Funny that yesterday on local Italian community radio chat the announcers were alluding to that he was doing her at his age 15 in the locker room or similar closed room, they would go missing for a time during classes or recess. Happens all the time, there were recent cases in US. If true, today that would be jail time. Why else would a young boy be soooooo glued to a woman 25 yrs older for soooo many years? With his looks he would pull many chicks. Does not add up to me!

Twin steering boxes, I have never seen or heard this. How common are twin steering boxes?

Joey you and others on here were spot on, from my limited observation I had no doubt that you were correct. Our local newspaper article last weekend, reported on a book titled "ORIGINAL SIN" written by CNN anchor Jake Trapper and Axios political correspondent Alex Thompson. The article says it paints a picture of widespread cover up - rising to scandal, perpetuated by enablers who were as addicted to the trappings of power as the occupier himself. The book sets out how those closest to Biden circled the wagons and imposed measures designed to shield him from forums where things could go wrong. They wrote that at least by 2022 Biden could not recall the name of his staffers he saw every day. The content of the book and certainly the sources who provided the information to Trapper and Thompson would indicate that possibly a major crime may have been committed by all those who have been involved. Also it may be that legally, and possibly it can be proved, on the basis that Biden did not have the mental capacity to perform his constitutional duties, any documents that he signed could be deemed null and void - they are not legal, e.g. the pardons and any other documents he supposedly signed. For a person's Will or Last Testament (or any legal document) proper full legal capacity to instruct, understand and sign the document after it has been prepared, must be proven for the Will to be legally valid. There are countless Wills that have been overturned because of legal incapacity. Those who have orchestrated such false Wills have effectively committed a crime. The same would likely apply to any other legal documents or actions. Also mention of the auto pen, that should give rise to some serious legal issues. Is it possible the process is well underway? Who authorised the $96 billion paid out by the US Energy department in the period after the November election and Trump's swearing into office? It could not have been Biden given his condition. The US people have a right to be properly and fully informed by their elected representatives. The puzzle seems to be forming. Is the best to come? Maybe there are many wet rear ends getting around the streets from what I hear on the grapevine. 🤔🫰😮

If you have space, why not hang onto the gearbox, never know when someone might just call for it. It sounds like it can be repaired, so why waste it.

Matt trucks look so good and a beaut Caddy you own. It looks similar to the Caddy that was in Godfather Part 1.

There is a guy advertising an E9 here in Australia that I think he said was NOS and either boat engine or out of army tank. I do recall that the Israeli army had a bunch of E9's that were sold or to be sold out of their tanks. And I think maybe 700HP motors.

This model Louie with the 3208 Cat was widely used for concrete agitators and rigid tipper/dump trucks. The Cat was good for getting out of wet job sites compared to the V8 petrol powered Fords and Inters. The agi's usually carried 4.3 to 5 cubic meters of premix concrete, depending where they operated, so they would not get caught overloaded. with concrete spilled onto the roadway when they took off at lights or stopped position, meant the barrel was full, especially on a hilly road. Many concrete agi-owner drivers made a lot of money from theses Louie's, particularly those who took good care of their trucks, maintenance and driving style. Some are still in use by small contractors that have a Bobcat and tipper operation.

Paul, I know exactly as you say, my ex gave me ... . But after the storm the sun shines and my beautiful friend is smitten by my Kermit, I am planning to take her for a ride soon.

Agreed it could be a very nice truck, it has air bag rears and add a Mack E6.

This may be a bit of splitting hairs. Once a person crosses the country boundary of USA or Australia, they are on the land of the country. If they are apprehended after setting foot on USA territory by 20 meters in or after they have traveled 100, 200 miles or more they are nevertheless on the land of the USA or Australia illegally, distance should not be relevant, they are on the land without a legal right to be on the land of USA or Australia. Their status is they are illegal migrants. Moving inland should not alter the fact that they entered the country illegally. Moreover, they intended to enter the land of the USA illegally. We have the same situation with illegals arriving by sea onto our land. They are deemed illegals and they have no rights. Once caught they are put into detention and dealt with under the law as illegals. That is why the Aust govt sends them to various other places, until their application for refugee status is assessed. If they fail to be assessed as refugees, they are returned to their country. My great grandfather and grandfather and their cousins went to USA to work and had planned to bring their families to live permanently in the USA. My grandfather did this twice, 1913 to 1917 and 1926 to 1930. They all arrived into the USA with the required documentation. Unfortunately, world events and economic depression prevented their plans to return to live in the USA. They came with good legal intentions and legal documents. I recall the Elvis movie, it was revealed that Col Tom Parker was an illegal migrant and why he never traveled out of USA. And the authorities knew he was an illegal, but no action was taken.

This 1990 Mack Valueliner V8, Daycab model, was sold at auction this week by Pickles Auctions, final bid was $AUS 378,000 plus the Pickles auction fee of 10% = $AUS 38,000 approx total of $AUS 416,000 / $US 270,000 on today's exchange rate. It has been restored and motor rebuilt. I am not sure if GST (goods and services tax of 10% was applicable, if the buyer has bought through a business the GST is recovered within a few months). Dan Thomas has the same model that some of you have seen at the truck shows.

A friend had a 2 support brackets made up to beef up the R model cabin roof, roof is now solid especially when opening closing the roof air vent.

That is one neat Superliner. Price is tops even for Australia @ $Aust 300,000.

Pathetic, incompetent and desperate. The court (independent) did not grant him asylum, so he had no right to remain in the USA. Then she quoted the ruling about "RESIDENTS". From Google - A resident can be a foreign national who has obtained a residency visa or other form of permission to live in the country, while a citizen has full rights and responsibilities within that nation. She admitted that he was illegally in USA, fact check - he was not a resident. He should have been deported after he was refused asylum. The comment that the Maryland Senator went to El Salvador (was it paid by the public purse?) yet the Senator has not been to see the family of the Maryland girl killed etc is beyond appalling. If correct, he should be shamed publicly across the USA non stop. These people are oxygen thieves. These people are not acting in the best interests of the USA citizens. What has happened to the moral compass of the politicians, public officials and the legal community?

What happened in Australia was done deliberately by elected representatives, who came from the workers' side of the fence, but they were serving their new o/s masters ... ! not our people. We had world class businesses and industries, gone for ever. And it happened across Europe. In Italy, long established solid well run businesses from around 2005 and thereafter, 1 factory/business closed shop every week, minimum of 100 plus workers out of work and now empty factories lie empty. There are many incomplete factories and warehouses, bare concrete floor slabs, part precast walls erected etc. There is no prospect to complete the buildings and put them to usage. There is no money to demolish the incomplete buildings.

Thanks for the information. I doubt that many people have any real knowledge of what is being produced in China. Many years ago I was offered a position to manage 3 international pineapple broad acre farming, one was in Nanning, China. I declined because my colleague who had the job had kept me informed of the state of affairs in China, it was not pleasant. Zero communications at the farm, this was available in the local village at the party offices. They were flying in risky old Russian aircraft and everything was controlled in minute detail e.g. 1 box of 100 bolts was to air freighted, the box had to opened in our Melbourne office and each bolt countered to ensure there 100 bolts. Every movement of our local managers was closely monitored. The couple from Hawaii who were the onsite farm managers could not socialise with the locals. China has progressed as you have noted and objectively their build local was justified. Except, eventually we have the opposite effect in USA, Australia and Europe. And the cycle will move on. India is the new world economy that I think will far surpass China in all respects. In 2024, two major Indian airlines have placed firm aircraft orders - Air India, a 100% subsidiary of Tata Group, ordered 500 Boeing jets and the another airline ordered 500 Boeing and 500 Airbus. I understand 25 new airports have been built during the last 7 years. Modi and his team are progressing their country.

There is a FUNDAMENTAL BREAK DOWN OF THE INSTITUTIONS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS (people who had a proper legal right to live in the country). Our legal system has soundly failed us in Australia, released these criminals and in no time committed serious crimes e.g. rape and assaults. Yet the LA-LA Chardonnay lefties, especially the females have remained quiet. Our society, women especially are in some sort of denial or what else.

And that is how China has built a new Chinese passenger jet that looks like a Boeing and Airbus, copy copy copy, it is flying within China, and to North Korea and Russia.

and singing pussy pussy 🤔 - imagine them/they/it/whatever ... to protect our country, this would be their reaction. 😱😱

If it aint broken dont touch it, carry on.

The Europeans seem to conveniently forget that without the might of the USA and its women and men, both at home and in the battlefield, Europe would have been speaking German. Russia was supplied with US equipment etc to battle the Germans. And that happened in WW1, it was then that the English branded the Mack trucks as strong as the British Bulldog. I am grateful for that commitment.

Thanks for posting this. She gave it to him hard (I understand Italian) but he could not care less and that has been happening for many years in Italy. People are in LA-LA land while sipping their Chardonnay wine saying this does not happen. The US media made a big story because Trump raised it. It is time people open their eyes and minds and acknowledge what has and continues to go in our countries.

My history lecturer tried to get us to understand, but young and ... mind elsewhere, trucks, girls ... - now I understand, people forget the history, it took me a long time to understand, life experience etc

The ceramic coating does work, heat, air flow temp etc. However, the work quality of the specialist ceramic workshop, the materials they use and following the right process is paramount to achieve the best results. If readers remember the Castrol Oil advertisement , "oils ain't oils". I paid top dollar to have the most reputable ceramic coating company do our turbo and manifold and 10 years later it remains in excellent condition, definitely no rust anywhere. And this company is still in business and excellent reviews.
