Well limiter or not the speed limit on a motorway is 60 mph (96.5 kph), allow a small margin for error on the tacho and they really can’t be prosecuted for say 63 mph. I am guessing the limiter is set at 90 kph because that’s what it is supposed to be, however …They can if it’s powered over 56 mph. I presume the OP has enough smarts to realise when he’s on a downhill gradient or not.
I would certainly hope so …

If I was to have a motor that long, I would prefer more living quarters and less nose. Imagine the space you would have.
Absolutely!
When the novelty wears off the extra length would be just be a right pain. Surprised some people can get away with these tcabs pulling 13.6’s.

The Torpedo’s been parked in Penrith a few times without the driver so I reckon he must live/have family there somewhere. Lovely truck, probably the best T-Cab in the country and very close to the best truck full stop!
Maybe Brettnewton1988 should be given it to drive. I don’t imagine he’d struggle with the extra length or anything.

I’d be more than happy for it to find a new driver.

You soon get used to the nose. But I agree why a bull nose and no extra cab space
You do get some extra cab space, in that you’re not sitting on top of the engine.
“The Torpedo”…Makes you wish you were driving it for £7 per hour.

Muckaway, you are by far the greatest poster on here in my opinion.

Driving a truck that looks like ■■■■■ that’s 4 feet over length and the only difference is a your cramped topline now has a flat floor, I’ll gladly leave that to the pros.
If they were so great, why were they discontinued, with no replacement built?
Will someone please read my post correctly?
I said I’d be more than happy for it to find a new driver.
At no point did I say I wanted to drive it.
The prick that currently drives it nearly killed me. And numerous others.
The long nose is for when he has a bump at speed he wont feel it so much and he wont get his legs crushed
Don’t know about the guy in the red Scania, but it seems to be the thing with a lot of these guys with bulled up motors, that 9 times out of 10 they drive like dicks 
Are they ■■■■ drivers before, or is it after they put all that crap on their motors, do they think that a couple of light bars and shiny wheels give them some kind of superiority over us mere standard motor drivers, after they have spent most of their wages on their boss’s motor
Maybe it’s an ego thing and they think they automatically have right of way when approaching you, and at the same time assume everybody else is getting a semi when they come into view (as some appear to be on here already ) and when they stream past you at 60+ barging you out of the way.
I’ve also had the flash to get out of the way when overtaking at the legal limited speed , I just laughed, pointed and shook my head as he got along side me, but apparently I was a merchant banker because I did not show him due respect by giving him his due priority.
As somebody else said the words end and bell spring to mind
And as always with this place, its impossible to have a civil discussion without some prats trying to turn it into a ■■■ for tat argument, same people usually too
Some people see trucks as a toll and treat them as such, some have a bit more appreciation for them. Got a problem with that? Swivel on it…

I don’t know this guy and don’t know if there is exaggeration going on here, he may be a perfectly competent driver and if so I apologise to him in advance,… that is that out of the way.
However if he DID actually nearly kill you, and did nearly put the other guy off the road, you sure as hell won’t be the only two, so maybe he needs sorted.
Why not give the firm a ring and point him towards Trucknet (I don’t usually condone grassing a driver up, but his job will be safe I reckon, if they are related as someone stated)
I’m sure his boss does not want his firm’s reputation blacked by somebody, relative or not, who shows a ■■■■ poor standard of truck driving, and it would only do good if he was brought down to earth a bit.
Who knows it might save somebody’s life in the near future if he is as big a dickwhit as you all say

There are two or three idiots driving V8 Scanias with all the ‘bling’ and fog lights which are stuck on pulling tippers which I’ve had the misfortune to encounter between Oakham and the A1 a couple of times. They are utter, utter ■■■■■ and are seemingly so stupid that they don’t realise that if you cut a corner with your unit, the trailer will cut in a fair bit more. No problem when the road is empty but when there is stuff coming the other way…
I bet the residents of the handful of small villages along there LOVE to hear these pricks hammering through with a V8 and stacks at stupid o’clock in the morning.
The really laughable thing about these blinged-up tossers in general is that they do genuinely believe they are ‘super truckers’ and above the mere mortals on supermarket work and so on.

Axel haulage springs to my mind, had one chop me up in traffic the other day then slam on all in the same breathe, my undercaackers were full that day i tell ya, probably should have reported him not coz im like that but because he ■■■■ near orphaned my 2 kids and all i got off him was a smile as i drove past, if chroming up ya wagon gives ya right to that then ill stick with my trusty jellopy 
exactly its a poxy old Scania quote=“Muckaway”]Why is it “the best T-Cab”?
Forgive me but I’m not getting aroused by an old, obsolete tractor unit with some fairy lights on top.[/q
