It seems Ford are making a comeback with the F-Max range, saw one in Leeds yesterday LHD from Poland, it actually looks like the product of a one night stand between a Volvo & a Scania

Interesting
I wonder if they'll re-introduce the Transcontinental name?

Has anyone watched tonights Top Gear’?

In particular, the HGV segments
The Scania R620 that was used, on the track based segment, belongs to John McGuiness, the multiple IOM TT winner, as his bike/equipment carrier (the 'light coffee colour', with 'splurges' of blue & black')
The track being the old RAF Church Fenton

If the programme helps to generate empathy for truck-drivers, from the Bum-W, Audi & 'rep-mobiles', that's all & good!

I’ve seen a couple of Fodens this past week, still out hauling loads:okay::okay:
One 8x4 tipper, & a 6x4 tractor-unit on landfill work, as it was exiting Welbeck tip

The 8x4 was one of Ian Bentleys (they run 2 of them), from Shelley (between Huddersfield & Wakefield)
There's a photo of one, at the bottom of the 'About Us' section; http://ianwbentleybulktransport.co.uk

Sorry no photographs, as on both occasions l was in the car (& ‘solo’)
