  1. Well sorry for missing this but havent noticed it the thread before as it also appears no one else has not that I would have been any help I know nothing about these motor Dont think we snubbed you I just havent seen this thread as with some other threads that come along as well the new forum layout makes it easy to miss a new thread or reply Paul

  5. Ha Ha I laugh when I read all this anti ethanol stuff its been 10% out here for years and years I have never noticed any difference people crap on about bits of rubber and diaphragms dont last as long what a crock and mileage isnt as good seems just the same out here maybe our ethanol in Australia is a higher quality Brazil runs 85 % ethanol and all cars sold in Australia now have to be built to run at 85% as well guess what news flash its same car different sticker LOL Dunno why you dont like ethanol blends they work just fine here or maybe as I said the ethanol is different in the US than here Paul
  6. Crikey Kirky's famous LOL good on ya Kirky hope you enjoy your Pete Paul
  7. Well it had to happen one day ran out of likes so put me down as liking the lot love them old cattle trucks all these trucks done up would be better than when they were new fantastic stuff and what a show it looks to be Thanks for taking the time to post all the photos really enjoyed them keep them coming and as the Swish man says give till it hurts LOL Paul
  8. from what I have heard over the years there was plans for more power from the E9 than this I dunno if these electronic ones sound as good as the mechanical but when your camped on the side of the road on a still night you can hear a E9 on a road train from half a hour or more away thumping out into the still night air and what a sound makes a Harley Davidson sound like a posty Honda LOL Paul almost feels like a crime putting that in a post about E9's
  9. Your doing well there a big job but should be worth it all at the end Paul
  10. you blokes have really got to get a handle on this BS before its to late Paul
  11. dunno what you blokes call that over there but we call it "putting a foot out of bed" here lol Paul
  12. Malone welcome to the forum , Mack Australia still has the roof skins as far as I know as they do most panels so maybe you can still buy them there Paul
  13. now thats more my speed and style but of dont think I saw in cattle in the ring but still cattle sheilas and some good music all we need now is a Chamberlain tractor R model Mack a Cat crawler, IH tractor and some more foxy sheilas and we we would have a good video clip lol Paul
  14. they arent a good seller out here never have been dont why but I think it has to do with Fiat trucks back in the late 70's Fiat , Iveco is all the same company and Fiat trucks pulled out of Australia in the late 70's over night and people had trucks they couldnt get parts for and were left high and dry they trucks went good enough but company support let them down Bad name can hang around for a long time Paul
  15. we will have to send you over a bull bar might help to stop some of the damage in the future Paul
  16. Just like trying to have a crap at home and you cant get no peace anywhere the wife the kids the bloody phone and what now a snake enough of this bull shit surely a man can have a crap in peace !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. Yep we all get times when we wonder what the heck we did to deserve such special treatment hope the young blokes OK trucks can fix but humans not so well sometimes You know one day you will sit back and laugh at his over a beer or two, may Dad always tells me "good always comes from bad , sometimes you just have to wait", followed by a long pause and then he goes " a real long time" Paul
  18. mate wish you all the best with your sale should be a great project for some one wont be me though but I can dream to far to bring it out here and like you I have to much going on now Paul
  19. the crowd was fair subdued for Run around Sue Mate Im from way after 1950 but I still enjoy a lot of stuff from that era funny thing is my son listens to music from when I was a young wipper snipper Paul
  20. I have never had anything to do with them but theres some pretty big figures there just think how strong that Maxitorque box was built all those years before when Mack motors had less than half the power Paul
  21. Tim I wouldnt worry about what others think Mums are pretty special I reckon and they are much better at paper work than blokes, never known a bloke yet that likes paper work lol Paul
  22. I read the book on Ken Thomas only in the last month or so if you havent read it grab your self a copy zipped thru it in no time great read and the way the book ends very sad Paul
  23. Does Mack in the US do anything like this ???? I find Mack Australia really good to deal with always have and have nothing but good words for them I guess thats why they sell so many trucks out here it isnt because they are cheap trucks from China they go extra mile and that is something you cant put a price on as far as Im concerned Still think KW are the biggest seller but Mack cant be to far behind any more A big thumbs up to the team at Mack Australia from me Paul
  24. WTF is going over there no wonder Tim wants to go to NZ to live thats outrageous I always work on the theory good news or bad I need to know whats going on and we can then work towards fixing it Paul
  25. 3.5 MPG triple road train 5.6 MPG B double they are pretty good figures BUT a cool power Mack was getting figures like that 30 years ago a bit slower a lot less power but was still getting those figures Have we really moved that far forward some might ask ? but after 14 hours sweating your ring out in a hot R model cab I bet you feel a tad bit different hopping out of the new Scania, a tad bit different might be a understatement Paul
