The yellow Scania in the pic below (courtesy of Neil Jarrold) - I passed it at Brampton Hut on the A14 last week, it has an Oxfordshire registration, and the owners name, M Thomas & Son, is engraved on the chrome on the bumper and bull bar.
I have to say it looks like the kind of thing the Dutch seem to be very keen on - a bit OTT - but when it pulled off from the lights, and those chromed sidepipes roared…
Anybody got any better pics? It was at Peterboro this year. I’ll keep my eyes open for it. Once again begs the question, how do you afford one pulling containers■■?
that yellow one went passed me the other day while i was doing a tyre change at the bp garage in felixstowe…sounds very nice with that chirp from the turbo that v8 scanias do…
Finally got a pic of the yellow Scania. It’s a 144 which is allegedly chipped to 630 bhp, hence the noise it makes. It’s a bit over the top for pulling containers, makes you wonder how people can spend this kind of money!!
