I saw the lower one on the road... Glad i was not seeing things. 

WOW!! Impressed!

Nice find! Thank you!

Love it!!

Great news for all the Volvo haters. I'm glad to announce that I am now going into the truck manufacturing business!
I've recruited a group of American investors to spearhead my new firm. We have opened a factory adjacent to the White House in Washington, DC. (what can be more patriotic than that?) It will be powered by a cloned Scania V8. And since the Bulldog hood ornament has already been trademarked, we will use the one pictured here....middle age man walking a Komondor.
We are currently accepting orders and resumes. Thank You.

I agree. They are the best trucks on the road, bar none!! But some cannot get over that Volvo thing.

I would very much like to, but the local dealer won't play ball like the FL/Star dealer. Plus the FL/WS dealer is the biggest and has the most mechanics. Don't run International since my 05 Paystar because can't get Cat power anymore. The Pete was bought cheap used and is for sale.

And the reason I bought the International in 05 was because of all the E7 engine problems at the time. I had a 2000 CH 70" mid rise, 460 that they never could get right.

But one of my good friends is a salesman and another is a mechanic at Mack dealerships in different cities, so they give me the low down on the new ones and what I hear is aside from the minor crap every make suffers from....all is very good with the new ones.

So, as I have said, if you know how to run a successful business, then you realize you need a good dealer and service department behind you.
But rest assured, if my dealer situation changes I would buy a new Mack in a heartbeat, especially now after seeing all the build quality issues with this Star.

Damned bummed that I missed this!! Thanks for posting these pics!!

IM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY RETIREMENT UP THERE!!!! bobo

That makes two of us.

No website, eh??

You and I must be out of touch, Rob. I don't much like any of the TRICK MY TRUCKS from the TV show. I rather like to see a practical vintage work truck.

I agree.

I remember that tractor from the Lititz show in 2004, where I got this picture. They did a first class job restoring it.

Thanks for that pic.
