    No, the windshield was completely cracked, but still in one piece, just as you might expect with laminated glass.

    These blocks are hollow, by the look of it they will insulate very well. That's what they like very much in Sweden.

    Why? That is English. There is no Texan version I'm afraid.

    The videos do give our NA friends some idea how a modern European cab-over is build. One of them made the remark that he didn't like to lift the cab every morning to check the oil etc. , of course that is not necessary with a EU tractor.

    I wonder if the sleeper of a NA tractor actually will give you very much more space compared with a EU tractor. In a EU tractor you can stand between the seats, and you have storage space over the front window etc. In a NA tractor you can only stand in the sleeper.
