Very nice indeed Dan, there aren't many of these around. I've been lucky enough to pick up a couple of these, after a "hole" lot of searching :D

Not as good as George's though. Don't mention the club, it's very secret. Have you learnt the special "Dennis" handshake? :lol:

Very nice Dan! You rascal you! I'm wondering where each of you found these. Did they all come from different parts of the world? That would seem to suggest that while very uncommon, they at least were spread out geographically.

Yes there is a handshake Dan. First you hold the refuse truck in your hand, You hold the truck you by your ear. Then you shake it to see if there are any spare wheels trapped inside the cab.
