Nice build Albert, looks good!
Don't know why the Scania is Europe's favorite truck. I do admit, the sound of that V8 is one of the best, especially if the driver has added a 'zero-restriction' exhaust. And it's also great to hear it go through the gears.

Didn't see that L-badge... For the members not from yurp, that means this truck complies to noise-restrictve regulations in Austria and Switzerland, if I'm not mistaken (help me out here, fellow-lowlanders ). |

That's right Joris, it's a Austrian regulation. The L-badge stands for "Lärmschutz" which means that the truck has a low noise level.
Drivers whit a L-badge are authorized to drive in Austria between 22:00 pm and 05:00 am.

Thanks for clearing that up Albert! I figured the L was short for a German word.

Here in the north eastern USA, the ONLY noise restriction we have are down hill in certain small towns the jake or engine brake is prohibited. In general we can have zero-restrictions on any vehicle, cab, truck, motorcycle, bus. Big bore straight pipes are becoming more popular than ever. We also see plenty of drivers running all the time with the engine brake switch in the on position, so you hear a more pronounced "Bark" between up shifts. Ap40 |

That's real cool Richard! Loud pipes save lifes'right? The Scania V8 sounds real cool. In between shifting, you can sometimes hear this real cool howl at times. Check out this clip; in the footage of the straigt truck in the village street you can hear what I mean. Scania V8 soundsWhat I like is where first daylight part where the truck overtakes the red coach. You can almost hear the four-wheelers thinking: "Naw, I can't do that in my tiny little car...' ;D |

Albert,
Very nice build you have there! The colors work well together. And it looks like you put a bit of effort into some interior detail.
I agree in some instances loud pipes do save lives, But don't ride into Daytona beach with em to loud, They love writing bikers tickets for all kinds of violations.
AS for the Jake brakes, Rick is right there are some fools that ride around with them on. It may sound cool but I can't imagine where it would be good for the engine or fuel mileage??
Be Well
Gator
