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

Yeah really nice truck...Any idea where it is now..... Paul

Great to see more progress Bob...keep at it...I know the clean up is not a nice job.It took my brother and me over 3 weeks to clean and prep the Cruiseliner chassis for paint and then another 2 weeks to put 6 coats of paint on it.......and that was doing around 6 hours a day 7 days a week.Still Id do another one in a heartbeat.... Paul

Have to agree 1000%.When we got our Cruiseliner it was all I thougjt about but as my son began to uncover its history it was just amazing.The people we have talked to about the truck including all the folk on BMT has made owning the truck even more worthwhile that we ever imagined.... Paul

Me too....dying to know.... Paul

Or stay at home with the DM Bob..... Paul

Super looking truck....im waiting with bated breath for the whole story.... Paul

Please tel us more about the Prudehoe Bay truck.We did watch Ice Road Truckers over here and while it got a bit silly at times the trucks and the road were very intetesting... Paul

Welcome to the group.Good luck getting your truck running.Unfortunely Iv no experence with those engines but someone in the group should ne able to put you right... Paul

Growing up with them will do that to you for sure.I first saw a Cruiseliner in the film Convoy,I was 14 years old and swore there and then That somehow,someway some day Id own one.That day came 48 years later when I got mine last year.Funny how the dream never left me.... Paul

Those MHs you have are fantastic.While I love all old trucks Mack cabovers are my favourites.I have an '82 Cruiseliner which is getting a lot of love at the moment.When its done I'll need another project!!!! Paul

Wow...an MH...real nice more pictures please.Enjoyed this thread.Joey and the rest of you know your stuff..... Paul

Welcome to BMT.Your R model sounds wonderfull....pictures please,we are dying to see it.... Paul

Yeah Joey like Jim Beam too..... Paul

I knew someone would pick up on that!!! Its an Irish Whiskey.....🤣 Paul

I havent tried Laphroaig,Tullamore Dew is a single malt as far as I know.Didnt know it could be got in the US.If you like your whiskey then try that Slane whiskey if you get a chance...... Paul

Welcome to BMT.Thats a nice looking Mack you got there.Love how you went about getting it.Thats a story in its self!!!.You'll go far with that attitude.Lots of guys on here who will help you,ask plenty of questions.Remember the most stupid question is the one you dont ask....plenty of pictures please we love pictures....Good luck with it. Paul

Loch Lamond is a nice single malt,Iv drank it a few times.If your looking at Irish whiskey we all know Jameson's, Black Bush, and Powers but theres a new kid on the block...Slane Irish whiskey....nice over ice goes down real smooth.....Mead is made from honey some like it but I find it much too sweet...... Paul

Thanks for the report Geoff.Did you enjoy looking over the lots? I know I would have.... Paul

Two of the most memerable meals Iv ever had were on holiday.One was at Niagria Falls where I ordered surf and turf...out came a steak falling off the plate all around with two king crab claws sitting on top...there was enough on my plate for all four of us........My son and I took a trip to Kiev in Ukraine to tour the Chernobyl nuclear plant and while in Kiev we went for something to eat.At the restaurant we order meat platters each. .out came a platter which had a full chicken steak lamb chops sausage pork chops and loads of sides .. and that was each.We didnt realise that the platters were meant for two people!!!!. Stuffed to the gills on both trips..... Paul
