Doug Maney Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Antique trucks are considered 25 years or older. If you have a newer truck you can send by email a photo and we will review it and let you know if it would be able to be shown in the special interest area as well.

JTFormula Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 A Philly cheese steak in Macungie?? I was born and raised and lived most of my life in Philly. I moved "up north" about 10 years ago, and let me tell you something, I have been searching for a cheese steak that even comes CLOSE to what you get in Philly- these Dutchies (derogatory term for Pa. Dutch folks) wouldnt know a proper cheese steak if it slapped them across the face. One time I ordered one and got pickles on it......You could get your ass kicked in Philly for that!!!!You are right. I have had better cheese steaks at the jersey shore than anyplace by Allentown.

fxfymn Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 A great place to get something to eat that is a little bit different is at the farmer's market located at the State Fairgrounds in downtown Allentown. Lots of booths and small counters to get a good meal at a good price. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I have had better cheese steaks at the jersey shore than anyplace by Allentown.As a midwest guy,the food at the Macungie Pub was great! And the beer was cold!.I was a happy "truck show attendee" by the time I left that place! Authentic or not,I was in good shape!

rsb502 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Doug I got a quick question for ya, I have a TN handgun carry permit and PA honors such, what about the atca or the show grounds are they any restrictions for carry permit holders?

rsb502 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Nope, not you Ron, I like to make sure Im legal before I go somewhere, I have carried legally for 13 years now and since TN permits are reciprocal with most states Im ok most of the time but you never know. I know PA is reciprocal and from what I can find online, legal carry in Magungie parks is allowed but some groups frown on it and if my second amendment rights are infringed I dont participate. I wont go to Outback restaurant anymore since they posted no weapons, theres actually a list on TGO.com of carry prohibited locations that most of the TGO members will not do any business with. Im just funny like that, I have some things I just wont bend on and the constitution is one of them, thats why Im all for buying from Watts Mack they actually sell Gun lubes, I bought a set last time I made an order and if I need other Mack parts Ill see if I can order from them first, and my local dealer second since they are not posted but I have been questioned while there by management (Bill, Staxx) why I need to carry. I actually wont go to any events in my hometown parks because of their no guns in parks rule, having a sign at the entrance to a park that says no guns allowed means two different things, to the legal gun owner it means I have to take my gun home first, to the theif it means I wont get shot here if I rob someone! Thats the part aout gun control liberals in Washington just dont get, more gun laws just means law abiding gun owners cant defend themselves from the theives that are already commiting a crime so why would they care if they use a stole gun in a robbery!

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I went to a place in Carrol, Iowa once a few years back. They had a "Philly Cheese Steak" on the menu, so just for amusement I asked the waitress what it was. After I got done laughing my ass off I said "uhhhh, no thanks." Seems I offended someone because the Manager came out and asked what was wrong with the Philly Cheese Steak. So I said "well, let me start by saying that I am from Philly. And Green peppers and swiss cheese do NOT make a Philly cheese steak. The mention of either could and would get your ass kicked in South Philly!" 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 You can send the photo of the truck to me at dmaney@comcast.net. This is done mainly to keep newer trucks from entering the show field that the driver is just looking for a place to park. We make sure to give special consideration to brands or models that are no longer in production.As far as weapons in the park, I am not aware of any restrictions. I can't say I have ever seen anyone carrying but I would not be surprised if there are numerous firearms on the property during the ATCA National Meet. I can't recall seeing any signs notifying visitors that weapons are not permitted and I just reviewed the website and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

rsb502 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks, some clubs/ organizations have rules about that stuff and if I'm driving over 800 miles I'm gonna know ahead of time. I already have to go the long way thru KY since MD is a no no state for guns.

They have a B20 or B30 rusting away. I bought parts of a Brockway 761 and an Oliver HG 68 from them. MikeIt was on Male Road I believe..

farmer52 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Is the property fenced so no one can enter? Is there anything left inside? I am going to see my friend at TMC and MATS next month and will ask him the possibility of getting on property with a truck to take some pics in front of the buildings. They would make a great background.I talked to my Mack friend (Jerry W) at TMC last week. I told him of our "desire" to drive trucks to the WHQ and take pictures on Sunday morning. He liked the idea and said it should not be a problem. But the old assembly plant and property were sold and is now a warehouse. The property is fenced with no access so we can't get any pics there. Unless someone wants to run the gate. A "Mack Convoy"?? Maybe some local BMT members could do some surveillance.
