Popular Post Pawel Posted November 28, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hello everybody!Didn't write for a long time - first I had a lot of work in Germany, then I wanted to spend the money I earned in Germany with class, so I went to the beautiful island of Sint Maarten, and found (with great pleasure) that it's ruled by Macks. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure, or in case if you wander where all the good ole' trucks go:Sorry to tell you, but this one is gutted (no engine nor radiator):And other from the same lot:This Marmon is rare:Before it took this vacation, it used to operate from Fishkill, New York:I've got lots more, please let me know if you want to see them. Thanks for reading, have a nice dayPawel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like the big yellow DM tractor. Looks like its been recabbed, because those look like the older style hubs. The Superliner is nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hello!Nice to see so much interest! I was surprised to see a Marmon too (first time in my life, I only red about them before), had to take pictures of it. Don't think so about the model, though Steve - although you can never know, life's full of surprises.OK, so let me post some more, before I go to sleep:This poor MH stands on a gas station on the French side:This heavy mover takes a short rest not so far from a party beach:It's got really heavy, walking beam rear suspension:And I wanted to post "a girl in a car" picture, but instead I post this one advertising for a casino:Hope you like 'em, have a nice dayPawel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Otherdog would stop for her no matter what direction he was going. The RD800 is awesome. Wonder if the MH was exUPS with no name in the grill and square tanks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Pawel: I was in Sint Maarten earlier this year. I was surprised at the number of Macks that I saw there. Apparently, St. Maarten is where Mack trucks go on vacation. I stopped by the fire station; unfortunately no Macks, mostly Fords and E-Ones. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockmen027 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Pawel,Along with that Marmon, that company Nenni from Fishkill NY, also sold a 700 series Brockway with a V12 Detriot down that way, be on the lookout for that one......

Wonder if the MH was exUPS with no name in the grill and square tanks?I thought the same thing abou the MH, but didn't someone on here state the UPS trucks were "cut-up"? Also, it has a gold bulldog and I thought UPS did not have the bulldog. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hello! Thanks for your comments!That's a very interesting discussion about the MH. I loved the RD800 too! Unfortunately didn't see the Brockway, it could have gone to one of the neighbouring islands. As for the fire trucks, on the french side they use a lot of Renaults. In the Dutch side Fire Dept I've seen a mixture of Fords and Mercedes-Benz, also some Toyotas.And now - let me post the last of the pictures I've got for you, enjoy:Other steel-nose RD:Photographed in my rear-view mirror:Thanks for looking, have a nice dayPawel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for sharing. The people of St. Maarten of fortunate to have so many Macks adorning their landscape. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Dude goes to a tropical island and takes pics of trucks? Wow. (I'd probably do the same, but figure out how to get girls in the background, lol)Nice pics, though!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi Pawel!Super holiday!I see you filled up enough your camera with the chassis components.It's nice to have a rest with Mack trucks around.Sorry I can't do it in Poland, have to go to The Netherlands.Glad you got a piece of hot summer time.Thank you for sharing, I noted yet heavy rear suspension on that yellow RD.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Jim - I think so too. I was very happy to see so many Macks in one neighbourhood for the first time in my life.Tim - I'm not telling you about EVERYTHING I did there, you understand logtruckman - it sure is/was a beautiful truck, sorry to see it in such a sad shape now. It's like a second or third time I've seen a Superliner in my live! They are so rare where I live.Mark - anytime!Vlad - thanks for your comment! On your way to the Netherlands, do you go through Poland? Well I sure had a nice vacation, especially compared to how crappy the weather in Poland just got.Thank you all for your comments, have a nice dayPawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
