  1. Rob,be prepared to spend some time looking at that website! I never knew they made that many bus models! they even have some Traiilways and Greyhound model terminals to park them at! some neat stuff on there!.........................Mark
  2. Now I remember the green one Mike! but if I remember correctly didn't it have flames or something painted on the fenders? and I seem to recall one of the headlight trim rings was missing!.......................................Mark
  3. Holy shit! I never knew there were so many model buses produced! (thanks 84superdog!) I had an uncle (now deceased) who drove for DeCamp Bus Lines Montclair,NJ for almost 50 years! The bus I remember as a kid was a GM "fishbowl" I knew Corgi made a fishbowl,but never knew they were available in so many liveries. I am going to order the "Old Look" GM coach and the Greyhound (Van Lines) truck for my collection!..............................................Mark
  4. DAMN! I'm diggin' them ribbons!.................................Mark
  5. I sure like the B-Model Chuck! I used to see the R-Models around when I was up that way. Do you remember M.I.T transport from Hammonton (I think)? they ran mostly R-Models too,i know I have some pictures of their trucks,i remember one (an owner/operator) that had a really sharp white-orange and black striped Cruiseliner............................Mark
  6. Photographic evidence that driving a Detroit powered Peterbilt CAN make you batshit crazy!.....................................Mark

  9. Rollo Transport,Keyport,NJ....................................Mark
  10. This one may have showed up before,only Vinny knows for sure!.........................................Mark
  11. I was afraid of that Mike! especially when I saw the dual exaust and dual air intakes!............................Mark
  12. "Maury" has his doubts too!...................................Mark
  13. I found this picture on a website that was printed in a foreign language unknown to me,but it's a nice picture of what looks to be a still working truck,going by the modern RD and KW next to it.Sharp old truck,i have always liked the L cab on a B-Model....................................Mark
  14. Some of the original "old school" super truckers? Bogie and George Raft? I like the part where Bogie threatens to beat the shit out of the "Chisler" (Truck broker) that owes them money!........................................Mark
  15. Funny thing,most all the Gremlins and Pintos here on the east coast were cut-up and made into modified stock cars back in the 70's pretty rare even now to see one!...........................................Mark
  16. Wicked "winch" of the west?....................................Mark
  17. Funny you should mention that Larry,it was either Sunday or Monday,i saw a Gremlin "X" I can't remember when the last time I saw one! looked in pretty decent shape,blue with black stripes...............................Mark
  18. Tom,i had one all loaded up for just such an occasion! looks like some nice goodies! I had the pleasure to meet JoeD up at Macungie this summer....................................Mark
  19. "That's right Otherdog!!!! you have won this B-U-Tiful six piece genuine imitation leather luggage set,with an estimated retail value of ALMOST $25.00"!!!!!!!
  20. "Now lemme' see,i left Bakersfield yesterday,delivered in Indianapolis this morning,dead-headed to Chicago for my re-load,which i'll empty out in Jersey City tomorrow,............now that's carry the one,divided by six,multiplied by 8 hours driving time,10 in the bunk,BINGO! should come out just right"! AND if I stick with it,and don't fritter around,i'll be back in L.A. for the weekend!...................................Mark
  21. This one about broke my heart when I saw it!................................Mark
  22. Engage PTO and COMPACT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Not sure if its correct or not,but the caption with the picture says its a 1945 White WA-20?............................Mark
  24. I like it! damn nice looking old school truck! Mack? no,but A-cars are sure in my "top 3"!................................................Mark
  25. I hate to admit it,but Mack hasn't REALLY stood behind their trucks in decades! I had to raise 7 kinds of hell with customer service over several warranty issues,i talked to some of the principles in person at MATS when the problems were current. It took some doing (on my part) but the problems were satisfactorily handled! It was the same issues many were having at the time (E-7 camshafts,coolant tanks,intermittent electrical shorts etc.) I told all involved that if Mack was not something I believed in,i wouldn't have bought FOUR new ones! "New" truck? of ANY make ? no thanks! when this one gives up the ghost,my next ride is gonna' be a re-built R-Model or maybe an MH.........the way things are today,no more new trucks for me! especially with all the electronic,EPA,DOT environmental bullshit!.....................Mark
