Personally I've nothing with Scania, and with the number of Scania's Dennis
built I was looking for something else. Being a Volvo owner myself (no T5
I'm afraid) I chose Volvo. I told Dennis about the truck I found, and he
liked my choice so much he's decided to build one himself. He mentioned this
in a posting here which in turn got Jan Tore Skalvik into building one
too.....
If it hadn't been for the research I'd already done I'd pick another truck
now....

Don't agree. I really like the look of the new V70. Forget about the S40/S40
though, they look like Mitsubishi/Toyota/any other Jap.
They just released a new V70 T5 by the way......

True, that sure is a classic. Maybe next time... (although to be honest I
think the next will be a DAF...)

Must admit I've never heard of them. Do Scammells live in Ireland too?

Yep.

So what's your next model going to be?
