Sounds like a good start for a project 

Paul 

Well there you go, bet those are some words you never thought you would say or in this case type

I'll be watching this space to see what you learn about it

I've seen a lot of the 2 cycle DDs with emergency shutoffs...flapper door on the air intake. Handy thing to have!

I have never seen a screamer with out the flap 

Wonder if we only got screamers with the flaps in Australia, I wouldn't think so as they are sort of well known for their ability to run away 

Paul

That Dodge is looking as flash as 

Great photos, thanks for sharing 

Paul 

Sorry Joe your wife and you are a tad bit off

Nobody has been arrested for protesting the government in Australia and I think you will find almost all independent countries have established their own governments and made their own laws, they weren't simply given to them as you put it 

Yes by law you must vote in Australia and you will be fined if you dont 

You can cast a donkey vote (write whom ever you want on the ballot paper here as well) 

That donkey vote gets counted and goes to who ever wins

Voting is very important as the right to vote by all Australians of voting age was a very hard fought for privilege 

I am surprised Australian politics even makes into the U.S. media 

Paul

Thats bugger all oil use in the grand scheme of things 

Yes it's some but not bad

Don't take this the wrong way, but the basis of our two Countries are completely different.  The US was established as a Constitutional Republic, governed by the Rule of Law.  Australia was established as subjects of the Queen. 

Almost correct, we are also governed by the rule of law

And that law is our own lawn written by us for us, not by the Queen or the King

Paul 

Dont take this the wrong way, I cant imagine anyone in Australia doing that, we take politics very seriously but in a very different way than the US 

We may even take it a fare bit more seriously than America

Well it's not long now until your President knows his fate in politics 

Paul

I did have Tapatalk on the old phone and got it just for the forum

Honestly I couldn't tell the difference 

When I say old phone, this is my first phone and it was smarter than me so I bought a cheap simple phone for me to learn how to use a phone

I found it as frustrating as all get out at first but over a few years I learnt more about it and it has prettty much replaced the lap top

Paul

So do people get paid to tow trailers about for the election or are they just passionate about it ?

Please excuse my naivety but US elections to the rest of the world are very different

For purists I apologize, but the switch to radials on the front improved as much as the single drive radials.  A much improved ride

Lovers are gunna love and haters are gunna hate 

I wouldn't care either way, as long as your happy thats all that matters 

And tubeless are so much more reliable, dunno about ride but you will get at least 100 times less punctures than tube tyres

Enjoy the ride 

Paul

They are a thing of beauty, much much sexier than a B model or R model 

The lines are just perfect to my eyes 

Very very sexy indeed

Paul

With a 200km radius for the FE and 300 km radius for the FL  it should be a winner in almost all city type operations 

Even in Australia's sprawling cities it should be a goer 

I hope this goes well for Mack and they are sold out here

Paul

A Fourth coloured dog

I didn't see this coming, all the anti Volvo talk I would of thought that this is the last thing that they would do

Paul 

There must of been a fare few Macks running around in that part of the world once

I wonder how many survived ?

Great stuff Vlad

Paul 

Oh ???????   

Well as long as it's all worked out ok for you then, thats a hell of drag raacing figure out of the box

Sounds to good to be true, I  hope it all lives up to your expectations 

Paul

That is quite the car, pretty sure Packard made a copy of the Rollsroyce Merlin during WW2 for the PT boats and no doubt other things as well 

And it was a lot more reliable than the Rolla I seem to recall reading once

Paul

I was looking at my mates R model on Sunday 

Dogs on the mirrors face out wards, dogs on the mud flaps face inwards

All original Mack, only 400,000 km from new and never been fiddled with

A "purple circle" ? Thats a new one for me......

Pretty common saying in Australia 

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=purple circle

Paul 

Yep no idea what this is about, glad it went well what ever it was 

Guessing a purple circle thing and Im out of the circle

I guess that old saying "pictures or it never happened" comes to mind lol

Paul

Something to remember is different parts of the world had different air brake requirements to Australia 

I dont think they will be a lot different but ?

The UK and at a guess Europe as well had three air lines going to their trailers, not sure what the third air line did, have asked before but never had a good answer 

So some extra things to think about, Swishmans picture should be a good start

Paul

I'm very interested to see how the curtains work for you 

I think if theywork well it will be a good investment 

Paul

When did Fargo stop existing, at a guess I would of said mid 50's in Australia
