Merc Actros 2551

Jesus wept, i’ve only driven one of our new shaped Actros’ the once on a trip, unfortunately the load had to be delivered so i didn’t have a spare day to read through the 14 volume handbook library, or the 345 page glossary of utterly pointless electronic anacronyms, a hateful piece of plastic junk which wouldn’t pull you out of bed and an exhaust brake thingy about as effective as a card stuck in your bike spokes to make clacking sounds (very 60’s), the only good thing about the day was taking me digicard out, removing the breeze block from the dashboard and pressing lock…whilst trying not to slip arse over head off the worlds cheapest most poorly designed steps ever fitted to a bloody lorry, that sodding steel step ring on a Scammell’s wheelnuts made for safer entry/exit :unamused:
