cruiseliner64

Is that a tip turbine engine Bob Paul

After all your hard work on the LJ and what you and your family have been through it is great to see you getting some recognition.Well done..... Paul

Tell me more about the trucks you had Bob.especialy the Cruiseliner.I like to know what engine/transmission it had how many miles you put up on it and what kind of work it was used for.Im just intetested in it ..... Paul

Thanks Paul,it has been a a bit of a marathon for us and its not over yet!!!! Yeah we are very happy with the results so far.If we could just get a dry week to finnish the painting then the end would be in sight.We have really enjoyed the work.The weather in Ireland can be very wet at times even in the summer...25 degrees C,mid 70s FH is a scorching day here and we dont get many of those.Most vehicles here dont have air con...dont need it.... Paul

Well guys its just too wet over here to do any more painting so we fitted the 5th wheel and carrier back on to the chassis.We also rebuilt the 5th wheel,new jaws, springs ect ect..we also done a few other small jobs while waiting for the rain to stop.... Paul

Great job,Bob.Nothing like thinking outside the box to get things done.My granma used to say"theres always more than one way to skin a cat"...... Paul

Well guys heres the latest news...we just got the cab into primer today after some awful weather.We think it turned out ok.The weather is going to hold us up again as the forecast is for rain all week.Just cant paint if its damp..... Paul

No tube type tyres are very rare over here now,thats why Im getting it very hard to get a set for our truck.I have a lead on a few for her hopefully it will work out.... Paul

Thats the problem Bob...the politicians have all MY money... Paul

Hahahaha... if only. All you need is money... Paul

Yeah importing anything from outside the EU is expensive The price of the truck is added to cost of shipping then 45% tax is applied to the total.It would make that Mack 14500 to 15000 usd to import here🥶 Paul

Ya dont mess with the Roos... Paul

Outstanding truck and what a history behind it.It deserves to be in a hall of fame for trucks.... Paul

Seams a fair price.It would be 14500usd for me to buy ship and import it into Ireland but would love one.... Paul

Over this side of the world they are kown as Bug Eye Macks because of the shape of the windscreens.None here in Ireland but there are a few in Europe,mostly drilling rigs or cement pumps.... Paul
