Axlito Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi guys! first of all i want to say thanks for let me be part of this comunnity, second i beg your pardon for my english hahahaha!, my name is Andres, i'm from Mendoza, Argentina, and like my father before me, and my grandpa before my father, i'm a trucker, my father and i loved the american trucks style, but there are no american trucks factories, just europeans, so we have a lot of Scania, Volvo, IVECO, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen, also we have Ford Trucks too, but they are the Cargo Model hehehehe, anyway, in 1998 we want to buy a new truck for our familiar transport business and hangin around we found a MH 613 forgotten in the backyard of a truck dealer, we love it at first sight hehehehe, and we buy it!!!!!!, so since 1998 we reach our dream and have a real american truck on our fleet, the old 1984 MH 613 has been a great partner for us, we had no complainings he runs like if he were new and we love our old "Galpon con ruedas" hehehehe, i expect share some pictures of him and also expect make new friends from all around the world here!So thanks again for accepting me, and we read each other buddies!Andres Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31175-greetings-from-argentina/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hello Andres, You're MH 613 is in perfect condition. You're English is fine too. I think a lot of people in the world don't realize how vast S. America is and the distances involved. It actually dwarfs N. America and much more industrialized than one may think.....Paul Quote RONCETTI Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31175-greetings-from-argentina/#findComment-183983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlito Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks other dog!, Green dash i hope that you enjoyed the pictures, and Paul thanks to you too!, i was really worried about my english cause i learned by playing video games hahahahaha believe it or not! like said Jack Palance! hehehehe, actually i think you're right pal, many people doesn't know a lot of things about South America, and many people even doesn't know nothing about Argentina!, 10 years ago we were almost broke up economically speaking, but now we are "back in the road" hehehehehe, for example after 25 years Ford Motor Company starts to manufacturing engines again, also we had a deep renovation in the Chevrolet, Toyota, Volkswagen, Scania, Mercedes Benz, Jhon Deere and Case factories, But still waiting for the Mack Trucks factories here! hahahahahaha, about my MH 613, when we buy it, he was........AWFUL! hehehehe he doesn't had his front, the cab was painted in an "abandoned sunburn" blue colour, and had a lots of part missing, in 2001 while we try to fix the molten engine, i copied the front from another one who was in a truck stop, and with some help i could rebuild it, it is not perfect but it looks "acceptable", i think! hehehehe what do you think about?

Green Dash Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 There are many younger members on here that would not associate the phrase "believe it or not" with Jack Palance. Are you sure your not from the states? 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31175-greetings-from-argentina/#findComment-184279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
