Popular Post Vladislav Posted June 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2013 Here's a short report of the time we're being in USA. Sorry, I can't post the pics of our trip which are in my camera, so here're some of them from Ilya's IPhone. We spent half a day in Dorney park, then went to Strasbugr, PA to look over RailRoad museum. It was nice to see a steam loc in action. The next point we came to were Niagara Falls. We covered many miles by the way and local roads also. Enjoyed the scenary. There were many nice looking Macks, but mostly of a modern kind. The only SuperLiner we've seen down the road was the green one owned by Steve (sm54) on the 86 interstate yesterday. Steve, the old jalopy looked great! The most fresh news: We visited Matt Pfahl's workshop today and bought some stuff from there. To my great surprise he gave me a box and said: Paul Roncetti sent it to me for you. Thee was yellow book with a list of hardware in it. Paul, great thanks to you! You asked about my impressions of the country. My answer: too nice, warm and friendly people. Said by Vlad, writed by Ilya. 7 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31662-passing-the-roads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack mhe9 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I wonder if it was weird when someone said something like " this is a old town or building or what ever " and you thinking that's not old where I come from? I'm sure there's outhouses older then our country over there.

Vladislav Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hello folks, thanks again for the kind words.I've flight back to Europe successful and now continue crossing the roads. Now at Poland. I'm mostly off the net by the way so more talks when I'll be home. But I'm not empty-handed now.Right today I saw in Germany the motorbike with Michigan plates. With boxes stickered of all over the world. When I got back after a breakfast I had a luck to meet the owners. They were really from the States being travelled from Norway. So the small world again! 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31662-passing-the-roads/#findComment-190949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Oh, hell, looks like I'm back to the normal life.Came home in Thurteday evening and found out lots of to do, carry about and pay attention to.As a nice addition the temperature here was 90 (am I correct - 32 celsias?).I haven't got so hot during all the holidays, last days in Europe it was mostly rain.The flight from JFK was relatively easy with minor exceptions such as checking in 1h20m before the departue after 3 hour drive from Connecticut and $100 extra pay for overweight and oversize due to the holy crap I bought from Matt Pfahl.Matt - great thanks, I'm really happy having that couple of brand new army truck headlights made in 1942-44(?)Belorussian customers were not - they surprized too much seeing so much old truck stuff in the car headed to Moscow from Poland.There were not only headlights because I spent some time in my Nederland friend's house and picked up so much so I could. As usual.The customers forsed me to lay out everything from the car on the table. Seeing nothing interesting as drugs or guns they said Good-buy and opened the gate. JT - the motorcycle was BMW indeed.The only thing I was wrong it wasn't registred Michigan but Minessota.Ken, you noted right - last time I use to remember the words describing an illness in the area of human body's back side.
