haha, yuh but you probably get shaken to bits, suffer from fatigue and tiredness alot more than "non american truck brnad drivers" , have a c**t of a time getting parts, return poor fuel economy, al the while driving a unit that costs far more than anything else, getting the same rates, and comparing your 600hp yank to a 300hp jappa doing the same work :P

Yep, Dead giveaway aye?

Scania's are the most comfortable truck I have driven in. And they have enough power to get the job done.

Anyway.... Truck got munted...

actually my truck was fairly cheap :lol: and parts are easy

and no, i dont have 600hp, its closer to 700 at the moment :wink:

its a 1989 international sline, it rattles, it bounces, but its a whole lotta fun. and economy isnt great, but the distances arent huge either.

(its like having a weekend car with hard coilovers, and big turbo, its a pig, but you love it)

runs a mechanically injected n14 fyi (not an 855)
