My dad came home one day in 1978 in an American White. When we saw it we thought it was from the film convoy. Great Times.

😂 'jalapenos' Still Game vibes there Sandy👍👌

Good video Mr one wheel never far from the limelight when there is a camera about

Absolutely cracking form Sandy! Brilliant banter mate, I thoroughly enjoyed this video 🤙🏼

Driving a 2018 Peterbilt 389 15 litre Cummins 18 speed RR pulling set of super B hoppers grossing 63.5 ton l, cruise set at 115km/h going down highway 9 in Alberta heading for Altona Manitoba. Got the comfort of an auld Fergie tractor but looks good for pictures on Instagram

Well bugger me were you pick up the SCANIA from me and Nigel work together in the 80's happy day's any way good video.

I work for Steve Ward when I am home from Offshore I didn’t know he had bought this old girl. I thought I recognised the yard 😂😂

Great video Sandy. I loved seeing the fantastic trucks in it. The Kenworth is something else, and the heavy wrecker was pretty cool too.

Big up to you knowing what a Eaton t,s. Is let alone moving one, most lads your age would be mystified 👍

Box of a thousand neutrals

Hi buddy , two amazing loads there with those two trucks , still not a patch on your original Scania , still the pride of the fleet Stay safe buddy and keep on trucking 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Excellent...ERF with a Gardener engine and a Leyland Marathon with a rolls royce 265 motor my first two trucks then a seddon atkinson with a 290 cummings...All excellent looking back....Great video chap..Have a great weekend ahead

love the kenworth look alike ,, and yes for the time the twin split was the best gearbox going once the truck was rolling you never needed to use the clutch , old now but at the time bloody great

I drove the kenworth that Barry Proctor owns as a show truck.. first time I drove it I didn’t have the gearbox layout so just literally winged it … then couple times after that it was like second nature great experience 😊

I didn’t mind the Eaton twin splitter back in the day , once you had pulled away you didn’t need the clutch much, 👍🏻 Best manual was the Volvo F1220 I had with 4+4 with a splitter, worse I had was a Davie Broon 6 speed on the Atkinson Borderer 😩 I prefer the auto on my new gen Scania I have now 👍🏻 Yes I know I’m auld 😂

Little mk1 transit camper in the background 👌

Great video sandy

That cab over is so cool. Would love something like that for a DM Finance show truck but a bit OTT for coming out once or twice a year!

that recovery truck is it from dave blockleys leeds

I have driven Kenworth T404 T404S K100E K104B K108 K200, all Cumins ISX OR X15 all with 18 speed manual, apart from the K200 which was a auto. Best trucks ever.

That's so clean that

Sandy twin split 👍 drivers today would not know how they work ! 👍👍

Seen the new truck sandy going through Callander looks braw

Great video tonight sandy watching from my camper van on Isle of mull

Saw you down my neck of the woods today, on the A120 heading towards Colchester. I thought I'd seen that motor before, but realised who it was after you'd passed!!! Looking good, bud!! Safe travels

Used to use the splitter in a 1987 Seddon Atkinson 311 8 wheel tipper. Wasn’t the worst box for sure, better than some other boxes around at that point

Hi sandy great video mate

Love be a wrecker driver on that volvo

DSG gearbox hands down 😂

Sorry, best gearbox ever... Pain in the arse at first, but when you get to know it, hands down, nothing beats it!

That kenworth is the dogs dulles 😂😂

Nearly bought a bike off your Manny a while back 😅 Small world

Great video bud 👍

Sandy 1st company I worked with had an 8 pegger bulker ec11 and an ec11 unit both Eaton twin.. took a bit to get used to a 1st.. but a real driver required 😅

That FH16 is from an exceptional operator stable of Dave Blockley,proper operator with proper kit.

That r1 Is beautiful

I flashed you on the a1 Newcastle near team valley I was in the 8 wheel green tipper your kit is lovely

I have driven kenworth t800's 10,13,15 and 18 speed boxes in them mix of cat and Cummins engines, if you're learning how to shift them and all that goes with that cat engined 10 speed is provably best, nicest was the 18 speed Cummins powered ones though that combination Takes some beating

Great video sadly some how I missed your new truck at Truck fest no idea how tho 😅 She a beautiful looking truck can't beat a old school v8 scania I passed you going passed J47 on the A1 just passed knaresborough I give a couple of beeps. It was a sad day tho due to that Fatal accident on the A1 R.I.P to the driver

7:07 I drive one in south africa we also right hand drive will love to get in touch with u to show u some of our trucks

Hi sandy great video as always

Best gearbox ever, Spicer 1414 3A. Sorts the men out from the boys.

Hi sandy shane here from new Zealand I drive a kenworth k104 with a cumins in and a 18 speed road ranger mine is rhd as they Australian built so come factory rhd

Someone spent a lot of time and looks like they did a good job on the ERF/Kenworth

Yeah mate heaps of US gear here. In my opinion the Euro trucks are just to comfy and smooth for them though. Even The Loggie boys are using them more and more in the bush. I have heard Kenworth are only making the smaller engine in the future too. Even the Asian gear is getting better, with help from its European brothers.

Good video sandy few minted looking trucks 🚚 tbh

In my hometown 🙈

Aye right good video as per sandy but gutted the new motor wasn’t on it chocking tae see it looks a beast

Never had a problem with twin splitters

Drove one truck with that style gear box was a nightmare, but I think it needed adjusted

HAD TWO WHITE RC2'S.....V.UNRELIABLE,!

Glad to see you happier chief. Did you go for the white extended cab?

We still have Eaton boxes over here in New Zealand, they are a bag of shite. We also have plenty of kenworths, also shite

Hi sandy matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 orange Scania you dropped off is a really nice truck and you can do alot to that truck with mods. Anyway sandy matey what are you doing with your truck are you still going to get another Scania or that white Scania you looked at in your last KZfaq video from a few weeks ago if you remember... Anyway great KZfaq video and keep up the great work 👍👍 thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍

Im no truck mechanic Sandy but after seeing that American truck cab on an ERF rolling chassis I wondered at the time why couldn't they of put the Volvo cab on to the rolling Scania chassis? Is it not as easy as an engine swap? Cheers.

I worked for Dalkeith transport and drove a 6 legger that used to have a cattle float body on but they changed it to curtain side with cantilever taillift and yes Eaton twin splitter gearbox bitch of a box lol

No DAF stands for Defective At Factory

Glad to see your truck fixed, what was wrong with it?

That’s Liam franks in grey scania

That K1 Aerodyne looks odd on a Euro chassis. Maybe it's how far back that steer axle is. Don't necessarily have a favorite transmission but I'd say a 13 speed. We don't commonly have mid nor tail lifts here because companies to cheap to order them. Rather waste tires. Same philosophy far as trailers.

Sandy do you have a link to the sun glasses you where love than and want some for Mexico (holiday)

Eaton twin splitter me and my brother both long served drivers he loved the twin splitter I hated it with a passion

What are you doing with your old truck?

Best gearbox ever?

Drove a cabover KW in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 for a company called Dave Cartage moving tower crane sections there was a hole in the floor in the passengers side worst truck ever to drive it was worse than driving a tractor 🚜 luckily it was only about 4 mile each way it was a complete sh1tbox that would have been about 20 years ago I've got the photos of it somewhere

Eaton boxes are shit I had to do my test with one in Australia.

Have you made a decision for new lorry?

Good call there son. Men need to check them bollocks. I did not lost one. over it now. Lads fucking check

Sandy your to young to appreciate a twin splitter. Best box ever. 😅

EATON twin splitter…Hahaha (Like an automatic, before they invented automatics) 😉

When you getting new toy sandy boy

That wrecker looks like an ex David Blockley motor

Twin splitter was a pig to learn and good once you got your head around them but some were better than others 👍

the daf was grant jewits from hull owned by is dad stan who has now passed away very well look after

Spent 16 yrs driving all makes of American trucks in Canada and USAfrom 2007 till 2022.for living space they are great but I never liked them the first and finish is crap on them all.engines and gearbox are so agricultural compared to European trucks.

D A F ...... Dutch Assembled Fu___up

I own a 2015 Scania and have driven next gens while in uk but also work for a US company in middle east as a mechanic maintaining kenworth units and they are fun to drive but build quality and comfort of US trucks are nowhere near as good as a Scania

Them american trucks will never be as good as out trucks

its a kenworth on a scania chassis set up looks crap real ones dont sit that far back or have a massive gap before front wheels even the k100e dont look like that messed up pile of crap the cost he been better off buying a real 1
