Great picture Buzzer, Thanks for sharing.
I always thought the Scania V8 was a sixties thing but obviously they were in to them way back then.

Well secured but it does make me wince seeing those straps without sleeves over the shap edges. 
Dennis had a message from Wrighty and he said that the cops are looking for a shady mush with a chain saw and your name came up, if I were you get rid of the old Danarm you got in the garden shed else they will be marching you off to the cells

After writing 6 lines of print on my trip to Scania Sweden this web sight shut the lot off and I aint doing it again, just pics Buzzer
That’s a shame Buzzer i bet it would have been an interesting read. I have been driving a 71 plate Scania for a few months now and its ok but i think the quality isn’t what it was. I came off a 13 year old Daf XF manual which was made obsolete by Bradford Council in the name of clean air. It is now used as a spare from Leeds and some of our new recruits have between them smashed the clutch to bits (i’ve seen the photos) within 2 miles of driving it and another driver doing the synchros in on 5th gear basically because they didn’t want or couldn’t drive it. The Scania is quite comfortable but i can’t get the seat high enough and the switches on the dash keep dropping off. I think they are in the same group as MAN and that could be the reason for the drop in quality.

A sizeable fleet in its day from what I can remember (F H LEE?). I think one of their contracts was delivering toilet rolls although why I remember that fact is beyond me. Could be a lot of crap though
