My eldest lad’s Magnum had on the back of the cab … ‘Big Mack and Flies’

With sincerest regards, is that with or without the limiter…

With. It’s a 1993 or old K reg and has a 500 hp Mack engine which by today’s standards might be considered average, it’s been off the road now for about 10 years but he still has it stored.

the reason I asked was my godson is getting a new motor and he has bought ,top bottom light bars ,visor etc motor has to be washed at wk ends and when I asked he said I was to old to understand .his dad an x driver says the same as me …bloody nuts iyam :stuck_out_tongue:

Never understood why so many Scanias have a picture of a …king chicken on them.

I aint gonna bite, but someone will. :smiley:

Series 3 or 4 any day… Clutch in a Volvo FH this morning… sealing & calibration tomorrow… bed time and signing off… goodbye all.

Anyone seen those Intake Transport guys? The backs of their cabs are all individual. Seen one with Porridge on the back.

The driver chucking his breakfast over the cab doesnt count as art work for a truck though :grimacing:

Could be modern art.

others have probably seen it but last year I saw a tractor unit that celebrated transport from the 50s 60s and early 70s,pictures behind the cab featuring old ERFs, atkinsons, and so on,it did look very smart,made a change not to see themes like star wars or rocky or harry potter etc,

Thats more like it, i’d have a picture of an life size Eaton Twin Split gearstick on both doors…Dipper Dave is going to model it apparently, stencilling eh big boy :open_mouth: :sunglasses:

That’s exactly what I meant bud :neutral_face:

That is all.

Wow, a Scania with little lights all over it and an airbrushed picture of an English hating racist Australian dressed up as a jock freedom fighter. What’s not to like?

The cheapest looking tacky accessory on a truck is the neon “badge” light attached to the rear inside of the unit, i.e “DAF” “SCANIA” or whatever the vehicle is. Just screams out “Look at me,I’m a trucker”.

As for paint themed exterior jobs, I was working on Stanions a couple of years ago. The vehicles are film themed, Indianna Jones, Twighlight type ■■■■. If I was the driver of these vehicles, I could see myself getting very irate every time some nerd wanted to talk about the look of the cab. Can just see me turning round and saying " get a ■■■■■■■ i n g like ".

Ours look cool. not to much ,just enough.

Pity the trailer looks so s h i t

But they’re on £6.50 per hour…
Muppets spring to mind

£6.70 is the minimum wage for 21yrs+ currently. I suppose the 25yrs+ drivers are only 2 weeks away from a bumper pay rise to £7.20.
