driven

What is the biggest vehicle you have driven. You can take biggest to mean size, length, width or power/engine size.

I have driven a mini bus and a van and the Long Wide Wheel base meant it cornered better that I expected (at least with no load in it!)

I really want to have a go on a JCB Digger. Perhaps I should go to Diggerland.

Default Re: Whats the biggest vehicle you've driven

Many years ago we used to run (with friends) horse shows. Fed up with hiring vans to cart everything around in, we bought an old RM London double decker bus. Took out the downstairs seats so we could use it as storage. Left the maximum seats allowed upstairs in order to be able to get it a standard MOT.

Great fun to drive, but a bit lonely for the driver as everyone else was upstairs

Size - Leyland Roadrunner 7.5 ton truck.

Power - Porsche 928 S4 - 340bhp

I did once get to nudge the throttles on an idling BR Class 55 Deltic. That's worth about 4500bhp but whether it counts as driving is debatable.

747 is worth a six figure bhp number I'd imagine.
