Dafs on heavy haulage

chorcheela:
It’s a nice motor no doubt, but what strikes me is the size of the tanks!!!

Used to see them regularly going over to Belgium on a Friday or Saturday to fill up with cheap Belgian diesel.
Then you’d see exactly the same truck on a Monday afternoon going back for more!

Either their mpg is drastically low or perhaps there’s another reason.

That was a sarcastic comment before some bright spark says “Perhaps they’re pumping it out into a storage tank”

Derrr :confused:

Are these lot still around? I haven’t seen one in ages, (except for the Scania Longline) and I heard that the company is now owned by somebody else and has recently moved to a site in the docks in Ipswich??

not sure, i did hear the ministry have impounded several (suprise suprise), the longlines i only know of belong to john hogan(?) so not sure how long they will be about…

blimeys, thats a good one! the picture was taken by my dad when he went to scotland with work, im guessing it was taken certainly 8 years ago, maybe a bit more even. i will ask hime when i see him, just to see if he has any idea
