Newest MAN artics - is it just me?

Always found MAN’S to be one of the most comfortable trucks I’ve driven.
I can never get comfortable in DAFs though. Always end up with the lower part of my back sore after doing a shift in one of our CFs. Yet most other drivers don’t have any problems in them. What’s comfortable for you might not be comfortable for someone else.
I remember reading something years ago that the designers of vehicles design things round 95 percentile man. So it can explain why.women and the other 5% of men may struggle to get comfortable in a vehicle.

Stop picking on my DAFs you bully[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I guess that was you puttering up the 725 ,yesterday just after 5pm as I was heading home

Yip, that would have been me puttering up in my comfy Actros. Although you could say I was putting up the hill as I actually had a load of golf balls on. [emoji23] [emoji23]

Are you that bad at a round of golf ,you need 44tonnes worth ■■? :smiley:

As you know, where we grew up, golf clubs were used to hit people over the head, not to play golf with. So yes, you could say I’m rubbish at playing a round of golf.[emoji15] [emoji23]

Very good point indeed : :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

For anyone who is interested, did Falkirk again yesterday in the same wagon.

I decided to put the seat on full height on the way back down the M74, and it made a world of difference. So obviously having long legs is bad news.

Bit weird looking down through the windscreen though.

Im 6ft 4 and 20 stone and can drive the Tgx for 10 hrs a day no problem, dont see what the fuss is about tbh, i.ve driven a lot worse

Well said that man ( please excuse the pun ) , the trouble is todays steering attendants dont like a motor if its not got Volvo/Scania on the front , as for anything else ie MAN they will dream / doctor up some feeble complaint and given a bit of time produce lots more making a normally good truck look of no use .
