how about this one?!!! i woke up and thought i had woken up in 1998! my first thoughts was that it was a greek (or it was abandoned, but wheni parked up it wasnt there), then from the melee of the cab a coughing yorkshireman got up :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: i bet vosa have not seen this truck for a while! :open_mouth:

oh, it was in italy, not the uk!! :open_mouth:

and i know its not british, but this was one of the shuttle trucks at the gig in rome,a s our trucks were too high to get into the stadium they used half a dozen local trucks and vans to ferry the stuff in and out

still working at 25 yrs old.
been to manchester and then to stafford with the old girl this week. :slight_smile:
i have a few fh12’s(units) as well but you can’t beat this one for simplicity.
the trailer had braking issues.

I’m fairly sure that Scania belongs to ■■■■■■■■ Dennis or Dirty Dennis as he’s known by his mates. You should have seen his 111 that was a real treat :smiley:
He used to sleep under the trailer when it was hot too.
