cruiseliner64

Never knew that!!! ...You'd never know what you'd learn on BMT..From Fullers to Maxitoqures to the Irish Potato Famine...Fantastic and no my folks never took the soup.The saying "are you going for soup?" has been around as long as I can remember but it was slang for "are you going for drink".What you have said does fit in with what I remember when I was in my teens.At that time religious instruction was very strong and I can remember priests calling Alcohol "Protestant Soup"to try to keep young people away from it...They failed in my case!!!! Paul

The Cruiseliner is our sanity.otherwise we'd be insane🤣

I wish...No where to store them.We dont even have a workshop.We do all our repairs out in the open on a gravel space.My son and I are regular working guys on regular wages trying to look after our Cruiseliner as a lifelong dream.If we had the money we'd have a shop and a fleet of Macks.We just work with what we have.... Paul

Welcome to BMT.Really nice Superliner..Best of luck with it Paul

Welcome to BMT Nathan.Lads this Cruiseliner is a sister of our Cruiseliner.My son Daniel has been in touch with Nathan a lot over the last few months.We are hopping to reunite the two Cruiseliners in the not too distant future. Nathan the lads here have helped us so much.We would not be as far on with our Cruisliner only for them.Good luck with our sister truck. Paul

Welcome to BMT.Thats is a big project you have there but with a bit of time it'll make a great truck.Good luck with it. Paul

Yes sir somebody got the deal of a lifetime. I couldnt find a Cruiseliner for years then within 9 months 2 come up for sale...... Paul

Yeah we looked at doing it sometime but I could buy another Cruiseliner for less than it'd cost to go there.....still might do it when I retire in 5 years time..... Paul

Happy Australia day Paul.Cold beer a BBQ and Fireworks (banned or not)are the order of the day im sure...Iv some family out there.The wifes brother and his wife are in Darwin,a nephew in Melbourne,2 nephews and two nieces in Sidney and a nephew in Perth...should really visit someday. Paul

Sounds fun...I did have the welder experience.One cold wet winters night I was hauling a load of fresh fish which just had to be delivered fast.The trailer was an older refer with single leaf springs and a balance beam between the two axles.The tower on which the balance beam sat cracked so I decided to make for the yard and weld the crack.While doing the welding job It started to rain really really heavy.Dont know what I done but I lit up like the same Christmas tree!!! You would never get todays drivers to do even 10% of what was done back then.With welding done I headed on up the road for another 4 hours to unload the fish...Happy days indeed. Paul
