Vladislav Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just remembered Rob's theory why people don't use U-models in the Southern semi-sphere.There was something about Careolis' velocity and direction of water making turns in a sh*t vessel...

Mike Blais Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was checking out a Youtube clip of a U model with a 711. I always liked the sound of that engine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq-BiT0GMAQ Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34798-u-model/#findComment-234749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. You'd have to offset the cab the other way to use it south of the equator, wouldn't you! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Vladislav Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If I'd be Australian, I'd like to built RHD offset replica.As for now there was a beast for sale locally although a friend of mine told me about too late and I missed it.She's at the good home now as far as I know.Not a U-model though, DM.

ws721 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 that offset cab is just a practice tool for you guys with hoods. Training you to one day day drive a Cabover. LOL. See, after you master sitting on the yellow line in the road we will take away the hood which aim it by. Local contractor had R's and CH's plus DM. I always went for the DM. He told me that DM stood for Dream Machine. It was the best going, handling, hauling truck in the fleet. I could haul more than the triaxles with that DM being a ten wheeler. Not legally but it handled it better. 285 with a 2 stick 6 speed. 2 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted February 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2014 U-models fall over on their sides. Cabovers fall over on their faces.
