Hi,


ReX M80

... x pier ance sez
stik wiff wotcha kno
th@ iz Relaible. . .


zaclee,
we see every day those that jump to the latest's i.e. mobile phone technology to find themselves having spent untold hours learning the new tec only to be severely disappointed in the end result and no better off than they were before.

Maybe same with trucks?
Modern cowboys call for the RAA when it stops because that's how they have been trained and that's the work place policy. (OHW, legal liability's, personal skills what ever, whatever).

Folks like the Swish climb underneath the beast with a handful of spanners an fix the bloody thing.

Go with what you know.

Works for me.

No right or wrong.

Volvo/ Kenworth, Ford/ Holden, Windows/ Mac, Old Nokia/new whats its. . . What ever floats your boat.

Go in Peace, do your own thing in your own way.
They both work.

Gentlemen.
Browny, It will have a Computer sending all sorts of confusing messages, God forbid, Swishy is trouble enough the way he is, a confused Swishy would be impossible to handle.
Cunning, Yes they do the job very well, the Trucks are great, servicing can be a little difficult at times.
Bill, I would prefer not to say what we pay for the Mercedes, other than it is very very competitive, then again we do have 9 2660s on heavy work. Main stream parts are reasonably priced, the odd ones can be a little expensive. They handle gross weights up to 130 tonnes with relative ease, servicing and customer support is very good.
Our Trucks have to V8 engine, the new generation have a 6 cylinder engine. I have driven the new generation Truck in Europe, to say good, nice, exceptional is an understatement .

Come on now and stop the Motorcycles and pretty girls, we need to know about the 2010 Mack, this is ground breaking news directly from your own post.

Giddy ,
You mean to tell Me , you NEVER changed down to go through Kamarah (or Binya for that matter) you naughty Boy, :o :o
Or were you too busy trying to keep your momentum up to hold Top gear up that rise past the Fruitfly Bin & the Tin Mine?? :-/ :-/


Rex,
I read somewhere that Benz & Freightliner are going down the same path as Volvo & Mack. & sharing common Platforms IE: engines ect.
I'm pretty sure that,That six cylinder Engine is a Benz variant of the 15 litre Detroit Diesel (DD15) Motor.. BISTBC.

Swishy,
Matey any chance of a happy snap of your new (to you) VOMACK ???
enquiring Minds & all that :-/ :-/
