The hills are alive... with the sound of a Merc V6


Next month’s Truck & Driver magazine features this high-spec’ Mercedes-Benz Actros as the lead (Editor’s Choice) story. A big thanks to Simon Wood at the M-B Press Office for sourcing and organising, as well as operator Setco Lipe Clutch. Top people. We’ve got some stunning scenery up here in Northwest England, especially north of Manchester. A case in point is this fab piece of road a fraction this side of Blackburn. On-road stuff like this is never easy an easy business, but I'd like to say a big thanks to the gobby, horn-tooting, one-finger saluting salesmen on their way to make an urgent widget-related conference call. Remember, you’re the pride of the company fellas.
If you're into the 'technicals', it's Phase One P45, 1/45 sec, f11 @ an ISO of 50.
