Both unveiled in 1978, MC and MR shared the same front face, including after the 1981 face-lift:![[Image: cuwQ8PHm.jpg]](http://imgur.com/cuwQ8PHm.jpg "http://imgur.com/cuwQ8PHm.jpg") ![[Image: 4EGXqsjm.jpg]](http://imgur.com/4EGXqsjm.jpg "http://imgur.com/4EGXqsjm.jpg") (1978 brochures: MC // MR - Click here for larger versions) As refuse truck, this one is therefore an MR, the specialized garbage version of these twins. -- Last edit: 2016-08-06 06:26:01 |

Sorry, and I do know what you really mean, but "specialised garbage" creates an amusing mental picture! |

@ johnfromstaffs: Sorry, but as English is not my mother tongue, I may sometime have it hard to find the good words or way to say things .gif ":)") Would garbage specialized version be more relevant? In a nutshell, a version made specifically for the waste collection. |

Please do not be offended, using English is like trying to eat soup with a fork. "The version of these twins specialised for garbage collection" works, since the vehicle is American. If it were English, the term garbage is less likely, we use "refuse" pronounced as "reff-yooce" but meaning garbage just the same. The fact that this word when pronounced riffyooze is a completely different thing shows what a a mess the English language can be. The position of the words specialised garbage next to each other suggests to an Englishman that the adjective refers directly to the noun, and not to the use of the vehicle. Of course, you could just say dustcart! I have to add that I could not use any language other than English with any accuracy, so I should never be critical of others. -- Last edit: 2016-08-09 08:41:37 |

Don't worry, I don't feel offended. How can one progress if one's errors are not pointed out? I like the idea of "trying to eat soup with a fork", but I'm sure this could also apply to a lot of other languages  |

Maybe this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_truck could help. That is what we called them |
