Popular Post Nascarroush Posted May 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone, I have just joined up to this great site , I live in England and have been a big Mack truck fan since I was probably 4 . Now at 45 I really want to build a Rubberduck replica out of an R model. Living in England these are obviously not very common at all , however importing from the States is pretty easy. My other passions are my 800hp NASCAR , ex Carl Edwards 99 Ford Fusion and I have owned and raced so many Mustangs I’ve probably lost count . Guess I was just born in the wrong country, growing up in the 70s and 80s every thing I used to watch on tv involved American cars and Trucks , guess that made us like we are 👍. I’m also a big country music fan .Thanks for letting me join .

j hancock Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Welcome Simon! Like the looks of your weekend ride. You have a bit of brake lock up on the RF. Nothing wrong with driving at 10/10ths!

VALS327 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Welcome aboard, yeah I have not seen any Mack trucks while over visiting my wife’s family and I sure have not seen any NASCAR’s while visiting. Her cousins husband is in to rally cars and competes several times a year. They are in Whales just outside of Swansea Take care, Don Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57165-hi-from-england/#findComment-422525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’m not a ford guy but that is a pretty cool car. It must be a blast to drive. You are in a whole different horsepower to weight ratio with that.

Vladislav Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Welocome to the group! Cool toys you have, must be plenty of fun. I also live in a country where Macks are really scarce and should say owning one is a real adventure. Hope you will find the way to do what you're plannyng to do about Rubber Duck replica.

Terry T Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 This is the most authentic Rubber Duck there is. Dan Bruno put a lot of time & effort into this. It actually has parts from one of the original movie trucks and I think it uses that VIN. The trailer is one of two used in the movie as well. Dan sold the rig several years ago to Brad Wike who I think has since sold it and it may be in Georgia. On another site Dan did post pics of his new Western Star that will look like a "modern day" Duck truck. Single exhaust, blacked out, etc...
