Cat345bl: I think your 1969 Kenworth sounds meaner than most. That thing could crack the fillings in your teeth!! Great find. CAW

You'll probably like this one Dolphin. It's one of my favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgQevesiGeY

Thanks for posting. Excellent - KW W900 is already one of my favourite trucks and sounding like this one I like it even more. It's like fine music to my ears.

Some more nice sounds - but you'll have to turn up your computer sound to get perfect justice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWtf2z-CFH4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJ45hh_avcStopping at toll booth loaded with 40 metric tons of export citrus from upcountry - heading for Cape Town harbor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5XlKIX-YFY#t=2.6433333 This is the same one as above only empty - nice trailer - don't you agree ? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8lPMTkvmRchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf73Hyw9rbEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnvorqfkBN0And one for Paul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ1V2naxJqQThere are a lot of unhappy trucking guys over here because Daimler US ceased production of Argosy kits end of 2016 - it is one of the most popular trucks here. Daimler SA imported the kits and assembled it here with some mods for SA conditions. The last new units were sold in January 2017 but the used market will however be busy until they eventually disappear from our roads. Seems that cost is the main factor in this decision. Dolph
