M A N or VOLVO

Pimpdaddy:
I loved the MAN ‘comfort shift’, last one I drove was an ERF 56reg…

I never knew they had them in ERF, don’t know how old it is, but it was the best gear box I ever drove. When I got it I had never seen it before, I never liked the man before, but after a few days driving this I was hooked, it was a dream to drive. Happy days.

ERF Ect & MAN Tga where identical in many aspects, I think they were the last lot to be made (56reg) then the ERF was no more…

Don’t care what sort of driving it would be, the Volvo would be my choice even if I was out tramping all week. You only have to spend about 5-10 mins moving around in the cab to get sorted for bed or whatever, but you have to drive the thing for up to 10 hours per day and that takes precedence for me.

Exactly. I’ve never understood this obsession with space.

Your right there, it’s all about the seat and comfort of changing gears and the ride, not about the height of the cab or look at me I’m in a big looking truck, when you sleep do you dream I’m sleeping in a nice big truck, or I cant cook my noodles because I don’t have enough room.
