Gas is 9.50 USD and diesel is 10.15 USD a gallon in Ireland at the moment.Its insane.I feel your pain over here too.Is food gone that expensive in the US?? Over here 2600 US would buy enough food for around 4 months for 2 people...... Paul

Yes they do come from Ireland.Robert Moffett founded the company in the 80s and they quickly became a best seller in truck mounted forklifts.The company was sold to Hiab in 1998.In 1999 Robert Moffett founded a new company called Combi lift making forklifts which can move in any direction for warehouse use.They now also make automated material handling solutions for any industry.They have sold around 100,000 forklifts and export to 85 countries.Now regarded as one of Irelands major success storys.The head office and one of the plants is about 20 miles from where We live.Roberts brother Sam Moffett is an expert in warehouse design and automation....Nice to see you have one Joey.Id love one myself!!!! Paul

I agree Vlad.The H is a super looking truck.I love the G model too.I wonder if Mech can tell us how many Gs were built too...over to you Mech... Paul

Thats nasty.I hope your recovery is still progressing. Paul

True no one knows how long is left.My best friend passed away at just 46 of brain cancer 18 years ago leaving a beautiful wife and 3 great children behind.On his death bed he made me promise Id live life to the full.So if its tomorrow or 20 years time thats what I intend to do...... Paul

Yeah...better hand the floor back to freightrain..... Paul

You hit the nail on the head with that post Geoff.I agree with all you said.Book time means nothing when your doing a project for enjoyment.If it takes 5 times longer that it used to so what?? You enjoyed it...... Paul

I turn 62 on Monday 11th May.4 years to retirement.While Iv enjoyed most of the jobs Iv worked at Mrs Cruiseliner took an average of the hours Iv worked and based on a 40 hour week Iv done 65 years already...I like my current job but Im looking forward to retirement so I can work on restorations full time.....time to look for another Mack!!!! Paul

Happy Birthday Joey.Hope you have a great day....Herself will have something nice cooked for you when you get home and if your a real good boy maybe a cold one or two in the fridge🤣

I had a President base station at home.I cant remember the model but it had 240 channels.I used to do some skip talking and got and sent QSL cards all over Europe.I used a BIG STICK antanna.It caused a lot of TV interfearence.Back then all the TV channels in Ireland (there were only 6 channels)shut down around midnight so I could only use it into the small hours...Happy days indeed... Paul

Back in the 70/80s when CB radio became popoular in Ireland the President AR7 was the biggest seller followed by Cobra and Motorola.Like the US nobody uses them now.....Sadly Paul

After doing some research Iv discovered that Mack did offer a Mack branded CB radio.They were made by Pana-pacific with Mack branding....... Paul

Dont blame her wanting that truck...its fantastic... Paul

Wow...hows that for a great must have if it genuine.... Paul

Guess iv a keeper too.Mrs Cruiseliner doesnt bother me when I spend on the Cruiseliner.She just says Boys and their Toys...... Paul

It does suck growing old but it beats the alternative.....🤣🤣🤣 Paul

My brother just said itd look fantastic parked on his driveway!!!! Paul

Heres two strange stories from Ireland that make me go hhhmmm... One night my brother and I were returning from visiting our sister who lives 14 miles from us.My brother was driving.At a crossroads near where she lives a lady in a green evening dress appeard in front of us.My brother jammed on the brakes and I crossed my arms in front of me fully expecting her to come through the windscreen then nothing...There was no way to avoid hitting her.we pulled over examined the car and the road but found nothing out of the ordinary.When we told our sister she went white with fear.She explaned that a lady in a green evening dress was killed at that crossroads some years back and we were the third people to tell her the exact same story....... At the same crossroads theres the ruins of an old church dateing back about 800 years.Back then priests who passed away were buried under the actual floor of the church they served in.The story goes that a priest who was very much disliked passed and was buried under the floor in the usual manner.Shortly after his passing there was a terrible storm.The next day locals found the church badly damaged with one wall of the church moved in about 5 feet excluding the priest from the floor of the church.Experts recently examined the remains of the church with ground penatrating radar in an attempt to prove or disprove the story.They found the bottom of the wall matches the profile of the wall it was said it moved from and the moved part of the wall has no foundations and should not be able to stand where it is.The part of the wall that moved is about 18 foot high 30 feet long of solid cut stone and would weigh a few hundred tons... hhhhmmmm Paul

Double what Joey said.looks amazing... Paul

Happy Birthday Bob.Enjoy your bash....Have that cold one on me Paul🤣
