Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 Landing on my feet may be a huge over statement My ass and my left shin look a tad different now My boy (shouldn't call him a boy, he's a grown man) anyway my boy sends me some photos of the work he does Probably shouldn't really share them on social media but this is Big Mack Truck forum and hopefully not full of wankers When trucks come in looking twisted out of shape he massages them back into shape He has obviously not paid a huge amount of attention to his father as he has it neat and tidy Paul 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/9/#findComment-524668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even tried to use it while watching a recorded Yankees game still wasn’t happy….. Bob boring is putting it lightly;; I call it misrepresentation. no one told me the beautiful girl in the treadmill TV commercial WASN'T in the box with the treadmill. I looked the box over carefully before I bought it for my wife.NO WHERE did the sealed box say model not included. 🤣🤣 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/9/#findComment-524676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yes sir they do dress it up considerably without the chick , it looks like something they would force you to operate in jail or traffic school… they should put some sort of warning label in their TV ads. … Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/9/#findComment-524687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 tjc, funny you say that. When l got out of high school l worked in a garage/frame shop. The owner built a frame machine on that idea. lt was 14' tall and 50' long. We could push or pull 50 ton every way but straight down. We repaired dump trailers that had fallen over, some more than once. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/9/#findComment-524923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Did you jokers know this May 1943. Newly delivered to the RAAF, Lancaster Q for Queenie was doing promotional flights around Australia for war bonds. Upon arrival over Sydney the pilot dived towards the harbour and, at full speed, beat up along the water right under the Sydney Harbour bridge. It remains the largest aircraft ever to do this and was totally unplanned. Well if you didn't you do now, go and have a beer from your very on fridge Oh hang you lot from over there wont have a clue what I just said Go a get a beer out of your refrigerator 😁 Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/9/#findComment-524940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
