I got some spare rope, but dont think it would go round your big head.

The garge i work at has a 1998 ec11 with no limiter. Goes well love shunting trailers around our yard with it, especally as im not old enough to drive (16)

[foden4405]

Good fun, but also the best way to learn.

She should be restored

[foden4405]

You won't get an argument from me.

todays truckers are fucking pussys with there sat navs and automatic gear boxes and easy curtainsiders and they think there the bollocks the wankers

[brossen99]

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.

Whats with cummins and easy start? All the high milers i see need it on a cold start! I like the 14 L though it's a proper motor. I have a RR 265L in my B series, she runs a treat just waiting for the injector sleevs to leak. ha ha

@tonyhgv Before I left for oz in 1970 the new Volvo F88 they called a "juggernaught", Scania-Vabis had just come out, and all the trucks were British, ERF, Scammel, Leyland, Foden etc etc. No sleepers, long distance guys slept overnight in a bed at boarding houses for truck drivers. P.S. My wheels at the time were Triumph T100A, Norton 650SS and 650 Triton in that order.

[gm16v149]

The 14 L Cummins has a pretty good name where I live, the new Cummins Signatures and ISX don't have such a good reputation, they were a disaster when they first came out. The Cummins 903 V8 had a good name as well but they were noisy.

[gm16v149]

@tonyhgv I remember those V8 Cummins when I lived in Poplar E. London in the '60s and you're right they made a helluva racket. They were the first V8 I ever heard and I reckon they put me on the path to truckerhood lol.

[tonyhgv]

all you drivers who like this pile of crap must like driving morris marinas/allegros and that type of crap,personally i have been an hgv driver for over 40years and would not want to even get in let alone drive a pile of crap of that era

[TheSlapdown]

@tonyhgv LOL, okay. Doesn't mean it's a pile of crap though. I suppose if this old war horse goes back to fight it'll be destroyed by a nuclear submarine nowadays! Of course, that's if the submariners haven't all shot each other before hand!

[tonyhgv]

@TheSlapdown ...i was refering to the age of this pile of crap ,not the sea worthyness of it...i suggest you read comments more closely ...you plonker!!

[TheSlapdown]

@tonyhgv U-Boats worked out at sea, hence the word BOAT...You really are a numpty!
