A few of these Hollanders for press use used to cross the German-Dutch border where I lived regularly - although at ungodly times - when I was a kid.

I only pretty recently learned that they were capable of their high speed runs in spite or being hopelessly overloaded with magazines and newspapers. I neve realised how heavy paper is for hauling!

As a bookworm who has moved house quite a fair few times in his life, believe me, it is f*cking heavy!

As a truck driver who has [rarely] hauled big paper rolls, can confirm. We would usually only have 7 of them in a trailer (7' tall, 4' thick when stood on end) and they weighed ~6,000lbs each.

Jesus, it's like a Holden Sandman on steroids, I'd totally rock one of those.

History of Hollander cars on youtube. The Hollander cars would run at 120 mph.

There's a video about these on YouTube somewhere, I watched it ages ago.

They one at the back on the trailer is a sort-of van conversion of a CX used to carry newspapers, or stories, something like that, at very high speed. The main one in the picture is used to recover the van when it breaks. Which they did, a lot IIRC.
