Sean, a great observation on your part. Most new transmissions are load sensing, plus grade sensing by a micro gyroscope. Today's cars and trucks are fully controlled by the transmission, based on these inputs from your right foot, and feedback from the engine and exhaust management systems. We...

Great posts mate. I agree, classic cars just don’t suit window tint (or LED interior lights🙄) A terrific result with the headlights mate. Any pics from the drivers seat new v old? The car show is tops as always from you, the stand out there for me is the Magna wagon! 🥰

This looks fantastic

Some great work here mate.

Beautiful images Bryce. Some really nice cars there.

Thanks for clarifying this mate, understood. Fun fact. Australian trucks now have new 2025 ADR‘s about safety systems and stability control, so the government knows these systems are weighty, so we are now allowed to go to 7000kg (from 6500kg), on the 2 steer tyres tyres. (or front axle) To...

What is so special about the 6.9 that requires specialised tyres Mark?

Speedos can be checked by tyre rotation/km. The tyre sites usually have this info as well.

You’re too kind mate, thank you.

Thank you sir. It‘s been a busy couple of weeks, plus being exposed to a huge model range that is still under wraps at the moment gave me a few headaches, but it‘s Saturday now, so I can reflect, get ready for next week, and buy some industrial size Panadol :eek: Here are some images of my new...

I may need this man's services moving forward Styria.

Yep, a massive gap! This is a good lesson.

Fantastic mate. great pics.

Thank you Michel. My break between jobs is running out quick :(

Many thanks gents. Retirement still sounds great. Not too many big rigs in these brands, however still plenty to haul with these ones.
