Daf 2000 ( remember the little blue flame on the exhaust when you where struggling up the Brenner?)
Daf 2800 ATI DKSE, most reliable, easy to fix, long distance truck which would always get you home (even without alternator working, or on less than 6 cylinders)
Scania Vabis 85 Super, for its time, years ahead with a good synchro gearbox and power steering, lovely truck with a flat floor and relative lot of space.
Volvo F12, moved trucking into the next century, comfortable, powerful, easy driving and the Globetrotter was the start of spacious cabs and there was thought for the driver put in.
I am not a Scania man and after the 112 / 113 everything else what they made is overrated.
A V8 is for American pick up truck for Rednecks to drive, not a truck engine.
The modern truck don’t cut it for me, the interiors look scabby after a couple of years, the outside dated, the FH is not a bad truck, but after the series 1, it all went down south on the quality, interiors and the wiring, shame for otherwise a magnificent manufacturer.
