JB:
blimey… its the renault recruitment army :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Not so much an army JB, more like a small commitee… :laughing: :laughing:

Shortfalls?
Erm…they’re Scanias, and,…oh yes,

they’re Scanias

I can’t claim this one to be my own it actually originated from an un-named director of this site.

…and it was said to a 7’ giant who had just spent all weekend polishing his extended T cabbed pride and joy

I don’t care how much you polish it, it will never be a Volvo

Wheel Nut:
We have been threatened with them, I would sooner keep my Renault :stuck_out_tongue:

I am working on the bloke who buys trucks to try MAN or give me a DAF

At the moment we have Renault, Volvo and Scania with some Dafs on the French contracts and tanks

Malc, take a tip from DAFMAD, don’t ask for MAN’s or ERF’s. :unamused: You’ll be going downhill not uphill, if you see what I mean. :wink:
Go for DAF’s or Volvo’s. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: You won’t be sorry. :wink:

There is nothing wrong with MAN, I have mostly driven them for the last 12 years. I like my DAF because they havent altered them for a long time, the engines are still based on a DKS

Volvos are ok if they dont get FM. that is why I suggested MAN

Anything as long as they arnt Scania :stuck_out_tongue:

25

There is nothing wrong with MAN

Umm, :open_mouth: :confused: I beg to differ there Mate, worse than Renaults IMHO.

DAF, DAF, DAF. :smiley: CF 85 Space Cab is a fine choice if they want to save a few pennies.

Steve! Your signature spoils your argument!!!

It mentions ACTROS :confused:

Yeah, the Actros is as low as I want to go, but that is way ahead of MAN and Scania. We’ll have to agree to differ then. :wink:

BTW, Scania lost the plot when they stopped making the 3-series, IMHO

Just had the pleasure of driving an 04 plate Merc Actros with the EPS box and was pleasently suprised (or I was when I found the button to get it out of nuetral and the middle of the road in front of the yard :unamused: ). with 22 tonnes, it is a very nice motor to drive. Well, I liked it anyway :wink: .

Yeah they’re lovely until you show them an uphill climb then they curl up and die.

I like the Mega-space but it’s not a wagon for back roads - too tall for my (sometimes) enthusiastic driving and sways about too much. Nice on runs though although the V8 480 lump I had couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Cheers.

Had an Actros with EPS, fine accellerating, just trying to keep the engine braking under control was a nightmare. Scania can’t design a cab to save their business, it’s only the fact the rest of the truck is so good that saves them.

I vote: Volvo over everything, Then Foden, then Daf 3rd. Keep those MAN’s and new “ERF’s” and Renaults, and burn the lot of them please.

Then Foden

LMFAO :laughing: :laughing: You might as well have an ERF,as they share a similar drivetrain. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Fodens, hmmmmm, stall every five munites if I remember rightly :laughing:
