Popular Post yarnall Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2015 This truck belongs to a buddy of mine. He has had it a few years and has done a bunch of cosmetic work. It is a nice, solid truck. I hate the bumper though. I offered him a steel bumper for free but he bought this one. He bought the chrome grill at. Macungie and put it on on the show field. Here it is at Trucktoberfest with 3 other F700's. Sorry for the fog. It was not the best weather this year.As for Macungie. It is definitely worth the 18 mile trip I have to make. I've only missed one year since about 1990. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Yes, that is one cool truck indeed. Not too extraordinar color scheme but makes it look nice. Those mirror-like headlights took my attention so I got up close to check them out. The picture is from Macungie 2013, the only time I saw that rig in person. Unfortunately you guys aren't on an hour long distance to come visit Edited October 1, 2017 by Vladislav Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The most thing I always say after being there is beautiful people.The most everybody I met was glad to pay attention, show out interesting things and eager to help if needed.Love the country sights. The land is beautiful and seemed great in size. I tried my best to see some different parts of it being limited in time. Made about 1500 miles drive through PA, NY and CT. But after looking the map it seemed like I was just wobbling in a corner Hope to travel more in the future. Not sure when I'll be able to though.Was surprized a bit of relatively slow speed limit on generally empty and perfect roads.Would be over relaxed and sleepy driving a fast car or a sport bike.Finally got into conclusion the best thing to travel with would be a truck Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david wild Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hey Vlad is it true some of the crew on a Antonov 124 or 225 were killed by Muslim jerk offs ??? Read they were In a motel and it was attacked. ?? Spent many hours on the 225 and got to know the crew real well, did not make it to Russia but went to Kiev many times, 225 greatest plane in the world.

Read they were In a motel and it was attacked. ?? Spent many hours on the 225 and got to know the crew real well, did not make it to Russia but went to Kiev many times, 225 greatest plane in the world. Ufff... Sounds like I missed something about the news. I'm not much with media and have absolutely no TV avoiding "fontains of crap".But follow news in general in the net and don't remember anything about what you mentioned.Kiev is a nice city, I was to a couple of times in the past. Not a good time for Russians to make a trip there right now though. Damn political games...I would note about Muslims that there's a lot of them around overhere and they were in the past either. Actually not all of them are so radical, many good folks and friendly. Many became less religious living tight in modern civilized society. For example my sister is married with the guy who is from Muslim family. But it seems to me he's actually not in trust at all. But thoose Middle East peoples seem too poor and hungry being such ugly and agressive. Their trust just helps them to be that way.One more point about Muslim religion. I was told many times and it's not difficult to figure out that religion produces strong society. It sure might be agressive and so on but it's much stronger as a nation as for example Christians use to be. Civilized folks don't accept shortage of rights to a women and many other public restrictions. Although that makes a Muslim family much more stable and possible to born and grow multyple kids. That's generally why those folks are so large about population. Interesting moment with Muslim women who should cover some or every parts of her bodies being on public. And the same about porn restriction. The matter is when a woman attracts a man a mother nature means it's to produce kids. But women are clever and don't allow a man to get her easily. Man has to do alot for, get stressed, might get nerved and finally might not get a woman at all. A modern woman can easily recive alot of gooddies from lots of men and finally have no kids at all. On the other hand a man might watch porns or buy sex and has much less reasons to fight for a woman. That's part of our modern democracy. But that doesn't produce stable and increasing society.Muslims seem stronger and more powerful as a society that way. I think we should take it to account. At least to understand.

david wild Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 And every Friday night all the flights are full going to off shore sites from Kuwait so that the Muslims can practice their degenerate passions, while over there I was told women were for breeding and men for loving ??? sounds like a bunch of wackos to me, but I will admit that I felt very safe walking around the city and late at night at the bazzar. but that still does make it alright to put man in cage and burn him to death, or make the gays jump off the roof of abuilding and I'm no supporter of the gays, but they take things way to far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david wild Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yep, looked it up, 6 crew members killed while on a rest break in the motel, nice bunch them Muslims, I would not make any excuses for any religion that does not come out and condem that actions of any of it's followers.
