As a retired volunteer firefighter, I can attest to people always wanting to sit in the driver's seat! Fun video and thanks for posting it!
I think it might actually be biologically impossible for any human to not love a fire truck
@@hvymtal8566 You might be right!
Ireland is so beautiful, I love the rain, the wet roads and the lush greenery and variety of trees.
100K soon guys
Let's goooo, he deserves it!
Beautiful fl6 MK1 these fl6s had a fantastic production life 1986-2003 or there abouts they were the longest surviving model of Volvo that remained practically unchanged
I just had flashback from when i was 10...this truck looks just like the one fro fireman Sam cartoon
I know this has been a really hard year for all of us, including you Stavros969, so I wana say, THANK YOU!!!!! for keep bringing content to the channel. Lets hope 2021 bring at least part of the good old days back. Cheers from Argentina.
Mint cinematic shots round the truck
Great to see the old girl again.
Looks like a great mobile power washing businesses opportunity 🤔
I owned a Yellow Goddess,ex Northern Ireland as used by the army during the fireman's strike. Such a buzz to drive,all be it very slow. Great vid Stavros. Stay safe and keep on trucking!
Wow the new kind of b roll after the intro is amazing!!!!
love the fire trucks but 0-80 is +30s really had me laughing because of the response time...As always Stavros cheers and keep em coming
By the time an FL6 Fire engine reached the scene of a fire it would have gone out it'self.
Nice engine sound
Hello from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
I’m Australia 🇦🇺 too
Hello Stavros, I see your videos getting better every weeks 😁, especially this video, keep the good work.
Some fire station's here in the UK had Saxon bodied FL6's with Allison automatics.
Give me one of these over one of the new volvo FL fire engines any day, we had an R reg emergency one fl6-14 for years and it was a brilliant machine, waaay faster than the new ones
@stavros kindly follow up with the new owner. Let's see what's his plan for it is
I used to do nights out in an FL6. A bit of a squeeze.
They were also the fastest lorry on the road bar the ERF probably
@Stavros969 hi! I'm a BIIIIGG fan of you and literally EVERY time I watch a new vid I leave a like too :D
awe i wish you could have taken it in, but yeah same problem i have, no space
Owner took out original kit i presume
Can you do a bin truck stavros
Great video, sir.. I watch all your videos. The old Volvo and Scannia engines sound very nice. They sound exactly like the Ashok Leyland trucks sold here in India. I wonder if Leyland have any connection with Volvo / Scannia?
Slow !! Imagine when it’s full of gear and 1000 ish litres of water .... I’ve driven them for 20 years the new ones are a massive improvement and auto 👍
Do a test drive in a new Scania or Volvo fire truck.
What truck did you get instead?
lol great vid
Hey Stavros, can you do buses now?
The 6 liter engine down on power easily as it need to rev high to hit the power band.
Normally you need to get into over 1500rpm to get only 585Nm torque and nearly 2300rpm to get 180hp. As you know it's really hurt.
I don't know why such combination is suitable for fire engine. It even not enough for a bus on such weight.
That's the problem with small engines in heavy vehicles. No power and torque. Later FL6 fire engines were better with the 220bhp engine and automatic gearbox as it kept the revs high to keep in it's power band.
Does a fire engine ned to be fast or comfortable? It can'tlegally exceed speed limits and won't be travelling far.
Would probably be nice if firemen weren't beat up already by the time they arrive at the scene. But about the first bit: Where are firetrucks limited by regular speed limits? They're not in the US, they're not in Sweden where I'm from, and they're not in Ireland where I assume this was filmed.
Fire engines in service can exceed any posted speed limit when responding to emergency calls. There are also several other exemptions when responding to emergencies. Urban brigades might have several appliances in close proximity where as rural brigades can regularly have fire engines travelling 15-20 miles for call outs.
It's only done 50.000kms it's not even properly run in.
ahh, i thought that "goodbye" means it's gonna be destroyed.
What the funk is wrong with that engine , but if it hardly can to any accelerating the idea of a other rear end would not be the solution to this problem.
