there's not many trees there I guess it must be pretty wind swept I guess they why they are putting up a wind farm duh Paul Mate Im glad its all working out ok Paul

I cant wait to see it with paint on it I have got a truck to this stage once well and then I added the paint my god it looked like the kids from kinda had done it Im sure yours wont top job and thanks for taking us along for the ride Paul

good news all round dont you just love it when plans come together well done to the your wife and the lads fixing your trailer Paul

thats a lot of weight on the float ( sorry low boy ) what sought of gross weight would that be ? I like the look of the truck and float neat as a pin Paul

This one was another forum I had never seen it before and you thought you were having a bad day Paul

believe it or not new bus chassis were delivered in Australia like that from one end of country to the other I dont think they would get away with it today Paul

if this is true I would have thought that when the new trans was ordered surely someone would have picked it up when ordering the new trans either way after all the stuffing around I would be fairly keen to be demanding some answers and a look at what is said to be wrong These problems are good reason to teach yourself how to do these jobs your self or maybe thats just me Paul

I know just how you feel and so does the Princess

how tuff is that I would swap mrs mack for that Paul

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM doesnt sound to me like it should be a change over transmission do these people actually no whats wrong or are they just going to change the transmission Have they shown you the problem the actual parts that are faulty have they even got the box apart it doesnt sound right to me if it was in Australia I would expect to be taking into the work shop and shown the bit's and have it explained to me whats wrong Unless the transmission housing is broken I cant see why it would be required to change the whole transmission over it could have just one crook bearing could have something stuck in the gear dogs stopping it sliding all the way in and cost nothing to fix could be just a worn washer as gear head has stated I would be demanding to see whats wrong first just my thoughts Paul

I dosnt have switch in the injector pump on the governer to prevent this ??????????? most motors do Paul

Just for you

came across this today http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11482699/Lorry-collapses-under-weight-of-65-tonne-steam-train.html Paul

Im not sure what you want pictures of most of Australia has no people living in it I dont think most people out side Australia have any real concepte that theres a whole lot of sweet f--k all in this wide brown land the population density graph for the US should help to explain what Im on about or third highest density is the same as the US lowest so when I try and explain that there is no people living there well thats sought of what I mean it is still quite common to drive all day in Australia and only pass another vehicle every few hours at the hottest times of the year out west I have driven all day passed not one person coming the other way the has been only slight damage recored from cyclone Nathan thats not to say the cyclone wasnt big and destructive just not many people live were it has gone now cyclone yasi in 2011 now that trashed a huge area of QLD Paul

so you arrived all safe and sound let us no how you find the tough NZ autumn or as you blokes call it fall soon to winter there Paul

love it only in Australia can we laugh at ourselves like that Paul

by the look of the doors and lids I think we can all say your well hung Paul

cant wait to see this bonnet when its done sorry hood sounds interesting Paul

yes lucky for us not many people live in that part of the world here mind you we could have done with some more cyclones this year no rain in most of the tropics the difference between a hurricane and a cyclone is they spin the oppisite way like water going down the the plug hole in the bath Paul

welcome looks the goods I have no idea what its worth but if it was mine I would just drive it every were looks like a short wheel base Paul

all systems go hope it all comes out ok for you Paul

looks like a neat job to me gotta be pretty chuffed with it Paul

just quickly jumped on google and converted that equal's around 5.8 MPG and thats about what I would expect I dont know what you blokes do different than we do out here but our MPG is better than the over in the states I feel the speed you blokes drive at has a lot to do with speed limit in Australia is 100km/h or 60 Miles/Hour Paul

well that last photo shows why we just call them COOL POWERED MACKS out here no one ever really calls them Maxidynes or Thermodynes interesting that the Aussie fiberglass bonnet is a lot smoother inside and out than the US one less ribs ect Paul

yeah its a great feeling when a plan all comes together well done and you no what these blokes on here will want next a some pictures and a longer video Paul
