Harry Monk:
It’s the willy-waving “750” vinyl graphics that spoil it for me. Especially as it only does 56mph.
The difference is that this truck will be doing that “56mph” when both your truck & mine will be down to 45mph!!
I’d have one.

Even with 20t of steel and 20t of hanging meat above it.
I would take one any day but don’t think id feel the need to wave my willy.
Spend the money on that and the garage is still like something from the 60s

Well smart. 
Don’t forget this one, the driver of the 730 told me that the 700 Volvo embarrassed the Scania 730 on the big hills coming out of newry and they had the same loads on.
None of them are wound back either and are supposedly giving great mpg figures.

Exactly why you can’t keep fitters

For a start is the brake test pit still under 3 feet of water?
You talking about ballymena or Liverpool?
Ballymena.
Ah right, dont have much dealings with that garage but whenever I did I found all the lads sound and helpful. Ronnie couldn’t do enough for you. Find them all dead on in Liverpool as well.

Top men don’t get me wrong
I wish I had a few more horses on occasion.
Most embarrassing leaving Cork to head back up to Dublin and struggling to get 40km/h up the hill fully loaded… 
Wish I had 750 gee gees so then I could do more than ten mile an hour 
Prehaps this R730 is more to everyone’s taste;

No not really
Don’t get all that fancy paintwork lark…

What’s the rough price of one of these?? Do the manufacturers make money from these high powered models or is it just a power trip to say they have the highest HP unit??
At a guess I would say £125k Maybe more !!
