I always looked forward to gettting a new truck when i was at comet so i know where your coming from amigov...I saw my old wagon last week whilst i was filling up in wolvo near the comet depot and she`s in a bad state now it looks like somebody had hit the o/side running bar and box it almost made me cry.... ......congrats on your "PROMOTION" enjoy the wagon

in february i lose my scania for a brand new globetrotter xxl prestige with i-shift auto box . but the bad bit is that it still got a tag-axle and only be the 480 engine.
with the current economy the way it is i still think there time for boss to cancel order
enjoy your new comforts guy   but watch them big mirrors as they block you corner vision a lot more than scania's mirrors

Yes mate. i don't like tag axle lifts, this one's a mid, where they should be. TBH i wish we could run 44t on a 4x2 as the lift axle pins 'em down when freighted. The euro's seem to get away with it!
  I know what you mean about the mirrors, much as i love Vollies the Scannies give you more wide view when reversing on the blind side but i prefer the Vollies overall, got that solid feel to 'em & he bunks/storage & living space are spot on, cracking cabs.

I made myself a 12v clip on day/night cctv camera for the offside of the trailer (it was a lefty as I spent more time over the water than not!) it just plugged in to my tv on the dash, great view straight down the blind side! I still have it somewhere!

Think you should change your name to "Billy Big Wheels the gobstopper driver" you cant beat Volvo fh ,like you say tags a pain espacially if bad weathers coming up  :-/ :-/  

[ian6pot]

Cant beat a volvo truck,but i would say that as i work for Volvo as an Electrician on there trucks.

They are as complicated as you like but when they are unwell thay wont play,and if its new enough to have the Ad-blue system on it then get ready,you will get to know your dealer very well

Other than that,cracking truck
