    No idea what ever happened. Did a little googl'n and found this: http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/6640946/union_city_nj/avella_s_garage.html and this http://www.yelp.com/biz/avellas-highpoint-garage-north-bergen?nb=1 this http://www.manta.com/c/mm7qvgv/avella-s-garage Seems like maybe he is still around, but it has been 5 yrs so who knows what happen in the mean time.

    Here's one to beat all. My g/f, years back when we first started dating.................came to the house and saw my VHS collection. She grabbed DUEL and said "Let's watch this!". Me: "Huh, say what?" Her: "Ya, I remember seeing part of this once and want to see the whole thing". She sat and watched it intently, never missing a thing. This from a girl that fell asleep watching Uncle Buck!! Come on...Uncle Buck is hilarious and how can you fall asleep from boredom and watch DUEL like there is a test afterwards? Women....you will never understand them.....LOL!

    I used to go down to Dover, OH fairgrounds for the annual steam show. Very cool, lots of neat sights and sounds.

    My truck is still in "General Towing" colors. I like the color scheme and I still get comments from people that remember the truck. Though the bunk kinda throws it off, the typical color scheme is there and I will keep it that way. I used to bug the previous owner for picture from back in the day, but once he sold the company he packed it all away and doesn't seem to interested in digging it up for me. I'd like to do an article for WOT(ha, ha, ha, well I used to want to).

    Sounds good. Need to get a shot of my arm and then photoshop it into three arms holding onto three sticks and then post it. LOL All close together:

    Pretty clean lil ride. Joe will love them spokes!!! Bet the 8 bag on that short wheelbase rides like a buckboard? Heard they aren't smooth to being within. That short has gotta hurt.

    This has been making the rounds on a few forums I frequent. Bet that steam engine is 2-3x the weight of the newer version. Plus the 100% torque at zero of the steam engine gives it LOTS of advantage.

    Pretty cool find! Looks a little weathered, but not beat to death. Good job!

    Ohhh, I knew that was coming. Ben, there is plenty of room. I made the stick bend around to allow the g/f access to the bunk without too much fuss. You can shift them all without them getting tangled up with each other also LOL!

    Aw shoot...now it's time to put'm in the B model and see how they handle a couple sticks? LOL!! My g/f has started my B, but that is as far as she will go with it. She can't drive stick, I've tried a couple times in my pickup. She just won't get on the gas and GO!! She stops everytime she pushes in the clutch to shift into 2nd. She doesn't have a clue as to what I'm doing with my three sticks......

    At my work...that is most the attitude. They will run something into the ground and then stand there and point and say "I didn't do it, it was like that when I got it". My whole life here(last 27 yrs) has been putting shit back together so they can destroy it again. day in, day out.

    Ugh....I'd be pissed too. Lucky my truck is 24 yrs old, but still would hate to find this!! I too park away from people. Don't mind walking a few extra steps. Sadly it don't take much to wipe out a bumper anymore. They are really, really flimsy and likely someone just pushed up against it and just kept pushing without knowing it(should have, but maybe didn't).

    Kudos for a girl driving a stick. My sister and niece both have cars with sticks in them. Hell, they won't own an automatic! Ya, she has the idea down and I think she could likely drive a truck easily enough. I think it will still be a EYE OPENER when she first tries it and it doesn't just "go in" like her lil Audi.

    Welcome aboard. Don't let all the harrassment get to you. These guys can be BRUTAL about pictures of your woman truck..........LOL!!!

    Power supplies very typical for failing. Plug and play to fix it(if that is what is wrong).

    Great work Pawel. Here is basically what I have on the back of my bunk. The air lines clip to the lower portions and the electric socket slips in the middle hole.

    1 1/2 yrs to get someone out of YOUR house? Good gawd is that screwed up.

    ^^I like that one!! LOL!! My disease is a bit different....................mine is garagetosmal. Very nice replica and hope it goes to a good home.
  21. Freightrain
    Wow! NIce job.
  22. Freightrain
    It was put away wet too many times for sure.............LOL!
  23. Freightrain
    I think there is likely a BIG back story to this. I don't see how any of this could happen without SOMEONE that actually owns it knowing something.
  24. Freightrain
    Mines black and white and has no issues. Maybe it is a color thing?? Umm, we do need some specifics to be of any REAL help here.
  25. Freightrain
    Great pics. That red G model is classic. I don't think anyone in 20+ yrs from now will say that about a plastic truck pulling a stock trailer?
