SWMBO has a Volvo 940 that cost just short of £100 to fill up, but's not that bad.
So what is it a T72 tank or something ;D

14 seconds more like ::) by the time the gearbox has woken up ;D
Was actually quite a good day from an experience point of view. All the short, sharp showers on sunbaked roads have made them really greasy which gave the ESP a good work out...

Fixed :y They have an older Axor on the fleet, which is known locally as 'The Skip' ;D but is at least a manual... given they way they rust, you're not wrong about recycled the U boat though ;D
Personally prefer driving this...

520 Bhp, and I-shift, which is basically an automatic that knows what you're thinking. But being an agency driver, it doesn't happen very often :'(

Years ago I pulled alongside a solo tractor unit at the lights one morning on my way home from work. Mr HGV decided to give me a run for my money ....... I only overtook him as his speed limiter kicked in! :o :y :y

Without a trailer the power to weight ratio jumps from 10-14 bhp/t to 85-95 bhp/t, with torque to match 8)
They can get quite tail happy with no weight over the rear axle, which is, erm, interesting when you're sat seven feet off the ground :-\

Got to be an empty tank ::) :P :P

Now that's what you call a tank slapper ;D
Good job the road was empty though :-\

Given how close the following truck was and that it didn't brake at any point, along with the fact that it appears to 'settle down' only to suddenly get markedly worse.. I suspect it was being done deliberately..

I once pulled into a gas station and put in 1400 litres of Diesel.
Back to the same station later on in the day, having used it all !
