Recommended Posts

Hi guys! first of all i want to say thanks for let me be part of this comunnity, second i beg your pardon for my english hahahaha!, my name is Andres, i'm from Mendoza, Argentina, and like my father before me, and my grandpa before my father, i'm a trucker, my father and i loved the american trucks style, but there are no american trucks factories, just europeans, so we have a lot of Scania, Volvo, IVECO, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen, also we have Ford Trucks too, but they are the Cargo Model hehehehe, anyway, in 1998 we want to buy a new truck for our familiar transport business and hangin around we found a MH 613 forgotten in the backyard of a truck dealer, we love it at first sight hehehehe, and we buy it!!!!!!, so since 1998 we reach our dream and have a real american truck on our fleet, the old 1984 MH 613 has been a great partner for us, we had no complainings he runs like if he were new and we love our old "Galpon con ruedas" hehehehe, i expect share some pictures of him and also expect make new friends from all around the world here!

So thanks again for accepting me, and we read each other buddies!

Hi U685ST!, nop, here are just one U model hangin around, it's a concrete mixer, if i could find some pictures i'll send it to you!, Hi Paul nice to meet you!, your friend Luciano lives here in Mendoza?

Hey BC Mack this is what we did with the trolleys, what do you think about it?

if you look carefully you'll see that the transport who carried the trolleys from the port in Santiago de Chile to Mendoza, was the same transport to what we were working for!

I don't know about the rest of the guys but I understand you fine.

And would say you English looks much better than my.

The trolleybuses are attractive, it seems to me they are cleaner than the new ones driving in the streets of my country's capital.

Welcome!

Hello Andres, You're MH 613 is in perfect condition. You're English is fine too. I think a lot of people in the world don't realize how vast S. America is and the distances involved. It actually dwarfs N. America and much more industrialized than one may think.....Paul

Thanks other dog!, Green dash i hope that you enjoyed the pictures, and Paul thanks to you too!, i was really worried about my english cause i learned by playing video games hahahahaha believe it or not! like said Jack Palance! hehehehe, actually i think you're right pal, many people doesn't know a lot of things about South America, and many people even doesn't know nothing about Argentina!, 10 years ago we were almost broke up economically speaking, but now we are "back in the road" hehehehehe, for example after 25 years Ford Motor Company starts to manufacturing engines again, also we had a deep renovation in the Chevrolet, Toyota, Volkswagen, Scania, Mercedes Benz, Jhon Deere and Case factories, But still waiting for the Mack Trucks factories here! hahahahahaha, about my MH 613, when we buy it, he was........AWFUL! hehehehe he doesn't had his front, the cab was painted in an "abandoned sunburn" blue colour, and had a lots of part missing, in 2001 while we try to fix the molten engine, i copied the front from another one who was in a truck stop, and with some help i could rebuild it, it is not perfect but it looks "acceptable", i think! hehehehe what do you think about?
