well, i'm not too sure if there are other of us out there, but there are a select few people that find big semi's rather intriguing. I love my semis. one reason i had to have a CB in my MINI.

So, if you liek the big trucks of the road, post some pics!

One of my favorites, the semi from The Duel



It was a 1960 Peterbuilt



i always thought the early to mid 60's pertebuilts and Macks were pretty sinister looking.....

 

 

 

Ahh yes, big rigs. I have a thing for them too. Although no pics to share. A long hauler was what I wanted to be, of course before college, and before mechanics school, and before the Military.
I still have a thing for them. Yrs ago a buddy of mine got fired from JBHunt for mowing over the front of a car in a cabover in the city. I can gey my CDL, all I have to do is show my Government license and take a short test for Haz cargo. I plan to do ti one of these days.
In my daily driver I have a tone of ham and CB equipment. I started on CB when I was about 11 or 12. Which eventually led me into ham radio. I still get on the CB every once in a while and tear it up!
Keep the pics coming! I like interior shots the best!
Good thread, hope it gets more interest!

 

Only car nuts must like this flick!
Mad Max movies had some wild rigs.
And there are some incredible truck modelers out there:

i love semis.

that is the reason my other rig is a big truck

 

 

The towtruck from the Terminator film. Looks like an international to me.

 

My oh my!!!!

*wipes tears from eyes*








hahahaaa....

my sides hurt....

 

cmon mr. aussie, get me some mad max pictures

 

hmmm....I suppose that joke wouldn't have been as funny if you guys don't (mis)use the word "semi" in the same way we do...



ok ok....

hmm....what do we have here...

hm....how about this:



got gas?:





this guy didn't have any gas:



perhaps an old-skool one:

 

Holy Crap!

 

does he realize hes on the wrong side of the road?

 

come down to Australia and drive anywhere in the Northern Territory, outback Queensland or South Australia, and you're likely to see these "road trains"...

Go up to the NT and you can tangle with these beasts on roads with no speed limits.....

(nevermind the kangaroos, cattle, sheep and buffalo that have a habit of finding their way onto the road when you're doing 100mph! )

 

Perhaps...but the American tourist coming the other way might not....

 

haha well when I get $$$ i so want to come to AUS...*sigh* 1 day... 1 day

 

do you guys know what railroads are?

They are massively non-profitable. They just finished the tracks from Adelaide to Darwin that basically disect the country....

Trains are pretty weak in Australia...which is a shame...

Public transport sucks here too...

 

considering i spent 2grand on a clutch.... it might have to wait...

 

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to learn how to drive standard properly....?

 

is that 900 round trip?

jesus, i couldnt afford that till i was out of college. time to try and convince the parents to buy me a college grad present lol

 

that was a bit below the belt!

 

*DISCLAIMER: joke made on the assumption that he didn't ACTUALLY fry the clutch from poor driving skilllzzzz*

 

bah, he can take a bit of abuse.

 

well...considering I gave you crap about being fascinated by 'semis'....





you should start a thread about all the COOOL Stuff you found in those mags I sent you....

it's a wonderous world of Aussie coolness...
