Good morning to you all thanks for joining me early this Sunday morning. Tell me which would you prefer the manual gearbox or the Opticruise gearbox in a SCANIA ?
Hello Stavros , nice video as usual .....driving v8 with manual and now auto and sure that I won' t like to go back in manual .....opticruise is too cool when queuing !
I personally think that the previous generation was far better looking and sounding, I do like the new ones but much prefer these ones. And the opticruise with the clutch is the best, a clutch comes in handy for maneuvering and reversing into trailers
My favorite engine from Scania is the Euro 5 R560. I would prefer this with manual. It's a V8, what else can I do? I have to buy the V8 with manual transmission. For me that's tradition.
@@emanuelmselle637 Its going well hey, we just have the same issues as years past, but hopefully Ramaphosa can resolve some of the more prevelant issues.
Brilliant cobber, love your truck road tests. Can't mistake the sound of that V8, one of the best sounds along with the Mack EM9-500. They're a vast improvement over the 143 series I've driven. Always been a manual man, but last 2 trucks I drove (K100 & Freightliner Argosy ) were auto shifts and they were excellent. 👍👍
If you drive a lot in city traffic with a lot of traffic jams it's nice with an automatic. Otherwise I prefer a manual. The old style opticruise with a optional clutch pedal is a pretty nice compromice. Since I'm Swedish I like Scania V8s but I have to say that the best sounding engine I know is a Caterpillar 3406 straight six.
Why would you get the extra a/c pod if the truck already has a/c from factory? Are they not able to cope or is it for when the truck isn't running and it's used at night?
I was been thinking about that scania with side view camera. Instead of placing it at the pillar, they could have placed it on the dashboard or near the sunshade visor. It would be easier to see clearly.
I would prefer a manual. In every Truck. You have to switch and couple a V8. A tradition for me. He feels better and it's a lot of fun. I used Google Translater and I'm German.
The irish have always had the best units. I was a truck driver for 40 years. The power of mine was no whare near as.big as this. Xf daf was my last truck.
She is one fine example of an iconic truck!! Would love to have her but my teenagers rule me out...… cheers for the add on FB btw lad...that was me giving ya the beep beep outside Glounthane!! WHERE'S DONALD lad????? LOl!
8.6 mpg from a 16 litre V8 diesel is "not too bad"? Jeez, when are Scania going to start selling trucks in Canada? We've only got the 15 litre Cummins over here for running 63.5 tonne gross and those get barely over 5 mpg.
The old generation V8 sound from the streamline and R Series is a lot better then the new S and R Series Scania. Comment if you loved the old V8 Sound Scania then the newer models
Good morning to you all thanks for joining me early this Sunday morning. Tell me which would you prefer the manual gearbox or the Opticruise gearbox in a SCANIA ?
Manual gearbox 👍👍👍
Manual for the sounds, a good experienced driver knows how to make them v8’s sing
Manual all day lad!!!!
No question about it, manual gearbox always 👍🏻👍🏻
Rather have the opticruise on the newer models but like Scania 4 had a great manual gearbox
I wonder if AOC would get more money if they put on the description 'as driven by Stavros'. Great video.
Hello Stavros , nice video as usual .....driving v8 with manual and now auto and sure that I won' t like to go back in manual .....opticruise is too cool when queuing !
8:40, I use this model at work, and I didn't know that, thanks for commenting on the video.

Hi Stavros, wondering if you could try reviewing an old volvo?
Why would you get the extra a/c pod if the truck already has a/c from factory? Are they not able to cope or is it for when the truck isn't running and it's used at night?
Its used while the trucks engine is off. If you have to sleep on a hot day or even hot night.
I was been thinking about that scania with side view camera. Instead of placing it at the pillar, they could have placed it on the dashboard or near the sunshade visor. It would be easier to see clearly.
would love to hear your thoughts on an erf olympic ec14
Top motor with Eaton twin splitter
Great video, amazingly clean and tidy truck, hope your getting a commission 😎

This may sound stupid but I drive a 7.5 ton truck, any chance you could test drive those as I'm looking to buy one

Hi Stavros.what make of cameras do you use.great videos by the way.
Cud u go to ae86 in mondello on Saturday please
Nice V8, great video. Anything from Dualla 2019 coming up?👍
All that HP on a single drive Axle .... how hot do the tyres get under a big load?
The same temperature as with a less powerful motor if legal weight limitations followed.
