Rumour has it there is a big announcement coming from Scania tomorrow about the V8 engines. Could there be an increase in power on the way??? Who knows all will be on the Scania website tomorrow I’m sure, I’ll keep an eye and let you know.

Do you love your truck pictures? are you like me and just like to flick through endless photos of wagons?? If so you wont go far wrong if you log onto www.euro-wheels.com there are 1000’s of pictures from the last 30 years. All taken by truck perv and top man Neil Jarrold. This Greek 620 is just the smallest snippet of his quality pictures, click the web address to go to the site.
Week 6 was a snowy week for most of Europe, most people i heard from where suffering with the white stuff some where in Europe. W200 HCW was sat on the Motorway down near Heilbron, Germany for most of a day enroute to Plzen, Czech. While X400 HCW was in Gothenburg, Sweden with the Army Truck Load. As you would expect in Scandinavia there was lots of snow but no problems!
Thanks to some detective work and the help of the lads at www.evanscommercials.com i have tracked down S777 RDF to South Africa. The truck is hoping for a new life in the south but is still for sale for about £20,000. Go on some one buy it and bring it back home! http://www.iatruckexports.co.za/htm/specsheet.asp?id=530
Who knows what happened to this old thing? Apparently it was sold to a dealer last year last July. Ben Evans Commercials were planning to export it to South Africa last October. Can anyone confirm if this happenend or if it was spared and is still in the country? Why is it all the old trucks with a bit of history or character get exported?? Their should be a rest yard for all well known old trucks to retire to with a nice warm shed and lots of thick oil to top up with! This truck was at one point the only non Volvo on the Davies fleet, new in 1999. Can you shed any light on S777’s where abouts? Email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk thanks to Y111RDF from www.trucknetuk.com for the pictures.
Rumour has it that image concious boss Graham Wilson has penciled a deal with company communications supplier, O2, to re-paint one of the company trucks with a joint O2 and England Rugby livery if England win this years 6 Nations Tourament. So could we see this truck with a new wrap in a few weeks, fingers crossed!!
While checking a route on the Google, I thought i’d just see what the Google Street View was at the Girton Interchange on the A14 at Cambridge. I stumbled across Will Pringles old SC Transport T-cab. Amazing what can be found on the Street View!!
