To the driver of the Scania 630 on cat and fiddle, today

[englisharcher]

Yes you with the purple Scania with 630 written all over it.

Sir I have never seen a truck driven like that before, you were hitting every apex, keeping up momentum, and a few times I thought you had overcooked it, your truck just gripped and cornered beautifully.

I also assume you had an empty trailer, accelerating uphill at one point I struggled to keep up with you.

You should be on a track, that was some of the best driving I have ever seen, I wish I had a dash cam in my car so I could have shared the moment.

With driving like that I assume you are a member on here.

If it was an R620 then it's a 15.6 litre 620bhp V8. 2200lb-ft of torque. He could well have been loaded...

Not enough? There's a 16.4 litre at 730hp, 2600lb-ft. Lovely noise too.

Don't forget the Volvo FH16 750

But if it aint a V8 it aint great

The best bit of course is that driving an artic as fast as it will go up the Cat and Fiddle probably won't trigger the average speed cameras.

Shame the OP didn't get a video, this sounds pretty damn cool.

Certain roads are quite enjoyable to drive, even when you're driving an elephant.

Love taking my artic over the cat and fiddle, specially getting a powerslide around the corners. Can scare quite a few car drivers though.Actually enjoy the cat more in my truck than on the bike.

I wouldnt of thought is was possible to get an artic ocross there with some of the tight twisties!

Driving God!
