Heart in mouth job on the Fen roads with thr T/liner. One driver would only drive the flat top Scanni if he was going around there after rolling in the ditch with a T/L. top heavy.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Poxy Topline cab aint going to make a lorry roll into a ditch , nervous nigle driving

must of been a bell end.

I hammer on down some quite hairy roads and a Topline is perfectly fine. Better than fine actually and better than most. It’s not in the slightest bit top heavy.

23

Keep the Volvo.

24

And Scania shares have just plummeted, almost like the bloke did in a Topline. It makes you wonder how we managed with those Ford Transcendentals and Renault 340 Turboliners :stuck_out_tongue:

Volvo for me. Scania haven’t built a decent truck since the 143!

The T/L is a schtonking truck compared to the old junk we used to drive but compared to the XL you have a badly designed cab with masses of wasted space. The T/L was designed by an Italian with Farrari on the brain from the outside & then the inside was an afterthought same as those White Road Commanders ,smooth on the outside -designed by redundant aircraft workers- & hoping the furniture would fit on the inside ( it didn’t)

Its the same as what they did to Newcastle Brown Ale…sort of.

How you managed in what way? You seem to be dropping old trucks into every topic at the moment, to the point your just randomly dropping them in for no reason, is everything ok? :wink:

Scanias are overated and have not got the storage space of a volvo. Scanias are ok if you dont do nights out or dont take much with you. I would stick with the volvo they are much nicer :wink:

I’ve been living full time in a Scania for 4 and a half years and I dispute the no space opinion! I couldn’t even get all the stuff I’ve got in a Volvo! A Scania space wise is no match for a Super Space Cab or big MAN but more than a match for a Volvo with its silly sloping screen

Agreed. Scania’s are for glory boys and ‘yes’ men that wouldn’t know a good truck if it slapped them round their chops.

But it didn’t roll. ←

I can’t get comfy in the seat or the bunk of the Scania, so it’d have to be the Volvo for me everytime too.

Also, the windscreen is so far away on a Scumia, if you use a sat nav and stick it on the window, you can’t reach the bloody thing - I also use my as my handsfree and nobody can hear me due to it being so far away and the noise of the damned truck.

It’s that bad, I prefer my Daf CF over a Scumia, and that’s some statement :sunglasses:

I knew that would get a rise out of you! :wink:

38

Well I wouldn’t want to disappoint you, after all I’m one of these ‘yes’ men your obsessed with.

39

I drive a high liner at the moment and would swap for an fh in a heart beat. I don’t like the scania bunk, mirrors or stupid 3 over 3 gearbox.

Looking on the photos part of this forum the intrest in Scania lorries is massive compared to other makes in terms of view count. Scania beautys 26500 views, Volvo beautys 4000.
