The one in the second thumbnail is an Autocar, though. 'Gloppitta-Gloppitta machine?' Uhh, okay. -- Last edit: 2008-11-02 04:04:38

Not that I can't see why anyone would do so. Did I mention that the Autocar in that 2nd thumbnail is not the same truck? -- Last edit: 2008-11-02 04:22:25

This machine figures in one of his stories and is shown in the cartoon he draws as making the sound 'gloppitta gloppitta'. It makes that sound in the film, too, though I think it's voiced by an actor and mixed with some mechanical sound effects.
