Ahh! I recall now!
I used to have one (hence the name!)
Alas, the Merc Axor that replaced it, was'nt too good - the 430bhp engine could'nt pull the skin from a rice pudding.
That, combined with the "straight 8" 'box was enough to make me leave!
I'm currently in either a DAF 95 XF480 , MAN TGA 430 - which I like very much - or, a Volvo FH 12 460
.Changing job again next week - finally back into a Scania, an R500, with a bit of luck.

How the heck did he manage to tip that dinky toy over?
Edit: its in Staines,typical M25 area driving style! typical 7.5 ton driver - not a clue about shifting loads (note the reefer body, not many have load securing straps / bars) probably used to transits and thought they drove in a similar fashion!

Its an old Daimler - hence the radio cassette - once, such an item was cutting edge you know! - BMW's & Mercs did'nt come with any audio at all back in the 80's.....

More to the point how the hell did they get it to topple that side on a roundabout
Lad at work was dropping off quiet a large amount of new windows at a house in Wilmslow yesterday.
He described the house as a mansion. Very very large grounds. Very private. The owners, which he didnt know who they were, were having a new garage built next to the house that would be able to house 8 cars
There were 3 cars at the time outside the house, a Range Rover sport, a brand spanking new Toyota Hilux and this...
As the owners were'nt in, who knows what they could have been driving around in.
They must have some collection of cars or some plans to get a few more cars for having a new 8 car garage built next to the house.
Shortly coming from the house he see's another F430, this time a spider

See this M5 from time to time around town here and today at the local Asda , absolutely amazing colour/car/combo 
I'd never park inbetween 2 cars though, especially a corsa, their owners never watch carefully as they open their damn doors...I learnt this the hard way....
