A55 East That BIG Hill !!

I dont know exactly where or what this hill is called but any one who's been along the A55 will know the one i'm talking about. This is me going up it in my 550hp Merc loaded with 24/25 ton of aluminium logs from Anglesey Aluminium.

Hialrious reading all the comments on here, some are funny, some are way to serious and some and just plain stupid!

Keep them coming. I dont have the truck any more i just have a Scania 141 instead that does 65mph every where!

[herwads]

if thats 90 miles an hour then your breaking the law mate, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[benners10]

Where did you get 90mph from? You know trucks are in general limited to 90KPH and most speedo's are again in general in KPH, well the big numbers anyway.

[jazzwing]

To be fair, you overtook a car and then slowed right down.

[benners10]

i take it your not a lorry driver? Along a dual carrige way any normal driver will sit on his speed limiter some where between 52 & 56 mph. This truck did 57 so i started going up at 57mph, the car was going slower so i overtook like any other driver of any other vehicle. But when you start going up a hill in a truck with a load on gravity tends to get the better of you and you start slowing down, a bit or a lot depending on whether you drive a Scania or a Merc!!

yr motor needs seeing to my old 143 450 that been done at feathers and puts out 540 will go up there at 56 the same as my 144 530 on the limiter and both at 44t not yr 39 and koln in germany is prounced cologne not koln thats how cologne is spelt in german!

[benners10]

As you drive over the bridge the sign says Koln, so thats how the Germans call it, seeing as its only us english who change the name of european towns to suit our language, i thought i'd go continental!

Haha I know this hill well. Years ago I had an old fiesta that wasn't too keen on it. Had to build up a lot of momentum before starting the climb!

@benners10

LOL. Been there, done that. Thought I saw a bicycle pass you about half way up. Did you try getting out and pushing?

[Synicade]

I was looking for a review of the Sony A55 camera >.>

[username2153]

[JohnFotios]

We took an old minibus up this hill in second doing 25mph XD

[BarneyTygwyn]

Think its bad now, you should try the old road (which is still there) you wouldn't have enough ratios in your box!
