Neat ducks! And turkey's. I have never seen any turkey flying. And... did I say about turkies? A good point about the bank account

Hi Pawel! Great news!! I know exactly what you feel because I tried to drive a big truck for the first time after driving a car for nearly 20 years myself. Funny thing with me that I had no one hour of practice with a professional instructor. Only at the exame Another nice thing was to start trainings driving my green American beast with mostly ground-off split gearbox. So you have to make 2-3 attempts to put in every gear. Saving power on avoiding the clutch use though. Good luck on the deal, I hope and at the same time sure you enjoy it.

Sounds good! But I'm afraid all that is just a dreaming. Or... If you noted the article said about a dog sled at some point

Sorry to making you upset looking the pictures. Here's the last bunch. The red VW concept car seemed attractive to me. I haven't learned any details about it though.

Some BMW's including the white color strange unit. Never seen anything like that before.

Jaguars XKE. Some British company reproduced the most of the outside panels for XKE so you can build about a new body for that type of car.

Jaguars

Continue of MB. The big pre-war ones are compressors.

More MB. The ones on the scene were the official Mercedes-Benz stand. The vehicles were took out of the factory museum

The most of my attention was payed to Mercedes and Jag cars. Two reasons - I like them and found no Macks to drool over instead of.

The exception I noted was the GM Futureliner. I was surprized to see it personally and didn't miss the chance to talk with the owner on what that beast was and wat it was made for. He explained me that only 7 survivers are currently exist and 2 of them are in Europe including the one at the show. I should admit the thing was impressive.

Hi to all, I don't know if anybody noticed me being scarce recently or not but I was generally off the 'puter for the last two weeks indeed. A friend of mine offered me to make a trip to Europe to shake up the brains after the long winter months and I accepted the entertainment. We started from Moscow, crossed Belorussia, Poland and entered Germany setteling down in the city of Essen. There was the largest European classic car show demostrating the top-quality resto shops, classic car clubs, vehicles for sale, flea market e t.c. As usual. I've done the bunch of pictures and supposed it would be interesting to our members to put an eye on them. So here we go. There were not many American vehicles and about nothing of trucks. With at least one exception wich worth to be seen on my mind.

If the banjo is stamped steel you have good chances with some work required. Cast iron seems as another story. Good luck on fixing it.

The issue list doesn't sound nice. Would that brace allow to move the knee?

It was for sale there for a long while, on Truckspaper or Craigslist. Was announced on here either, maybe more than one time.

It has a powerful look. Studebaker cab? Or its own?

Thank you for the pictures. I like the blue truck's inspector and the red truck's inspector too. Good to see the trailor has a "short memory".

A lot (or the most?) carriers here use Chinese tyres. Mostly Aeolus, Double coin, West lake and others. The talks about were different although costs beat up other reasons. In general I hear they're good until you overload them. It's said taking to account 95% of all loads were way out of limit just one year back when hard ristrictions applied. Some "fashioned" owners-operators put Michelin's or Conty's on a streer axle and drive ones are generally Chinese or Russian made otherwise. I personaly myself have just minor experience putting Aeolus 11R24.5 on my R-model all around. To the moment I made less than 2000km on them and with absolutely no load. Haven't had any issue so far.

China is a helpful country A couple of years ago I bought the whole set of 12.00R24's. Don't remember what they exactly cost but I do remember I was going no less than a year to make that deal.

From what you posted I can see the most things are BIG in Montana I like the highway - wide and empty. Or... is that a local road??

Pretty interesting. I would be likely to learn more about. Vlad

Last year I found one in the woods. Not sure it was sold less than 10 years back though. Especially seeing the amount of water inside it... Mike, good luck on fighting the world.

That doesn't look nice. Hope people will withstand.

I agree on the matter of the question. I don't actually know how much of that worthless disk space is required to continue the trucking news thread on a top gear range but it looks like many of us on here would like to know the matter of the issue and the scale of the disaster. If any disaster really exists. Hope that doesn't relate to a top secret kind of info.

Seems like MH is too high and dangerous for you Mike. Otherwise I'd offer one to swap for RW. Just kidding. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Try to keep every thing in its load range. Including your activity.
