Popular Post Timothy Maikshilo Posted November 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well we are headed to New Zealand and first going to Montreal for Thanksgiving where Fullfuel01 is driving us to the airport Friday morning. Flight got changed from San Fransisco to Vancouver and then to Auckland and Christchurch. Max has purchased an old SUV for us to run around in for 7 weeksLooking forward to seeing him and spending Christmas and The New Year with him and all the beauty that NZ has to offer...oh and Roadusecharges, well see him too! I'll post pics of the trucks I see. Tim 11 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37888-headed-to-new-zealand/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Have a nice safe trip Tim. I did not know Max moved to New Zealand.I imagine Old Castle finished up in Vermont for the year. I work for them (Pennsy Supply) in Northeastern,Pa. And they never want to quit. We got about 1 foot of snow in Lake Ariel and maybe 8 inches in Pittston.Joe D.
