Thats all they buy unfortunatly straight 8, im in manual mode in mine about 90% of the time.

Yeah, same with me mate, set in hill-climb mode so i get the full rev-range, then paddle up and down the box. There’s a local tipper firm near here that just had 6 of his auto Scania 8 wheelers converted to manual at a cost of 6k each! He said get’em on loose ground and that opticruise box just didnt know what to do. He wont be buying anymore auto’s now. Ive got into difficulty myself a few times just trying to get away on a steep incline in damp conditions, have to be so carefull where you put these lorries now, in places that you would’nt of even thought you would get trouble in a manual motor But Hey! Thats Progress!!

STRAIGHT EIGHT:
It’s alot better looking than some of the [zb] around today. The Scania does’nt look any better, nor different, no matter how much they bugger-about with that front end. Volvo and Renault obviously did’nt include ‘looks’ into their design brief when designing the new FH and T ranges. I recentley changed from a 460 FM to a new Scania, and to be queit honest, i’d have my old EC back tomorrow over both of them. That Olyimpic cab was very underated, and was well designed with more useable space than either the Topline or Globetrotter around at the time. The 530 144 we had in 2002 spent more time in Truckeast than it did on the road, couldnt go a week without something going wrong, the 113 it replaced put it to shame in all departments. King of the road?? Dont make me laugh.

Thanks for that Straight eight, it belongs to Clark’s, I bought it at the retro show last year and sold it to them a couple of months ago. They’ve done a lovely job. I drive an ECX and love it. Don’t listen to the fannys with scannys. Dougie Drake

Hi Dougie, i had a good look round your ECX at the 1st Retro show, very nice mate, especially with that 525 underneath. I was there that year with the EC11 8x4 tanker i was driving at the time (now sold on and still working hard in kent). Who owned the S Clark EC before, i cant place it at retro?
Chris.

Gotta laugh, we’re halfway down the second page and still not a mention of Truckfest. Good job for the ERF barracking, at least we’re keeping it the ratings

Maybe there should be a erf fest

Gonna try and take the ECX to Kelsal Rally on 22nd June. Me and Chris Clark with the red EC that started us all off down this blind ally. There’s a big turnout of ERFs there this year for the 70th anniversary. We’ll call it ERFest

Were is it at

Kelsal

It’s at kelsall !

[erf_man]

We like the Retro show. A few beers with your mates and no Scanny Fannys revving there V8s and blowing there air horns all night. Nice venue too
