Because diesel V8s are brutal

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

T143 500. Older wagon now and not the most powerful anymore. But none of the emissions stuffthey have now so you can pretty much run straight pipes.

When i came back up to Frejus tunnel last year i only had 4 dinky tractors on and a fully freighted belgian passed me flat out. I had to wind the passenger window down for the full effect.

I have been undecided for a long time stacks or side pipes. I just like the noise.

http://youtu.be/MUoSyEzkuXw - John Dickinson. The big Merc driven by big Stav. Dragging 100t out of a windfarm nr. Oban in the highlands.

I mocked him when i first watched it but i did find it quite impressive in parts.

Its a long video, but worth watching in parts.

Yup, thats who i work for. All the wagons are minimum 65t. Most are now 80t. 2 are 120t and 2 at 150t. If we had a "flagship" motor that would be it. 150t double drive V8 Merc.

He's dragging one of Sarens cranes trailers off the windfarm back to Teesside.

Thought it was. 150Tonney is pretty impressive to me honest!, Where my unit is its on a lorry yard and you see all the lorrys all mercs n scanias but there nothing impressive as they only deliver plants to the garden centres with the chilled trailers! BORING!!!! :roll:
