Thanks for the video.I remember Turkish lorries which came to Iran when I was truck driver during the 80's. Most of the turkish trucks were old Ford .Overloaded ,smoking like a coal fueled boiler! and were driving 50km/hr in a straight road because they were too heavy.It was during the iran-iraq war.The turkish driver smuggled millions of litters of diesel from Iran.Of course They paid for the fuel and bribed the workers at the stations.but the price of diesel in Turkey was 30 times than iran.Their fuel tank was hide into the chassis and had a volume of up to 2000 liters. They also caused lot of accidents.Iran's road and drivers were not any highlander either but at that time we had much better trucks.Mack,Volvo,Scania. Nowadays we have Chinese!! It was the beginning of a road to destruction of a country and we still were rich country even that we were in the war. Compare iran with turkey now.Iran is more like poorest country in africa.Honestly its not the turk's fault .we were stupid and brought the mullahs. Our country is fucked now. Sorry it became a long comment.My apologies!

What was the cargo? Had to be something REALLY special to make it worth it to transport from England all the way to Bagdad
