    Will give me something to try tonight Oddly enough I can still put photos up in the gallery That bit on the bottom left of the screen shot you posted above no longer appears on my computer or phone As in the bit about "Click to choose files" All I get now is "Insert image from URL" on the bottom RHS of the page Paul

    This may well be the case but how do I delete attachments Other people have asked this on here before and so far I haven't seen a answer Paul

    Thanks for the reply but that dohicky doesn't seem to be on my screen anymore, it used to be there for years I still use the same computer and it even used to work on the phone once I reduced the pixel thingo I had thread started here about something completely different but I couldn't even delete it once I worked out it wasn't working right, pretty sure I could delete threads in the past if I posted in the wrong spot or something Dunno Paul

    That's how my screen used to be Swishman but all I get now is "Insert image from ULR" on the lower rhs Dunno I have tried on the phone and on the computer but no luck with either It used to say my attachments was full or some such thing, now this Either way I'm buggered if I know Paul

    I cant seem to work out how to post photo's anymore ????? I can see insert image from URL, that will only work if I have loaded the photo on another site that everyone has access to I cant use facebook because if people dont have facebook then they cant see them, I had/have photo bucket but its useless these days and is about as useful as a ashtray on a motorbike So how do we load photo's to the forum these days ????? Paul

    Well Im buggered if I know how to attach pictures anymore A real shame to me but I cant find anyway to load up photo's so the story is pretty pointless with out picks and I cant seem to delete the thread so I guess I will give this posting photos a miss till the forum gets sorted I have asked about photo posting and how its done these days but have had no replies So sorry to all I just type replies to peoples questions till I work it out again

    I want to Mrs Mack and the Princess to Newzealnd for 12 months or so in the next couple of years And I have also mentioned the idea of putting Mrs Mack on the boat to the US and Canada for a couple of years The Princess hasnt said no, then again she hasnt exactly said yes either lol But it NZ is doable as is the US, not sure about driving in the US with a RHD truck though Paul

    Yes it's a great video, only one correction for Doug Mack just didnt shape America it shaped the world even in countries they never sold trucks in Mack changed Mack set bench marks on reliability and performance that other manufacturers around the world had to try and match Are the trucks in the museum owned by the museum or on loan, would be great to come over and have a look one day Paul

    Struth you lot get all dressed up for easter, have never seen that in Australia No matter, everyone have a great Easter, eat lots of eggs and hot cross buns Spend time with family and friends Special time of the year for most Im guessing Paul

    Yes I am thinking the same thing Not to have a go at T Line, but it's gunna be mighty hard to sell something that doesn't exist I would be interested in buying one, but not if they have never completed a truck yet Paul

    Sorry I tried to load a comment yesterday The photo is from the Mack Australia facebook page so shifted across for all to enjoy, even those without facebook Caption from the photo bellow #ThrowbackThursday to 1966 where this hardworking B61T Mack is ploughing through the bulldust near Surat in South Central Queensland. Bull dust on dirt roads was very common until the beef roads scheme in 70's started The dirt gets that pulverized it goes like talcum powder and feels like your driving thru deep water as pulls you from side to side Lots of speed is required and on long sections it is some times required to hook road trains together with "stiff bars" or towing poles to push and pull each other thru I haven't had Mrs Mack in bull dust like that in over ten years, its very hard on the truck, the driver and the load I will drive a few extra hundred miles around the road than push thru bull dust for miles Paul

    I think the biggest to change that I can observe is unless something is in it for them most people arent interested, both young and old the same I feel in Australia these days Were as the men that went off to fight in WW2 and earlier wars just did what had to be done for the good of all You rarely if ever see that anymore People will say that will still have young men and women in our defence forces and emergency services but they arent the ones Im talking about The men Im talking about put their country and the world first with out having to be asked and went off to the other side of the world to right a wrong and left families and loved ones behind to perhaps never see them again I feel it wasnt done for money or glory or anything like that, rather it was the right thing to be done and they just did what was right Paul

    I dont care what people say, people were made of different stuff back then than they are today Paul
  17. mrsmackpaul
    Fantastic stuff, and yes I remember your other trucks as well Great stuff and I look forward to following along with the build Paul
  18. mrsmackpaul
    Thanks for that It seems to pull like a train and once boost is established it runs very clean right down to 1200 rpm Paul

    My E6 320 tup turbine struggles to make 20 psi according to the gauge I have seen some big numbers Dunno of my gauge is crook or I have a leak or maybe both ?? Something to do one day Paul

    Some history from this side of the Pacific about you blokes on that side of the Pacific Paul
  21. mrsmackpaul
    As in the moulded plastic type ? Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    I dunno if I have ever mentioned this on here or not Im a lift mechanic (elevator technician I think you blokes call them) by trade I haven't done this for many years but it allowed the Princess and I to have our start and buy our first farm Worked on many high cranes and unusual lifts ( elevators) some up to 800 feet tall in chimneys on power stations I got very use to working at extreme heights and only ever got nervous once that I can think of and that was in a journey hoist like the one pictured fix the antenna above My toes were digging into the floor thru my boots and my ass was going 5 cents 50 cents big time lol Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    Out oif curiosity what boost do you get from tip turbine and what boost would or should you expect from a intercooler in front of the radiator? Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    I dont think so Im pretty sure by opening the exhaust valves it makes it not have enough compression to ignite but still make compression to work against the motor A exhaust brake would make even more compression and make the motor compress the air even further to slow tje truck Paul
