  2. Yep the world is sure in a mess over something we cant see taste smell or feel Im fortunate or unfortunate enough to remember the last big crash in Australia in the late 80's early 90's so took very drastic and decisive measures early on I'm not sure what everyone else is doing in Australia but people are just starting to look at the longer term effect of Covid 19 in the weeks months and year ahead I think only now are Mum and Dads getting concerned Hopefully for them it isnt all to late but I feel unfortunately really tough times are fairly likely ahead for a lot of us Paul
  3. Nope, have never seen drivers that cool in Australia, doesn't mean they aren't I just mix in the uncool circles Paul

  10. As usual Vlad, love your work Thanks for sharing Paul
  11. FB link doesn't work on this of the world Paul
  12. Scares the heck out of me as well The clowns running Australia have changed the laws for not only bank bail puts but also for bank bail ins The banks can sieze any and all assets that they have a interest in and borrow against your own equity in your own house or car or what ever They can sieze your deposits They can do all of this to keep them selves afloat with out even telling us And what about 8f the interest rates fall bellow zero we will be paying them to store our own money Its a flipping mess and is gunna make the crappy times of GFC or 80's look like childs play if this goes pare shaped Paul
  13. I feel, and Im probably wrong, that most people dont really care how well a truck is done or how much was spent on it Its all about having for me Paul
  14. Well thats great news Got twin pipes that finally turned up last week Been waiting a fare while, like 6 months and few false starts to get the made and chromed I'm not saying your telling me porkys but I dunno if twin 6 inch pipes is gunna make Mrs Mack any quieter lol Not sure if I want her quieter lol Paul

  16. Dunno about the video, sitting at airport waiting to catch the kero kite to plant a mate and it would be rude to watch it in the airport But that last line I feel is pretty much spot on The future will only tell us how bad it was The media are out of control here as no doubt they are in the rest of the world The sun will come up tomorrow no matter what we do And Coranavirus is the proper for the common cold apparently And there's a covid number of your choice for every year for decades Covid 19 is 2019's version of man flu People need to get a grip Thats all Paul
  17. Looking really good Vlad You'ved delved into a R model cab further than Great stuff, just hope you remember how it all goes back together Paul
  18. Do we worry about a whole heap of crap these days or what Came across this on Facelessbook Tough old blokes who despite what the ungrateful sods of today bitch about did a hell of a job and changed not only the U.S. future forever but the whole worlds future for the better I dunno if you need Facebookor not view it, someone much smarter than me will have the answer I wonder what these old fellas would think of America today compared to the one they fought to create No doubt things like the space race and our fast l planes etc would impress them, not so sure about the girls blouses running yours and my country into the ground I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and as John Laws would say "keep the dream alive" https://www.facebook.com/1534320662/posts/10216980552296065/?sfnsn=mo&s=100009061418031&vh=e Paul
  19. WOW Vlad, you and your helper are doing a great job there, have been wondering how its all been going Did any damage happen to the cab when you lifted it ? I am wanting to lift my cab off and pit heat shield and more sound depending under it Great stuff and thanks for sharing Paul
  20. Maybe its the internet over here at the moment but I cant get those YouTube links to work No good asking Swishman to help, he would say they have Volvolized or some such thing Paul
  21. Thats why I reckon we cant nominate our own toys , instead it must be someone else's Gives every joker a chance then Paul
  22. In Australia before the days of luxurious power steering and the like trucks had either a lesser or greater castor angle which caused you to chase the wheel at speed down the high Often this is referred to as taching, like sailing a yacht This is easily correct by returning the caster to the correct angle with wedges between the axle and the springs The purpose of the incorrect castor angle was it made it much easier to steer at low speed as in parking ot tight manoeuvring Im guessing this was a common practice back in tbe day across the world Im also guessing the castor angle was decreased but a proper wheel alignment place should be able to give you correct castor or no doubt google can help Then off to your local hardware store and buy a spirit level doodah that can measure angles and see what you come up with Paul
