Deere-est Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The one next to it may well be MJB's mate I think. He drives an XF S/S/Cab for M.Way anyway. The new XF105 is a bit of an eyecatcher with those lights in the top corners, bet you got lost in the cab too mate. They are huuuuuuuge arn't they?!!!!

Deere-est Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Waste removal of any type carries a hefty price tag coz it is crucial to have it done with the red tape and laws around the enviromental issues. Also, CCTV drain survey's aswell - has to be done for any development of any size before the water boards will except them into their systems so again - lot's of money involved!!

I havn't made my mind up, it's a big old panel to leave totally blank but I am not sure if those lights are what is needed to add some pizzaz to it. Pizzaz, do people still say that?!!

PDC Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 There'll be no 'pizzaz' on my new Scania when it comes on July the 1st :o Nearest i'll get to 'pizzaz' is pizza on the seats and carpet ;D ;D On a serious note though whats the idea of the big girder under your bumper if you opt for a steel bumper on a scania now ???

Deere-est Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 VOSA/ D of E speculate it as the gap between the bumper and the ground is too much. Poses a danger for pedestrians and other road users apparantly. If you gonna get hit by a truck, your gonna know about it either way pretty quickly whether you end up underneath it or not in my opinion!!!

Deere-est Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Pics are a must of course - you should do some as soon as it arrives and then a few as it gets the little bits and pieces added. I may be on for a trip to Scotland to pick up a Deere 955 combine for a mate in a week or two. Depends whther it will earn more than four days crane work though.
