Took the oportunity to photograph Nev today with one of the finest looking rigs I have ever come across.
R> M Williams can be rightly proud of this vehicle.

Hi John253a
The driver told us that the truck was supplied to R & M Williams for free but the paintwork cost more than the truck.
He has a great job driving the rig all around Australia setting up and serving in the mobile shop at different events.
His wife is also employed by Williams and drives a company Ford F250 Ute and 25ft Jayco caravan  to the same events as their accomodation. The ute is painted the same as the truck and looks just as good. At present they are up in Queensland doing a show.
If you liked the photo you woud just love to see the rig as it stands. When not away it is parked on the side of the road in Remembrance Drive Bargo NSW just north of the township. It is well worth a look for anyone wishing to driver down to see it.

Yeah the truck was supplied free by Western Star as a promotion for both companies. This is actually the 3rd one they have supplied in the 12 or so years the Longhorn Express has been operating.
