A E Gough & Sons of Llandrindod Wells Radnorshire Scania eight legger,seen on the A40 near Llangadog,Carmarthenshire.
Is that 440 bhp on an 8-legger Dave? If so thatâs bags of power for 32t gross,bet he doesnât drop a gear.
Yes it is Chris,its an ex C W Griffiths,most of the eight leggers have that or more nowadays.A lot of the six wheelers are 400bhp,with a lot of four wheelers at 310bhp.
Cheers Dave.
And I thought I was doing well with 280 bhp in a Marathon at 32t.400 bhp in a six - legger,puts my 1960s Reiver and 1968 Marshal to shame.
hiya,
Knocks them 80 thingyâs into a cocked hat too Chris loads of power make a cracking drag motor whereâs me cap.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Dave
That was me parked in Rhosmaen last week in my MAN. Every week I go to Rhayader with a full load to the 2 garages in town. I have seen every page of this thread waiting to see if I would be seen up in Mid Wales and lo and behold you manage to get a picture just a few miles from our depot in Tycroes, near Ammanford.

I must have been sleeping last Thursday as I had been keeping any eye out for you, I had read EC14âs post that he had seen you on your way down to see your sister in Ammanford and then I go and miss you twice on the same day, maybe I better get new glasses. I will be heading for Rhayader again on Friday, have been doing this garage for the last 4 or 5 years so am getting to know the road now!
