Our New Toy - V8 R-730

Chuffing smart. Subtlety wins every time, too much bling spoils these trucks but that red’un looks bang on.

To be honest, that white one looks a pretty sight just as it is too

Are limiters options on your new scanias …

maybe I am missing something, it is just a pimped up scania!

would rather walk than drive that

Couldn’t have put it better myself! 35 years hard graft for that■■?

And so as spring arrives out the morons crawl once more from under their rocks…

Loving this thread, what an awesome bunch of Scania’s in that last photo.

Keep the photos coming, please. :smiley:

Where do we put our names down to buy them when you have finished with them. Can I be first refusal on a tag please?

A lot of people like these trucks. Some buy heaps and try and scrape a living. 2 different camps here.

love the skirts on the new style R series, fair play look well, another nice motor mate,

Id quite happily trundle round Europe all month in any one of them! (To all the haters, im still a relatively young driver therefore im still in the honeymoon phase of my career :slight_smile: )

Looking at the ‘group’ photo, I was going to disagree with you,because the black ones look a lot better.Looking at the photos of the red’un (as you put it) by itself though-I have to say it looks really good.Top fleet-and before anyone suggests it-I am NOT looking for a job. :smiley:

Hahaha, I work hard enough mate… Actually I am banking of him leaving it all to me… (I am sure my 5 brother won’t mind) lol

From your experience White, do the V8 Scanias with 800k to 1m on the clock brake down a lot, or they are still quite reliable?
What is the critical milage for a V8, when you need to rebuild the engine, put new injectors e.c?

It really is a nice van… lol

What a cracking reply to that dig at you. No doubt NorfolkNewbie is off trying to work out what all that amounts to. I think he’ll have enough fingers on his hands to do it :wink:

Interesting question, I would of liked a V8 but nothing much about with less than 800k unless its Irish.

I don’t think they stop that long with WWW, i may be wrong.
