macks in nigeria

Steyr 6 Cylinders in line.

Truthfully they make their owners money.The Dangote Group which is owned by Africa's richest man and in fact the richest black person on earth got tired of ordering them in 2000 units batches that he went into a joint venture with CHNTC manufacturers of Sino Trucks for their assembly in the country so that he can get more units more quickly.

Here 99.5% Class 8 trucks are stick,which is why the Chinese are penetrating the market with clones of popular European trucks.Imagine buying a brand new truck with technology from the 60's and 70's for 30% the cost of an American or European truck.I see fleets selling off 3-5 year old Mack trucks that nobody will touch but scramble over 40 year old R's.We love to keep it simple.

Sad story but fair judgement.Never take safety around a truck for granted.

That book from you needs to come for posterity.

Very soon.will send some to you and you help me put them up as I have tried before without luck.

Those roads look very familiar only thousands of kilometers away.

I too hope nobody on here put his relation to a member on a race basis.  Scumbs do exist in any race or nation.

Vlad this time I don't think any harm was intended just bantering off some Thanks giving excess.

Trying to figure out what the shooting picture is all about.....she is wearing the same shirt, both pics...........so if that means she was pouring hot lead (first pic) into some Somolian pirates off the side of that cargo ship (second pic) you probobly should not have broken it off! Especially if she can still hit'em after downing a six pack of Baltika.

(no offense to Macks in Nigeria)

If any member of my race is a piece of S**T I am all for whatever they get,just don't generalize.Sorry i took the bait late, was off the grid for 48hrs.

Afraid you won't be a good example to the kid?You can keep her from the booze if you try.

The Chinese run stuff resembling this to this day

Happy holidays to everyone on BMT and especially to our American members.As you celebrate Thanksgiving think about all the things you share in common than that which divides you.

A  quote from Nigerian Novelist  CHINUA ACHEBE for the season.

"A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving.They all have food in their homes.When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon.Every man can see it in his own compound.We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so"

Chinua Achebe. Things Fall Apart.

That's a new engine you have there.Like we say here,  More grease to your elbow

Sometimes it takes someone coming out for you to also have the courage to come out in the open realizing you were the victim and not the villain.Some decades ago rape victims were seen as having brought it upon themselves through behavior or exposure, to this day their is stigmatization of rape victims in my country."who wants to marry a rape victim".Look at the epidemic of rape in India and the honor killings that go with it.

! will not all it cheap labor.The EU is an economic union with different levels of prosperity amongst the member countries.If my overheads are low ,then my charges will be lower.No need profiteering.

You couldn't get a full picture the kind we love here?

You did the right thing insisting he should be punished for theft.That was pure love in the hope he will learn his lesson,tough luck he didn't but you can sleep at night knowing you  tried to straighten him out regardless of how people might see it.The Christmas day bomber's father is one of the wealthiest people in my country and also honorable too,when he saw changes in his son he notified the US embassy 'which means the CIA and FBI,if they took him seriously or did not wonder can he rally be telling on his son that near miss would never have happened.He is viewed with a lot of respect here for that act more than the fact that at some point he was CEO of the third largest bank and later the Chairman of the largest bank in the country.

They should have no "human rights"

I will hug my teenage son and daughter today and remind them how much I love them.All over the world insecure women from single parents to divorced mums tend to somehow condone or cover up for their new partners when their is violence against their own biological children.

By the time they become usable in my clime because of the infrastructure ,I would have changed address up above or too old to step into a truck.A 650,000 barrel per day new refinery is coming on stream here in 18 months.What an irony.
