Whilst shows are enjoyable, it is always good to see an older vehicle still at work.
Ive got a few to put up over the coming weeks but please feel free to add any that you have.

Saw this old girl in January and have seen her since hauling out of Lysterfield.

I saw this doing roadworks on the south side of East Richmond Station (Melbourne) last week. By the time I saw it the train had speed up so no chance of even getting a phone photo - sorry guys

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

I still reckon this Flintstone takes the "Working Classic" cake... Pretty sure it's still on interstate.
Can anyone enlighten me on the old girls story?
(sorry guys i stuck this in last week on another post but i couldn't resist putting it in again....

Great photos.

I've been trying for years to get a photo of a blue Butterbox ACCO semi that still gets around Melbourne on a daily basis. It's got a highrise sleeper grafted into the cab that looks like it's from an Aerodyne Kenworth.

I see it at least once a month all over the place and I can never manage to get a photo. :(

Yes, that Acco's a pretty cool rig hey. A mate of mine had a chat to him one day, it has a 903 in it, and from memory it was actually built like that, so it's not actually a butterbox exactly? But as Swishy says.... Eye do stand 2 B etc etc..
There is also a white FR700 Mack getting around Melbourne still working, matter of fact it was at the Muster o'Macks I think..
This Road Commander was spotted at Goondawindi a while ago, must say it was a credit to its owner, clean and neat. Had a 903T I think. Looks like it's still making a good mile. One of you blokes must know of it I reckon..
