    I just came across this and I thought I'd share:

    They're not mining ETF's, that's for sure :lol:

    But their coincidental name made me smile. If we could only mine ETF's...

    Good for doing doughies in the local Woolworths carpark too by the look of it

    That's the truck that holds the PMs from the ETFs. It drives from one ETF to show the punters that they are holding PMs, after they have a geek, it moves on to the next ETF and repeats the exercise ad nausum.

    The punters all insist that their ETF is solvent.

    Simples.

    Aint gonna lie, that page has some serious articulated truck porn. Watch the Flash animations (bad luck, iPad users, no truck porn for you) and try telling me I'm wrong, because I'm not. Follow some links from the innovation page for even more.

    Saw this a few years ago, not sure if they are real as I'm yet to see a real picture

    But how quiet are they? The current bane of mining operations is often noise and the required shutdowns.

    It looks like something from the thunderbirds with all the small wheels . It might actually be a better idea considering the cost of tyres for the big dump trucks at the mines
