How Much BHP is adequate?

There’s a stupid looking Scania 8w tipper with a 620. It does Truckfest and has country and western artwork on it. Why do you need so much power at 32t? I’d rather drive one of our subbies’ recently refurbished Foden Alpha (Daf 85 cab); T reg with 10l Cat 380. Perfectly adequate thankyou and looks less ginger beer in the old Hanson blue livery than the Scania.

Probably like a lot on here I had a 360 113 in the mid 90’s and it would’ve put today’s 470’s and 480’s to shame and didn’t sound like a singer sewing machine!

If only there was room in them, used to slide over the box in the middle like a snake to get into bed and then take the trousers off! Every time you lifted the bunk you found a fortune of loose change.

Haha i used to sleep on top bunk always wanted one but the four series came out and that was my first truck

Yes I got a 124 400 and thought I was the dogs dangly bits lol.

Snap that was my first truck S2LTC was the reg my dad got it new and i got it when i passed my test!
