Certainly is, more often called a Twin Steer when on a tractor unit.

Whilst I love seeing the pictures, it would be a hard days work driving that Guy all over the country.
We had an A series ERF when I was young and I often went with my father, I quite liked riding in it at the time, but when we changed to an F10, what an improvement.

To be fair the B series ERF was a big improvement on the A series, then one day a regular turned up in a new Scania 80, synchro gearbox air assisted clutch, power steering and power to spare, he let me drive it round the block, 4 wheeler with a turntable drawbar trailer on the back. Just as easy and comfortable as a car to drive.

I protested I'd never pulled a trailer like that, he just said forget it's there it'll just follow you .

to be fare neither E R F nor Foden moved with the times they were owners truck rather than drivers trucks they were simple and robust and cheap to repair there were plenty of chaps around Sandbach that knew them inside out and a plentiful supply of second-hand parts also having a glass fiber cab they didn't suffer from the tin worm in old age

Your DAF looks very familiar, an ex Rainthorpe's vehicle?

Yep. It hauled a few sprayers around, so I believe.

It had a few teething problems but it seems to be happy now… and it only cost me a million pounds to fix!

I’d forgotten about the forum, really, until the other day when I was on a 45 and thought I’d have a look.

I’ve just been working, faffing with my boys (now 3 and 5), faffing with my old motors and building a new kitchen. Middle aged dad stuff
