40 year old products the day they left the factory , things like these including fodens and atkis are the reason we dont make trucks anymore in ENGLAND.There is more following for SCANIA trucks worldwide than there ever will be for this rubbish
@cmscania1971 Whats everyones hard on with Scania ? I,ve had 4 over the years & never rated one of em. Yeah I cut my teeth on ERF back when we had real drivers & not just steering wheel attendants we got now. I gotta FH & that knocks the spots of any scania I,ve ever driven. One thing wrong with it tho is the badge on the front. If it said ERF I,d be happy. I agree this Country needs to sort its shit out & start beliving in itself , WHY THE FUCK cant we make a truck anymore??
very sad! we've still got 2 ERF EC6s, i know theyre not really proper big trucks, but still great old motors. up until last year we had a J reg E8 6 wheeler, but replaced it with a DAF cf 75 its not a patch on the ole ERFs though!
I will not trade my B series for nothing! I have driven all sorts of trucks and some are bad some are good. ERF had a certain something about them plus i was brought up with them. They were in their prime days "the bees knees" Well most drivers thought anyways. Long live the ERF name!
@transitcoffin Well shows you how good of driver you are then a SHIT ONE! my mate mr price jones (M648 MVP) has a 16 year old erf ec14 that goes to work every day and shes been round the clock 3 times shes still going very strong! id like to see a daf do that tbh people who say there shit ONLY SAY IT BECAUSE THEY CANT DRIVE THEM! a very true fact!
@CUMMINSM11 i have driven erf seddon atkinson and am sorry your very much wrong i can drive all hgv this is my opinion i hated them very much sorry if you dont like modern trucke i do today i drive fh12 volvo very nice truck indeed as for erf best thing that happend they have gone so get your facts right dont judge me on what i can drive i driven crash boxes as well so live with other peoples opinion's end of
@transitcoffin says a bloke whos never driven an ERF but listened to the truckstop lawyers in the bar at pop2000.. I would,nt piss on a Scania if it was on fire, damn horrid truck.. why guys get a hard on about them i,ll never know. My FH is just about the nearest thing I driven that even comes close. My ol EC used to piss all over the all flash no cash cowboys on the run to Brum every nite. Used to make me chuckle every lit up , chromed up swede I sailed by .
@transitcoffin Nope you drove a fleet spec shopping trolley not a real ERF. I piloted a tescos 310hp P cab scanny for a while.. now that thing could,nt pull your foreskin back. Same can be said for the Topline V8,s today. Even our worn out MANs piss past them. As I,ve said before the older spec FH is as near as damn it the nearest thing I driven that could give my ol EC14 Olympic a run for its money. DAF is nothin but an accountants motor , built to a cost, an it shows.
@oscarfish38 look call a orange a apple its still am orange at the end of the day your missing my point ERF it said on the cab i drove time and time again not scania not daf not MAN but ERF the is no such a thing as not a propper ERF it does as it says on the box ERF and thats what you get it was as real as i am sending you this msg so you saying not a real ERF is crap
@transitcoffin My sisters car says Mercedes on the bonnet.. but its a shitty A class not an AMG SLK. Sainsburys at Charlton are using MAN and DAF right now.. MAN being the Company which bought out ERF. There are a fair few TGA cabbed ERF knocking about. The point I,m makin is.. WHY THE FUCK dont we make fuck all no more ?? As soon as summat has made in UK on it.. the nay sayers swing into action slaggin it off.. then sit an ruffle thier Daily Mail whinging about the state of the Country.
@oscarfish38 MAN are shit as well all plastic like iveco fall to bits anyway your happy with erf/man good luck to you but if you was to cut me in half it will say SCANIA and allways will do i love SCANIA a far more strong truck on the road o and by the way i oissed all ove ran erf this afternoon just wish you was in my cab to see it and i thought of you at the time :)
Obviously you are a " duff driver " if you can't appreciate just how good the ERF C-series was, out handle any foreign junk on twisty A roads any day, I suspect you were not bright enough to do tricks like changing gear without the clutch and have to put up with your arm hanging off changing a syncro box. ERF's were always the first choice wagons for true craftsment at the art of HGV driving.
Hand on heart my EC14 was the best truck I have ever driven/worked. My boss warned me she was going, but I hung on to her a few yrs longer than he wanted. I came in one Mon to find my gear all in a box in the office an she was gone with a Volvo sitting in her place.... I resigned on the spot. That was 10yrs ago now & I drive a new FH now but still long for that old wagon. They just had that summat about them ERFs.
How sad...I never knew they'd gone. E.R.F will always have a place in my heart. England may as well close down...we seem to lose everything that is/was British.
I created all the advertising for ERF in the last 10 years of its existence including the short lived TV commercial from 2000. Still look for them on the motorway, but you hardly see any now. Thanks for the great video and especially the wonderful choice of music.
God Bless The Plastic Pigs and all who drive 'em.
One day, Back To The Future will arrive in Sandbach, once this country get's it's engineering and manufacturing head back on instead of sleazy bankers.
@3:19 this motor still works on containers, in our yard most days.
