hello from canada! i tell you friend,...im not a man for european trucks...i grew up on kenworths and peterbilts and the like...but that foden of yours really catches my eye! i love how bright all the euro trucks are ...very nice videos keep them up!

[mrspivvy]

The company where I work uses mainly scanias, I loved it when we got ERFs in, nobody else would drive them which meant I could keep the same truck everyday (unusual in my firm) I loved them!

ahh brings back memorys , a real drivers truck , makes me wish i was back driving again , till i remember how bad it was thats the job not the truck , like to see some of these new drivers in one and see how many get out of the yard without crunching the box

16 speed twin splitter?

[twoslices]

How many gears on that tractor? I'm used to 10 on my Freightliner.Not much of a gap between back of sleeper and front of trailer. I'm guessing because of the narrow streets and tight turns in Europe.

[GINGERDAVID90]

it depends on the type of trayiler and unit

[blobby1972]

[aid2003]

[19shelly77]

Nice lookin truck,i drove a demonstrator just like that one years ago shame they dont make em any more foden trucks are proper.

[foden4405]

Thankyou, you are right foden's are the real deal unfortunately all the steerers want scannies.

First proper class 1 truck I ever drove was a Foden on a H reg back in 92!!! It had an Eaton Twin-Splitter and Rolls-Royce (Perkins) engine, i fell in love with it !!!! LOL... Big learning curve for me back then, I was absolutely gutted when it was replaced with a Scania a few years later !!!! LOL

[foden4405]

Proper gearbox, only problem with them was getting proper drivers sadly in short supply nowadays.Don't tell the wife but i love my motor to!

[UKGixer]

Although, to be fair, I briefly drove a Volvo F16 followed by & Scania 168 on European work and they were truly terrific trucks, bundles of power, very easy to drive. Will always have a soft spot for the Foden though !!!

[UKGixer]

R164 V8 !!!!

[Trailerkusken]

Scania 168?? 164 maybe, or 580..? R? There is no 168...
