Here are some pic's from our local Truckfest show;

This Scania 6 wheel rigid will be used to pull a drawbar trailer on livestock haulage. With the V8 Scania engine pumping out 620 brake horse power it shouldn't have anyproblem on the hills!!

This long nose Scania (rare for UK trucks to have long noses) is used on steel haulage within the UK

Nicely documented, Woodie. I still like the "R" model Mack best. I am no fan of COE's!

A friend commented "I don't see the point in going to a truck show, when you can see all those trucks on the road everyday of the week"

Hopefully he will stand 5 foot in front of them on a motorway and then maybe he will appreciate the advantage of visiting a truck show.. :D
