Looking great what you planning to pull with that beast?

[Aussie]

I have a Aussie flatbed trailer in the making, just waiting for a Tami Flatbed as a donor to arrive for parts to finish it, and I also have a Tanker "B" Double in the works, So, at this stage, the MAN and this beastie will have to share til the low loader is finished...

Lucky I'm on a 2 weeks annual leave from work, gonna be busy....

Thanks for the info, tracy, looks like a big show, wish Adelaide would do something like that, we don't even have a car show anymore

Gonna have to see what I can do, Tim, I got another 2 weeks holidays towards the end of July, hope they coincide with the dates of the show, will let you know closer to the time.

Thanks again

Well it is SA after all no offence paul at least you have the Tour Down Under and SA was voted to be the best place to live in Aus LOL
It could be worse paul, you could living in the most expencive city Sydney

Cheers Tracy

[Aussie]

Yeah, I guess you're right, We do have Clipsal as well!!!

Speaking of Tour Down Under, not my favourite job, long story short, I was working on stage 5 of TDU, putting up tents when I jumped up on the truck, went *** over head and pulled my right arm outta the socket, very painful, anyway, I am now permanantly disabled in that respect....NOT HAPPY JAN

I'm Paul, and that's my story......Lol!!!

Anyway, small update on the Scania, almost there....

Black Paint done



Body on, MFU in, having trouble with it though

Very nice!!

My father loves his MAN... he puts a bunch of miles on his down in Florida during the winter!! He has it in parades and toolin around the island. He has the reefer trailer and now he wants a Nascar styled trailer.

Just got the Aeromax done... and a bit more on my Scania.
This weekend will be a bust for building...... 4th of July here and my park will be crazy busy!!!


Take care!!

Thanks Mike, they do look good together,

I gave them both a good run today with the tanker and I must say the Carson Truck Puller motor in the Scania is great, nice and slow, Then I took the MAN out for a run, under-estimated the speed and drove it off the kerb, rolled on it's side, A few scratches, nothing serious, will be getting a Carson for it though...

Sounds like you got a busy time ahead of you, And I love your Scania, it's a work of art

Now that is funny paul, when I first got mine I had couldn't wait for the MFU and the place I got my radio from through a Futaba MC230CR esc in free and it went off like a rocket and and launched it off the kerb and then It decided to drive it self into the fence, need less to say the esc came out and the MFU went in and it a lot slower,
I guess we all have done a similar things but that's all learning how much throttle to use and not use

Cheers Tracy

[Aussie]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!, Good Onya, Tim, Don't make me come over there

[glorydays24]

The Man and Scania looks good as a team...I'm really ashamed I don't have my Scania done yet. I've only had her here for about three months or so...

They do look good together!!
