Women are sure nice creatures but for some folks they have difficulties to win concurence with trucks. Mike, thank you for sharing. IH firetruck looks neat and uncommon.

In relation to those yellow machines the big Mack truck looks tiny. The load of beams is impressive. Just difficult to wonder the scale of disaster to get permit for transportation of something like that overhere. Neat pinguin. It seems you had a wrong thing got stuck in the fence..

Do you guys talk about the bolts to attach brake spiders to axle housings? Just would like to know the place I might need to bend something.

Wow! Great job! It seems it would be good on my mind for those guys to reproduce in resin castings the parts they scratch built. It could allow others to use them either and bring some $$ to the authors.

Good luck on freshening her up! I like the way it was painted in the pictures you fosted at the start. As for a matt black F-model there's one already made this way in Holland. Used to attend Mack day fest in Utrecht and Amsterdam. Sorry, can't currently post the picture. The site limits me with only 92kb of upload by some reason. Vlad

From looking the engine compartment shot I'd say the double cleaners were just connected to the turbo intake by the T-pipe. The engine looks like ENDT-673 or 707 to me. I'm not the great expert on both them though.

Tom, great amount of work this time! The Diamond-T escort crue is a top notch! Uhhmmm... I just wanted to say Diamond-T is beautiful.

I like dancing E-models.

Thank you for sharing these facts, pretty interesting. I was wondering for a while on the faith of MM2 truck. Vlad

Any thoughts on putting a question on any European Scania fan's forums?

How old are they? Here I still can see three-drum static load rollers. Not a common thing though, just from time to time.

Good scroll on the eye candys!

Great truck! Glad to know someone could afford the expenses to own and keep such the beauty.

Thank you for posting. Beautiful trucks I don't remember seeing any of them (pics) before. And too doubt I would soon have a chance to visit that show personally.

Nice pics, thank you for sharing. As Paul said above. Out of likes for today.

Good comment, Timmy! Tom, this week's report turned out of a big size. My favorite is red RW now. The Kelly Ripper set of pics is just a piece of art. The emotions on your face are absolutely true. Sure the same as the pics themself are Good score on red Macks too. And the smoker is a killer! Almost compensate the shortage of stacks on that last pick-up truck.

BC, I still carry this crazy idea on my mind for real. Once I was pretty close to that but there were too many things to do at the time (as usual) so i had to limit my entertainment to roaming Turkey only. Made that trip from Moscow to Holland first and than crossed the most of Europe entering Turkey from Bulgaria. Ending up on Mediterranian coast. Hope Iranians don't have much of plans to keep me in their country. They are friendly to Russians. At least I heard that

Cool to see Turkish folks talking truck tales Following your idea of Turkish Macks outside of Turkey - The first Mack I ever set in a cab of was F-model tractor wich hauled construction materials to Moscow in 1991 or 1992. It was Turkish company and Turkish registerd truck either. With nice Turkish driver who could only say "Max" in English

Great movie! It shares those day's life. Surprizingly seeing mixer and dump trucks racing. And so many trucks racing either. Just only Phantom 309 along worth watching it. Many thanks for posting.

Looks great! My hat's off to the amount of squaire feet you put your hands on.

Do you do that on a constant basis cruising highways either? I still haven't get the truck on a road this year so no response. Rains, rains, rains...

Wow! It seems like I missed the latest updates. Cool pictures of DM's Turkish company use for contstruction in Algeria. Once about 5 years back I had luck to cruise Turkish roads with my motorbike. No lees than 2000 km at all including Istanbul, Ankara, main highways and small local roads either. During whole 2 weeks I saw the only Mack there. It was DM or R-model wich passed in opposit direction on the highway. I was going nearly 140 km/h so only could see it was Mack. Had an idea to make a U-turn and follow the truck to talk to the driver but didn't do that. The highway was a toll road so I should reach the nearest exit in something like 5-10 km, pay for the way I did to the moment, make a turn, check in on the entry and than try to get to the truck. So it could take up to 50-100 km of the back way with no garanty of the result. Seemed like Macks were rare in Turky. On the other hand there's still Turkish company in Russia which builds objects in Moscow. They used to operate 3-4 Mack DM's in middle and late 90's. One of them was could be seen on the road just a couple of years back. As far as I could learn one truck is still alive. Here's a couple of pics of them from the net.

Beautiful! The way the fenders were done is nice to look over. The body style is cool too.

Beautiful thingy! Seems to me though like just a sleeper off some modern truck put onto Superliner. Nice done job though.

Long ago one of my clients had a car with carburator. He had it loosing power when accelerating. After couple of weeks of search he got to the issue. Someone before him fitted the rubber fuel hose to the carb inlet pipe. Making that he cut a piece of rubber from the hose's inner side by sharp end of the inlet. So something like a small flipper was formed. It didn't block the line completely but moved when the fuel stream was increasing and shut down the engine. Who would have thunk thought...
