HGVs are saloons and therefore one of the most highly respected vechiles that one can drive.

With their commanding driving position and imposing gait, what more could you ask for from a motor than visibility and presence.

These vechiles have 12 litre turbo charged engines and are sure to pack a punch. Best of all these motors are wide and have a low centre of gravity, making them ideal for late night street racing, gaining the respect of both your peers and females.

Would be utterly smoked by a torquey 12 litre td

Exactly

Have you done your B+E test JC? I keep thinking about doing mine but my trailer doesn't meet the requirements for the test, and my car won't tow one that will. The cost of renting trailer & vehicle, test, time to get used to the setup etc. got me thinking about whether to do C1+E or C+E instead. I spent a few months hauling 35ft trailers with a 15ft tractor so I was pretty confident with handling a trailer on the roads, though the visibility/seating position's obviously a bit different in a truck!
