Clem's BBQ is ok, but Pittsburgh Barbeque Co. Just West of Route 66 on Route 22 is the best! My favorite is the brisket, no sauce(although the sauce is good). Tim

We'll be there with two or three trucks! Hopefully there will be another great turnout.

Randy, me thinks that a ride in a big ol straight piped Detroit might help take you mind off of what ails ya! Tim

We are on the way! We are just bringing the bus bobtail and staying in a hotel. We will be there hopefully by 9am tomorrow morning. See you guys there!!

Bad news.... Our brand spanking new, 2014, $60,000+ camping trailer has been at the dealer since we brought it back from the first trip we took it on in March. The factory did one of the absolute worst assembly jobs I have ever seen in my life. It has been three whole months now and they still have not finished fixing it. So we have no camping trailer for the trip. Grrrrrrrrr!! Words cannot describe how angry I am at the manufacturer and the dealer.

So we will most likely just come up on Saturday I guess. I have no idea what we will be bringing....

Ben

Sweet!! I would love to do something like that someday! Good luck!

Ben

If it could be, it would be

Ben

Well Farmer, the bus seats 10 passengers quite comfortably(with seatbelts) so we could get plenty of them in there to satisfy us....

And we will be sure to have Chef Tim make a couple well-done-wieners for ya

Ben

HEY GUYS!!

Ben Jumper here (Gasp!)

I just wanted to let you guys know that we are definitely going to the show, arriving either Thursday or Friday. However, we will not be bothering y'all with any noisy two stroke diesel engines of any sort. We will instead be bringing our 2001 Bluebird/GMC RV puller and our big 5th wheel camping trailer and will be staying at the park.

As usual, we will be attending the annual BMT member's gathering at the Watt's Truck Center tent at 12 noon on Saturday. For any of you that haven't gone the said meeting before, it is a really cool thing because you get to put some faces to the usernames on here and check out all the cool Mack stuff that my homies at Watt's have for sale.

**Newly Added** Weather and finance permitting, Jumper and Son will be hosting lunch at our camper at 1pm on Saturday. We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, and whatever else we can scrounge together so if any of you guys would like join us, you are welcome to come over and eat and hang out for a while

Also, every year, our buddy Denny (DCR) has hosted a gathering for desert and coffee at his big motorhome. I have not confirmed whether or not he is doing that again this year but I imagine that he is. But this will definitely be confirmed at noon on Saturday.

So if you're up to it, come join us for an epic 3 hour eating/B.S.ing session!! :banana:

Just keep an eye out for this beauty, that's what we'll be pimpin

Congrats to the whole Yardo crew! We will look forward to seeing the gang at Macungie. Good luck on your NEXT conception! Tim.

Al, 454! 4-53 would've been a really good choice though.

I love Run to the Sun in Myrtle Beach! Around St. Patrick's Day every year. Awesome cruise on Ocean Avenue as well. We took my 41 Cadillac Rat Rod last year and will probably take it again this year too. Tim

Yes, the Roadway U700s were Detroit powered. I really want one.

Ben

Again, not what I'm into. Y'all can have those kinda girls.

Ben

Haha yea my buddy worked for the asphalt company and he went and picked it up for $2500, used it for 6 years then sold it for $2500. The starting bid of $4500 is a little high but I think that's probably because it's so rare. But yea, it does run good and from what I understand, that big V8 with a single straight stack is really loud

Ben

I've seen that second video before. It's just stupid. She doesn't know what she's talking about or what she's doing. And her chest is all she has going for her. That's it. The other girl actually appears to have a clue what's going on. Personally I couldn't give two craps about boobs. Big boobs are just stupid in my opinion. I would rather have a flat chested girl that is actually smart and nice and has a clue as to what's going on.

One of the coolest and rarest sidewinders I have ever seen, a U795 with a Mack 865 V8 Diesel. And what's even cooler is that a good friend actually drove this truck in the 90's and even used it to haul the equipment to our house when we got our driveway done. It was also originally owned by a local Mack enthusiast by the name of Eidemiller (he has a really nice green B model and a nice green R600 tractor) so this ole U has a lot of cool local history for us. So enjoy!

Yes Vinny, you are cool. But you're still not an attractive blonde girl. That "no one is allowed to touch it" thought is all well and good but think of how cool your youtube channel would be if you had a video of the hottest girl in your school going up through those 5 gears.

Ben

Bigmacktrucks.com. The only website where you can see a picture of an attractive girl in a bikini and a triple stick B model on the same page

Ben

Now we know who the official stocker of BMT is. Who else would take the time to go find a bikini photo of a girl from the double clutching video? Otherdog is a genius.

Ben

Wait a minute, wait a minute, WAIT JUST A MINUTE. I have the solution: Pull that worn out 4 stroke outta there. Go buy yourself a brand spankin new, government surplus, 550 HP 8V92TA for $3500 and drop it in there and you'll be good to go

Ben

Okay seriously? How does a trailer for sale turn in to a huge argument. If the guy wants you to call for a price, either you do or don't. It's the seller's choice. Sure, it will take longer to sell with no price but that's the seller's choice. Personally I prefer when the seller puts a price on it because usually No Price = It's Too Much. But there's no need to start a huge argument over it, jeeze. I personally cannot afford it at all right now but I was curious about what they go for, that's why I looked. Giving a guy a hard time about whether or not he put a price on his ad or whether or not his price is fair is not really helping anything.

As a buyer, I would say put a starting price on the ad and you should always most certainly put your location. But as a seller, I know that there are certain reasons why it is sometimes better to not put a price on stuff.

But seriously, this isn't worth a huge fight.

Ben

Aw shoot...now it's time to put'm in the B model and see how they handle a couple sticks? LOL!!

My g/f has started my B, but that is as far as she will go with it. She can't drive stick, I've tried a couple times in my pickup. She just won't get on the gas and GO!! She stops everytime she pushes in the clutch to shift into 2nd. She doesn't have a clue as to what I'm doing with my three sticks......

I have always wondered how you fit that extra one into that cab? Like our B models are a little crowded with two let alone three haha.

Ben

Yep, give her a 5 spd Maxitorque and see how she does

I'll put her in the wrecker with the Triplex. See what her reaction to that is

Ben

Well yea with a synchronized tranny it is really easy but if she grasps the concept as well as she does, I'm quite sure with a little practice she would do really well in a big truck. One problem is, a big old Thermodyne is not gonna rev up nearly as her little Audi does. But I am still impressed.
