Shifty Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've never been early for anything, but it's good to be one of the first ones to post on a new site. Good luck with it, and everyone have a great day. Shifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Thanks K-Wopper I have several things to finish on it, but I've had it out some the last couple years. Fun to drive as long as I can drive it when I feel like it, and put it away until the next time.You have a COE KW on your avitar. Tell us about it. We didn't see many Kenworths on the east coast before about the early seventies, so some of the older ones are rare to see.Shifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Whopper Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hiya Shifty,About the avatar, I'm just a big 1970's KW fan basicly, the picture is from a "Truckem up" poster I had when I was growing up in the 1970's - it's (approx) a '76 model K-100 V.I.T. The K100 and W900 Kenworths looked so good with the double flat-top sleepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 K-Wopper You picked a nice example to use. It's dressed up nice, but not over done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Whopper Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm pretty much into older stock standard trucks (original), there's too many "hotrods" out there these days and though I can appreciate peoples different individualities there's some gear out there which is just plain wrong! I suppose there's so many 379's and W900L's out there it's hard to be an individual... Gimme a W900 or K100 from the 70's which ain't overdone yet looks good and I'm happy!

K-Whopper Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Yeah, I keep getting logged out which is a bit of a pain...Thanks for the picture of the K100VIT John, such a good looking truck!!I've even got that old Overdrive issue too, I used to love getting those mags as a kid... even the adverts were great, and also the Hartley's Truck Wrecker adverts which had the "Truck Wreck of the Month" Trucks were a lot better back then I think...
