Hi,
Oh yes, lot of lovely torque.
Manual or auto?
Can't beat a bit of trucking *wink*
I've been known to powerslide tractor units around roundabouts....
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Nice one Jon, will that fit in your garage?

I like trucking and I like to truck,
And if you don't like trucking, tough luck!

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

mean machine there, i hold my hands up & admit i've watched the v8 scanias on youtube! hehe cracking sound! well done jon! as ya know i'm half pint sized & a number of years back i sat in the cab of a truck, they are maaaaahhhhhooooosssiiivvvve, its like driving a bay window of a house!

skilled driving & i love the lorry drivers codes if there are police/cameras around etc etc or should i say they let each other know they are driving well! *happy*

cant stand it when nobs in cars try to undertake lorrys round islands, its fun to see the car drivers face of fear as the road dissapears infront of them to be replaced by a big frickin trailer & the car squeezed onto the grass verge hehe!

if the man in the truck cant see you in his mirrors you are not there!

watch out for smokies on your tail!!! *tongue*

10/4 rubber duck, ok come-on!!!!

i gotta long way to go! but a long time to get there, but this old billy truck will get me there!!! da da dada!

get them "truckin" cassete tapes out jon hehe! *tongue*

Hi,
Now a days they're geared lower so that the engine is at peak torque @ 56mph. I'd guess about 65-70.
Jon .. The autos are fantastic to drive.
