Your son made a really beautiful job! You must be happy with the present. But that particulary truck is not an Aussie rig but Dutch one. I tell more, the owner of this F is a member on here and a real Mack fan. I will send a link to this thread to him and I'm pretty sure he will want to contact you and say "hello" to your son Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52050-my-christmas-present/#findComment-388263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-42 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 h67st, Is your son a professional artist or does he do this because he enjoys it? He is obviously a talented individual....spoken by a guy with zero talent who could not draw a straight line with a ruler if my life depended on it.

Popular Post Dutchmack Posted December 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi h67sr, Wow, your son did a very good job on drawing my truck. As Vladislav mentioned above, this F786ST is a Dutch truck (from 1980). I'm very honoured that your son choose my truck for his beautifull drawing! Just too late for this X-mas card, but I wish you all a very good New Year!

Wasn’t there a thing where speed limited tricks could do 100, and non speed limited trucks only 90? I’m thinking nsw back in the 90’s. The road train limit varies state to state. I know WA they can do 100 and pretty sure SA too. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52050-my-christmas-present/#findComment-388383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking nsw back in the 90’s. That's right. The Blanket Speed limit was 90kmh. You could only do a 100 on designated Roads If you, had a Speed limiter & displayed those signs.. Rumour has it that there were plenty of non speed limited Trucks fitted with those Signs Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52050-my-christmas-present/#findComment-388434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
