There's reasonably well known a recently built a copy of one and lead everyone to believe it was the genuine item 

It wasn't until a bit of carryon on social media that he tried to say something about it was only ever a tribute 

Anyway I guess you can expect anymore from the Kelly gang 

Same joker ordered a whole heap of new Superliners for heavy haulage, Mack ran stories about the single biggest order of Superliners ever

Problem was the useless prick couldn't find the money to pay for them

Mack Townsville was trying to sell me one for some time. No good to me but was a very heavy duty truck

Paul I was a bit confused when I saw the replica. Many on here say that people can do as they please with their trucks or cars. In recent years Jaguar and other companies have been building their "limited continuation models". Maybe Mack could consider such an idea. Who knows if it would pull in some buyers. And what could the price be?

However, copying a Bicentennial, that diluted the importance of the real Bicentennials, it is a disregard for the Mack brand and the owner of the real Bicentennial copied. Imagine attending shows and the owner having to continually tell people or make a sign/display board - mine is the Original. A copy will always be an IMPOSTER - FAKE, it can never have a history like the 16 originals. Maybe JK had deep regrets that he sold Kingsford Smith. How come he did not copy Kingsford Smith?????? Here it was when he had Kingsford Smith, before he sold it.
