hiya,
Only one motor that I would love to have had stolen was a Scania 80 in fact
if I thought anybody would have been daft enough to steal that heap of crap
I would have left the keys in the thing and my fuel card on the shelf to make
sure they would get the heap far enough away, feathers ruffled ■■.
thanks harry, long retired.

hiya,
Scania’s yes loved em’ , but only upwards from the 110 a true 32 tonner the 80 only being
rated at 26 tons at their place of origin and I agree they would have made a cracking six
wheeled rigid had they been more reliable, ( mine developed three problems on it’s
maiden voyage) the main fuel pipe burst, an imploded fuel tank (blocked vent) and
problems with the cab jack device when attempting to tip the shed over to effect repairs
which I did myself you had to have a bit of mechanical know how to keep that heap going,
on a later trip a snapped halfshaft found to be metal fatigue it was a clean break so got
the thing home on the difflock now how many drivers would have thought of that in those
days got praised from the guvnor and the fleet engineer.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi all, regarding the truck theft there is a site called truck watch which is run by rha and all police counties they put on all info on the truck and when it was stolen it goes on a database which can be viewed by anyone they have prosecuted a lot of people for haulage thefts even get diesel theft reports it’s worth checking out
