Mads Justesen is the son of owner Lars Justesen and probably the designated driver of this truck.

Going down the steep hill leading northeast into Aarhus. The motorway ends by Åhavevej in Viby. From here, the trucks can continue straight on to Marselis Boulevard across Skanderborgvej before ending at the port of Aarhus, 6 km from here.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) – here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.

Despite being retired from Scania’s model range in 2005, the bonneted T-models (aja Torpedo) still enjoy an almost cultlike status, and some choose to modify R-Series trucks to T-Series cabs.

This is one such example, originally a R 560 V8, but now converted to the Series 6 T-model that never existed.

The paint job is relatively simple, but the unusual colours still make it stand out in this area as well.

Some time ago I uploaded a photo from a very slightly different angle. But with special trucks like this, I feel it would be a shame to miss out on any tiny details that may not be fully visible from the original angle. Also people have differing preferences when it comes to angles.

Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.
