A good comparison, both killing machines in the wrong hands.
Feel the need to but in here, to be serious for a minute.
I know you’re only joking mate, but tbf (and respectful ) the Polish squadrons had some of the finest fighter pilots on our side, so in the right hands maybe eh?
AND a lot of the poor sods were put in camps by the Russians when they returned to Poland.
Yeh…I know, …I’m sounding like Carryfast again.
As for the new Scania, they don’t look as good as the older Topliners, but I would still have a one tomorrow instead of my Merc.

Not sure what our S730 is doing Col, but you can get 9.5 reasonably easy out of our V8 520’s if driven sensibly so your guy may be speaking the truth

Were you on the M6 southbound around Junction 13 about 3pm today? There was a lane closure due a broken down lorry and saw one of Mark Thompsons behind me scudding up the inside . Remembered you worked for them and wondered if it was you

They’re…
Brand new motors. The engines will be tighter than a bent politicians bank acount. Give 'em a few months and the fuel figures will improve.

Not me flying mutt. I was on the Northbound side though coincidently around Stafford at that time on my way back up Warrington from Enfield.
Sure you were going the right way mate? I did see some of our peasants on the other side though driving Actros’
Well I’ve ended up in Heathrow so I suppose so . 8 hours later from the boat over. So much for the tang expressway. There’s nothing express about it! The slowest most boring 2 and a quarter hours ever.
This one had curtains pulled over peekaboo stylee, but I wasn’t going to add that until knew it wasnt you incase you were a closet peekaboo person . It might have been a Hitler’s revenge actually now you mention.
Other lorry observation on my journey saw an XPO tanker do the lane self policeman thing behind me for about fifteen mins and he got all puffy chested through his window when some cars squeezed down the side .

" Hitler’s revenge "
With the powerliner 2, fitters used to say you needed Himmlers password to get the eps gearbox to work
They have put the stereo/radio further away from you and it is not a good unit, so this detracts from the driving/environment.
They have somehow made an unladen vehicle, feel as though it is laden this is just weird.
The rest of it is just not an improvement, I drove the old model on a 66 plate and the new one back to back…The nannying is obtrusive on both, they are vehicles designed for idiots, those who just want to steer the wheel…They have no place in a place where drivers actually drive, they are in insult.
Seems they can update the cabs just a shame they cant make a decent pressure release valve spring in their crap oil pumps.Mind you only about 500 quid a pop every 200,000 clicks.
