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 Paul

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 Paul

As said above

Congrats on the new arrival, hope all is going as planned Paul

I finally got around to watching these videos Very interesting stuff and thanks for sharing Paul

Yep I'll roll with this, we need a laugh these days And yes it would be fantastic to bring it back to life Paul

A very smooth and stylish truck Paul

Kenworth had adds back in the 70's for their mid size trucks that went something like "Most mid size trucks are lightweights built up, at Kenworth we heavy heavyweights built down" Those Dodge Big Horns look like a lightweight built up job to me Paul

PICTURES IN HISTORY 🌍 The crew of the 'USS Stickleback' didn’t expect things to end this way—rising from the depths on 28 May,1958, only to be broadsided by the hull of a friendly American destroyer, the 'USS Silverstein'. The Stickleback sank to the bottom, an 11,000-foot journey to nowhere. Now, 62 years since the sub disappeared from any radar screen—and became one of only four U.S. Navy submarines lost since the end of World War II—it’s been found again. The sub—named for a spiny, scaleless fish native to many northern waters—was found off the coast of Oahu, Hawai’i, by the Lost 52 Project, an independent initiative to find the 52 American submarine wrecks from the World War II era. The great depth of the wreck (over two miles beneath the surface), and the fact that its precise resting place was unknown, allowed the submarine to elude discovery until now. The project found the sub by cross-referencing old records with modern sonar technology and remote submersibles, which eventually located the ship split in two at the bottom of the sea. The Stickleback’s sinking could have been far worse. It occurred in 1958, after the sub had come out of decommission—ship retirement—to serve in the Korean War. A training exercise gone awry had caused it to plummet through the depths; when the sub managed to resurface, it found itself in the path of the Silverstein. A collision was unavoidable, yet no one was hurt, and the Stickleback’s crew scrambled onto the friendly destroyer before the sub foundered and slipped below the waves, this time for good.

What breed of traileris that Brian ? Paul

Does blow black smoke when this happens??? If it isnt blowing black smoke it would be telling me it is lacking fuel Paul

So we had no idea we were independent being before mirrors were invented?? Must of been a heck of shock to who ever invented the mirror to learn he or she was some one Paul

Well I have learnt something new today, I never new Japan landed on Australia during WW2 Paul

#Onthisday in 1942 the battle of Milne Bay began in New Guinea. On the night of 25 August 1942, Japanese troops landed by sea at Milne Bay. Two Australian brigades (about 4,500 men), some American engineers, and two RAAF squadrons were awaiting them. A savage battle raged along the shore, but after several days and extreme exhaustion, Japanese troops began evacuating by sea on 4 September. Of the 2,800 Japanese landed, only 1,318 re-embarked. Allied deaths included 167 Australians and 14 Americans. Milne Bay is remembered as the first defeat of the Japanese on land during the Pacific War.

That's one heck of a result there Paul

Fantastic stuff, it's always good to get feed back to know if the results on these mods are going good Sounds like another winner Paul

The Antonov fly escaltors into to Sydney when Melbourne was building its first Crown casino It couldn't land in Melbourne then for some reason and the escalators were trucked to Melbourne The company Kone Elevators won the contract because they were the only people that could get the escaltors in the time frame required Write ups in the paper and Im pretty sure even made it to the news on TV Paul

Looks sharp Paul
